Bottle from Systembolaget. I don’t warm to this beer at all. It’s bright, amber and flat. Vaguely yeasty, vaguely cheesy, and vaguely berry-like. Taste is vaguely like far better Belgium ales, and feels artificial, dusty, dirty and a little metallic.

Aug 19, 2008 On tap @ De Geuzen. Copper/amber colour, white head. Aroma of malts, yeast and caramel. Flavour is malty sweet, with a yeasty bitter finish. Some metallic notes. Dry mouthfeel. OK amber.

Aug 16, 2008 Alla spina al bar di fronte al Moulin de la Galette, in rue Lepic; non spiacevole birra di poche pretese, con un sentore alcolico spropositato per la sua gradazione ma tuttavia abbastanza beverina. Mielosa e caramellosa quanto le si addice ma con meno sentore cerealicolo che la Palm.

Aug 15, 2008 11.2 oz. bottle poured into tumbler- poured transparent copper tan, medium carbonation of tiny bubbles, white ring around the glass for a head that laced some. Aroma of a caramel malt, honey, and lillies (?). Hits the mouth with a high-lower end body, malt has a odd character to it- it kind of doesn’t want to be noticed but it’s there, acidity from hops on the finish. Odd one.

Aug 14, 2008 Bottle from Gravity in Olympia, WA--Poured a hazy gnarley red, thin body. Mild fluffy biege head. Sticky, malty, cardboardy. Nothing special, but ok. I wouldn’t go out of my way to find this beer again.

Aug 13, 2008 Pours a clear orange-copper with less than 1 cm of white head.
Smells grainy, straw, honey, unidentifiable fruits, and a touch of sulphur.
Mouthfeel is slick with lower than average carbonation.
Tastes honey sweet, citrus sour, with hops front and centre without being dominant. Has a medium bitter finish.
Not bad.
