3.9 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 16/20
Small white head over hazy blond beer. Very nice citrussy-Bretty (like USA Wyeastlabs Bretts) nose. Again that farmyard,- bretty flavour, with a toasted finish. Excellent balance and good complexity; citrushints. Well-carbonated, bit sharpish MF. Light body - or rather well-attenuated. My friend, how keep you doing it? Everytime it is something worth seeking out...

75 cl. bottle sample @ 18th Christmasbeer festival in Essen. Hazy golden with a white head. Smell is sweet & fruity, lots of pears in here, Belgian candy sugar & quite a bit of fruit sugar. Taste is white bread, candy sugar, lots of pears, tad pear syrup, light hops, very sweet pears, white sugar, fruity Belgian yeast. Body is a tad fuller – nice.

15/XII/12 - 75cl bottle @ Kerstbierenfestival (Essen) - BB: n/a (2012-1371)
Little cloudy orange beer, creamy white head, bit stable, adhesive, leaving a nice lacing in the glass. Aroma: yeasty, basement, bit sour, grapes, white wine, bit cheesy, fruity, herbal. MF: ok carbon, medium body. Taste: sourish start, citrus, pretty bitter, white grapes, dry. Aftertaste: piny, bit chemical bitterness, dry ending, bit sour. Has this been put on fresh oak or white wine barrels or something? It sort of works, but not really.

3.7 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 15/20
Bottle sample @ 18de Kerstbierfestival, Essen 2012.
Dorée trouble, col blanc.
Arôme herbacée et douce, notes rappelant presque des fruits fermentés; abricots, le tout sur une pointe de vin blanc et qcq épices.
Palais est aussi agréable, note de pamplemousse, presque de raisin blanc pour une effervescence moyenne, fini garde une belle pointe d’amertume. La part belle est laissée aux houblons, le malt est là mais reste en retrait, tout au profit d’un palais agréablement bien fruité.
