PapillonPO (6), Florida, USA does not count Oct 7, 2005 Aromas of cherries, Spice, sugar, au courant . Deep red in color, nice pink head and lace was present. Aroma was fantastic sweet, fruity malty. Very tart and SHARP. This beer goes down smooth and leaves the mouth happy and tart. pubscout (24), Perth Amboy, New Jersey, USA Dec 23, 2003 Ya gotta love what Sam is doing in Delaware! Kind of like a big brother to Raison d'etre, this is an extraordinary beer, ready for your holiday table, though I'd serve it in a regular pint glass instead of the recommended flute. More of the nose seems to come through that way, and this is a nose not to be missed.
I look forward to sitting in front of my fireplace tomorrow evening, enjoying an Au Courant while reading Clement Moore's classic poem to my sons....Merry Christmas! (Hope my family sees this and buys me a case as a present!) imadeadguy (155), From NJ, now in Clovis, California, USA Aug 21, 2008 Updated: Aug 25, 20082003 12oz Vintage. Pure Gusher! Pours hazy orange copper color with 1" of frothy with head. Aromas of grapes, sweet malt, and sugar. Flavor was just the same as the aroma. Very "slammable" brew and just downright good. I would like to have had a fresh batch of this to compare... beerslayer (753), New Jersey, USA Dec 11, 2003 I really liked this fruit beer. Not too sweet, raspberry, light hop and courant flavors. Finishes clean, crisp, and dry. Eyedrinkale (3109), Beer Town, New York, USA Jan 20, 2004 Updated: Dec 16, 2004Amber pour with minimal head. Initial aromas of grape that become currant. Fizzy like a nice warm belgian ale. Suble fruit flavors. Re-rated with new recipe. The new yeast that’s used in this tastes very much like Fantome. Awesome stuff now.
