3.5 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 13/20
(Bottled, BBE 11/2013) Opaque amber with a medium, firm and lacy head. Honey-cerealy-malty, sweetish nose with strawberries and ripe fruit. Flavor is honeyish and somewhat sweet, but not cloying. Also berries strongly present with some raspberry stones and a touch of acidity with a harsh bitterness from the hops. Slightly smoother and better with yeast. Quite full body despite the fizzy CO2. Hides the alcohol well. I wonder if some NZ hops have been (over)used in this, given the harsh, exotic, lingering bitterness. 5547

3.4 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20
Small yellowish ehad over (cold)hazed orange beer with countless small UFO’s. More (citrus)hop than honey in the nose, some spicy herb as well; the honey appearing in the background. Bitterish-spicy; yeast/dough flavours. Some alcoholic sweetness as well, liqueurish. Feels very carbonated to fizzy. Some gristslickness, medium bodied. Aftertaste carries some honey-like hints. Not distinctive enough. Balance is OK, but for the rest, I can’t get hot nor cold over this.

Bottle @ VBPF’12.
Orangée, brumeuse, col blanc.
Arôme fleuri gardant ce bouquet organique mielleux de sucré légèrement fermenté.
En bouche, épais, miel léger et doux pour une fin de bouche fraîche et organique, pointe de houblon épicé et des malts pâle/cara/2row. Le miel reste un bon atout pour cette bière sans trop prendre le dessus, le tout laissant la place à un côté fruité et houblonné pour se faire la part belle des choses.
