Apr 21, 2004 Updated: Aug 9, 2004This beer has a beautiful swingtop bottle. Unfortunately, it doesn't have much else going for it. It pours nicely, with a thick head (albeit fizzy one). Aroma is strangely sour, smelling much like a Fosters lager (weird). Initial flavor pretty tolerable, watery and a bit malty but not too sweet. Almost like a weird corn taste. Aftertaste is pretty disappointing. Don't drink this with a meal. This beer has a strange effect in which it overenhances food that you eat. Creepy. And what in the hell is that fishy rubbery taste? I'll stick to Grolsch for my swing-tops (great bottles for bottling your own beer). I've got a sixer of Tilburg's Dutch Brown Ale in the fridge, waiting for me to suffer my way through this bottle. Blech.

Apr 21, 2004 Bottled, pasteurised. Reddish amber with bubbly, gassed head. Despite the gassiness of the beer there is a surprising amount of flavour, all malt really, but there is a certain charm to it. Presentable.

Apr 12, 2004 Updated: Apr 14, 2004An amber ale that is good tasting. France made a good beer with this one. It has a powerful after taste which i didnt mind too much

Apr 8, 2004 Light bodied, watery brew with a slight chocolate, almost tart, citrusy-carmel flavor; slightly astringent, and generally underwhelming.

Apr 7, 2004 Darker amber pour with a frothy head that dissapated quick, spotty lacing and lots of carbonation. Wet malt aroma with a slight touch of bitter hops. A little nutty or earthy. Earthy malts, caramel, and bitter hops. Quite a bit of bitter hops. A slight soap like quality to it. Slightly dry palate, medium body, and an acidic, bitter finish.

Apr 5, 2004 Copper looking amber/gold beer. Nice foam white head with lacing. Smells sweet and malty. Tastes of iron or some other metal. Better than thec Bitter. Not great flavor but not the most horrible beer ever either. Thisis hard to type one handed. Baby's in the other arm.

Apr 5, 2004 Huge white head atop a golden orange body. Easy drinking, very mild. Initially slightly sweet but finishes with a clean with a champaign like dryness.

Mar 29, 2004 A decent amber ale with nice thick white head. Aroma is a little stinky but the flavor was decent and went down easy.
