Feb 16, 2006 pours copper color with a large off-white head, aroma of sweet malts, slight fruit, and some spices. The flavor is off a bit, sweet, malty, grass-like, blah, boring.

Jan 31, 2006 Meaty, buttery, mostly sweet aroma with some doughy yeast character. Clear amber coloured body with a low white head that recedes to a thin cover with patchy lacing. Buttery flavour has vegetal notes and a cardboard-like staleness. Some caramel sweetness and herbal hops with mild bitterness. Medium body with fairly low carbonation. Bottle (BB. Nov-06) sampled with MartinT, Olivier MTL, Rastacouere and Siroy.

Jan 30, 2006 Any first impressions?
-Scant head lasting over clear copper-orange.
-Exuberant orangey fruitiness lays on pils-like, bready malt.
-The well-hopped finish is appreciated.
-The carbonation and thin body are obviously made for quaffing.
What if you dig deeper?
-The dry wooden hoppiness in the aroma could appear vegetal to some.
-Vaguely caramelly maltiness is not polished, and in the end nearly tasteless.
-What else could you expect from an ordinary amber ale?
Bottle; best before November ’06.
