3.6 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 5/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 14/20
I gave this one a shot because of it’s uniqueness I tried this one in a champagne glass because of the methods used in brewing....it had a nice slightly fruity aroma...kind of a peachy/apricot. It had a nice light amber color with a champange like head. The cabonation was like that of a good champagne small bubbles...very nice.....it had a nice flavor slightly sweet and malty with a touch of sourness. Some hints of spice, anise. It finishes dry with the 11.5% alcohol not being noticable.

Bottle. A nice treat. A hazed golden color with a white head. Smokey and sweet with a syrupy finish. Nicely spiced with a sparkling champagne character that finishes with a lightly sour, yeasty, fruitiness. Thanks to the bachelor party crew for this one!

This dark blonde ale poured with a bubbly white head - very sparkling and effervescent. This is a unique brew, unlike anything I have had before. The flavor is complex - quite fruity, malty and sweet with a dry finish. The alcohol is not very noticeable. I really enjoyed this one.

Pours a cloudy yellow with a huge fluffy white head. The aroma is lightly fruity with a bit of breadiness and some spice. Flavor has a slight sweetness which develops to a light, teasingly dry, finish.

Bottle from River’s Bend. Poured hazy dark yellow with an average creamy white head that was mostly lasting with good lacing. Moderate complex yeast sour citrus aroma. Light to medium body with active carbonation. Medium sweet citrus flavor with a medium balanced finish of moderate duration. This is a smooth complex beer.

Pulled the trigger on this last week and let it sit. Fridge temp after all week in the cellar, in a Malheur glass. Beautiful pour, great carbonation and a bit of a meringue head, bright golden color, lots of bubbles. Amazingly fresh aroma, some dough and some anise, a lot of great belgian yeast character. But the flavors really let me down; fatiguingly sweet with not enough pepper or anise to clear it out, even got buttery and meaty and with a bit of diacetly presence when warm. Bummer.
4.2 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 9/10 PALATE 5/5 OVERALL 17/20
Bottle 750 ml. This beer is made by the champnoise method, so it seems like a champgne. Tall head and highly cabonated. Aroma is fruity. Taste is fruity and malty. Very nice mouthfeel. Very well balanced sweetness, cabonation, medium body. Very nice beer.
3.9 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 5/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 16/20
UPDATED: MAY 24, 2007 It is a fruity, sparkling beer. It’s head looks like the head of a champagne, specially if drank in a champagne glass. It tastes a little sweet, but it is a pleasant sweetness. It is a very expensive beer (around $30 a 750ml bottle!).
