Cloudy amber color. Aroma of vegetables and cabbage. Weak and dry mouthfeel, some vegetables, quite nasty, lightly herbal but not really pine trees... Very bad.

probably one of the best of Mandrin’s brewery. I had this one several years ago. I will complete when I’ll drink it again.
2.1 AROMA 3/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 6/20
Bottle at Churchkey, tasted side by side with the Noix. This one had maybe a bit of pine aroma if I use my imagination, but the taste is green apple skins. Interesting.
3 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 12/20
Bottle purchased in Paris. Orange/amber pour, off-white head. Sweet caramel malts, fruit, and piney spruce. Not very interesting of a beer despite. I am not a big fan.
3.4 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 15/20
Bottle 33cl. A cloudy amber beer with low head. Aroma is grainy, lightly toasted, with some fruit presence like honey and wood. A bit acid but drinkable, interesting but not exceptional.
3.7 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 14/20
Sweet malty nose, some caramel and a definite citrus/resinous note which I guess is fir mandrin. Lightly tart, lightly sweet taste, light acetic acid, but it’s very mild. Finishes with a good dose of citrus. Quite nice. Glad I didn’t get a bottle from the prior batch.

Bottle shared by ryan. Pours a hazy orange-yellow with a nice light tan head. Flowery fruity aroma with notes of apple, tropical fruit and citrus. Some must and funk. Flavor is moderately sweet, with spice, maybe coriander. Fruity with citrus and pineapple. Slight tartness with a bitter orange peel finish. Interesting beer. Slightly medicinal and the sweetness was a bit much for me, but otherwise a good beer.

330mL stubby bottle in mini-Duvel tulip. Now this is an interesting beer, as the commercial description says, its a sweet beer with a spice. Well that is exactly what one gets. The beer has a sugary sweetness mixed with a orange yeast character and then a spice, its not spruce, it’s spruce-like... so its fir. It pours a cloudy orange-amber color with a medium head that fades at a normal pace. The fir does not offset the sweetness, its all just mixed together. I am not in love with the beer but I like what the brewer did, original and interesting. BB October 2010, batch #344.
