Tap. Color copper with small head. Aroma fruits, yeast. Taste fruits, some caramel.

Poured into it’s original glass and it looks magical. Nice clear amber colour with a tanned head on top. I think the mystical part of this series has something like the Urthel series. Aroma has fruity yeastiness, ripe fruits like plums and strawberries and a small hint of cinnamon. Flavour is sweet with a full bitter finish. Really interesting find, looking forward to try more of this serie.

from beerplanet.eu openend 4 months after best before date. cloudy brown, small smooth offwhite head. hizzing and slightly gushing beer. sour berryish and old hoppy oxidized aroma. aroma is more like an american attempt to do a belgian, than a real one. flavor is yellow fruits, caramel, smoked note, fruity note. mild and tasty, almost so mild that the alc. is in the way. but only almost.

Bottled at HBF2011. Sightly peachy nose. Pale thin head. Dark golden colour. Soft fresh good taste. Mild hoppiness. Some hazyness after adding the sediment. Good!

Bottle (33 cl) from Etre Gourmét. Shady amber to copper, medium off-white head. Nutty and fruity aroma with some odd soapy off-flavor, without which this would be very tasty. Now it is just ok. Good balance.

(bottle, 33cl) Cloudy, bright orange colour with a medium-sized slightly tanned foamy head. Yeasty spicy and slightly cara-malty aroma with a present fruit-character with notes of lemon and tangerines. Sweet flavour with a tinge of bitterness, medium to full bodied with an almost lively carbonation. Fruity and yeasty caramel-malty taste, also slightly sugary with herbal spices; sweet and minimally sour-fruity finish with a slightly medicinal touch that fades after a few sips. Still an aromatic brew. 25.XI.10
