mephisto (1144), Taiwan Mar 8, 2005 i love the bottle. the taste is ok, but nothing spectaculr. i’d pay the price just for the bottle alone. Slick (1962), Thief River Falls, Minnesota, USA Feb 26, 2005 Good amber/golden color.Small white bubbly head that faded slowly leaving just a faint lace behind.Light malty aroma with a decent hop presence,and something that smells a little on the funky side.Malty flavor with a good hop presence and a bit of an off after taste.There is also just a hint of alcohol coming through but it’s fairly easy on the pallate.Over all it’s pretty smooth for the most part,but it’s also nothing special as well.Worth trying atleast once but beyond that is up to you. johno (84), Galveston, Texas, USA Feb 6, 2005 Clear, brownish gold. Fair sized white head. Aroma is skunky, wet straw/hay maybe? Bready flavor that lingers. Not recommended. steview (901), Los Angeles, California, USA Feb 4, 2005 Updated: Feb 5, 2005inactive body, big airy white head, acidic apple with light bready notes. nothing much here! but it is not that bad. feels thin, just not noteworthy enough. and this is an amber? egh, i don’t know. there’s nothing really to care for in this little ol’ french beer. UPDATE 2/5/05: downrated. i had a whole beer this time, and i had to drainpour. the flavor is offensive, seriously. not much in aroma, nor flavor... but it really did cause my tongue to roll. reminded me of my infected homebrew from awhile ago... BeerAteHer (384), St. Paul, Minnesota, USA Jan 27, 2005 This beer seems rather weak. Aroma is almost nonexistent and what’s there is slightly vinegary, acrid, with vague hints of dirty laundry. Very thin syrupy texture, but plenty of carbonation. Tastewise it’s actually ok - quite malty with hints of cola, and a (still slightly acrid) bitter linger - this plus the 6% saves Fischer Amber from a dud-1 rating in my book. Here it seems Fischer is out of its league, i.e., to have "swung at a bad pitch" - the brewery has plenty of good products on the market. DocLock (4648), Lower Pottsgrove, Pennsylvania, USA Jan 25, 2005 Dark straw pour, with some hopcit, cabernet, and fruit aromas. Tastes malty, with some fruit, hopcit, and a semi-dry, fruity, slight nutty finish. Slight apple cider element as it warmed. Not bad, but a probable "never again" for the Hop Doc. Eyedrinkale (3209), Astoria, New York, USA Jan 9, 2005 Bottle. Cloudy amber with breadlike aromas and light malt. Taste is also light bodied with flavors that were both sweet and somewhat bitter. A bit too sweet and a bit too light. nick76 (2634), Tampa, Florida, USA Jan 7, 2005 Updated: Oct 30, 2005A very delicate beer. Not a weak beer but not an overpowering beer. Nice grassy hops and light malt to balance it out. Some cheese taste too. I have to say this one does smell and taste like a lager and not an ale. But that aside this one is worth a try. Have it with your favorite french cuisine. Bon appetite.
