Bottled. An unclear golden beer with a lazing off-white head. The aroma has notes of vitamin C, malt, spices, and straw. The flavor is very sweet with strong notes of peaches as well as caramel and malt, leading to a very lightly finish. Thanks yespr for sharing. Thanks yespr for sharing.

33 cL bottle, courtesy of Bov. Pours hazy orange with a small white head. Aroma is mild spiced cornish, light acidic note. Sweet malty, light fruity. Mild yeasty note. Light phenolic too.

(Bottle 33 cl) Unclear amber with a rather tall, off-white head boosted by a completely extreme carbonation. Pours with big chunks of yeast already from the start. Fresh aroma with the yeast shining through. Medium body, quite malty with notes of citrus and coriander albeit the label doesn’t mention such spices. But presumably part of the hops are substituted by lemon balm. In a blind tasting I would’ve been a 100% certain, that this was Belgian. Nice all right, but the heavy carbonation makes it hard to drink. Heaviily sedimented. 230106

Bottled. Hazy dark yellow colour, big white bubbly head, which disappears fast. Aroma is a bit spiced along with fruits. Flavour is fruits, a bit mouldy with some hints of caramel. Lively carbonation.

Bottle at home. Muggy golden coloured with a small white head. Fruity aroma of caramel and spices. Fruity flavour of caramel and spices. Spicy finish.

[Bottled, thanks Bov!] Cloudy amber. Aroma of toffee and citrus. Very spritzy and livelyMild, yet discretely flavourful. Medium bodied, notes of estery bubblegum . Excessive carbonation makes it champagnelike.

Cloudy blond color, with a few floating particles. Very light malt aroma. There is too much carbonation, that along with a light astringent sourness, lets me think of a starting infection (LG035).

UPDATED: SEP 28, 2009 re-rated 9-2009 - pours a fully cloudy red-orange colour with no head retention; citrusy nose with notes of pumpkin; fizzy and quite sweet, moderate malt body and with no bitterness; lot of residual sugars in an effervescent and vegetable-like finish

11-2005; brewed using lemon balm for a part of hops - pours a cloudy orange colour under a very fizzy rocky white head; beautiful lace; citrusy, honeyish nose with notes of fir needle; very creamy in the mouth; high carbonation, the malt body is medium at best; it is rather sweet but a touch of tart acidity gives it balance and dynamic; the finish is long, fruity and flowery but with something undefined leaving in the mouth and making it not fully pleasant (5/7/7/3/15)

33cl bottle from Au Grain d’Orge, Switzerland. Lot# LG071 pours cloudy golden, thin fizzy, quickly disappearing head, almost effervescent. aroma, yeasty, brown sugar and hints of hops, the addition of mélisse plant adds a nice lemongrass nose. flavors, sweet and sugary, hints of hops that is subdued and flavor enhanced by the mélisse plant adding a nice extra citrus/lemon mouthfeel. Light note of bready malts to be noted. The beer ends a little one dimensional and although I enjoy the brewery’s use of special plants, many of my last few bottles tend to keep an overly yeasty palate to the point of being a little hard to finish. Good beer, but the yeast becomes way to present ampering most of the experience.

Pale murky coloured. Unclean aroma of yeast. Very yeasty and sweet and unclean. Unpleasant.
