0,75 bottle shared with friends at a French beer tasting. Dark blond colour with a loose, thin head consisting of big bubbles. Aroma of grains and malts. Flavour is alcoholic with the hints of bittercookies in the end. Too bad that it is not well balanced.

Blond-amber body. White creamy/frothy head. Aroma of hops and malts: not very well balanced but still ok. Moderately bitter, lightly sweet flavour; again of malts and some hops. Nice, not great.

Bouteille (Quack-Duck, merci!): Deep golden - the label says copper-coloured - , a bit unclear, stable small off-white head, lacy; a touch of coriander in the grainy-citrussy nose; moderate to solid sweet-bitter flavour, almost full bodied; slightly lingering sweet-honeyish finish with a good dash of coriander in the aftertaste. O.K. ......

Bottled, tnx Ben! Dark amber colour with thick firm white head. Fruity nose. Aroma is fruity with a little sweetness. Flavour is nicely fruity and subdued sweetness with a finishing hoppy touch. Alcohol is supressed the 8% is not dominant. Best French beer I ever had.

(bottle, 75cl, as Blonde Cuivrée, courtesy of Quack-Duck) Unclear, deep golden colour with a medium-sized off-white foamy head. Slightly yeasty, bready malty aroma with subtle notes of citrus, but also a noticeable alcoholic touch. Sweet and shy bitter flavour, medium to full bodied with a moderate carbonation. Bready and subtle fruity malt-character with spicy notes of coriander; moderately sweet and slightly bitter finish with coriander spice and notes of alcohol. 18.V.11

Ober (2125) - Bommelerwaard, NETHERLANDS - JAN 26, 2011
A little hazy golden colored beer, with a white head. The aroma of malts and flat fruits. The taste of some malts, spices, harsh. Still some sweets and also bitter notes. In the back a little sour. The aftertaste is some bittersweet.
