KnutAlbert (3110), Oslo, Norway Mar 29, 2006 Canned version. It is bitter, almost sour, and sweet at the same time. There are lots of fruit and flowers in the taste - peaches sums it up. Alcohol content of 7,5% and it probably needs that to draw out the complex flavours. It needs the fizz in the can, too, when it gets flatter towards the bottom of the glass, it loses its balance. johninmelb (688), Bristol, Gloucestershire, England Mar 18, 2006 Nose of strong burnt sugar with some cloves and spice. Medium amber with dark head and slight lace. Flavour is sweet honey malt with slight fruit - maybe tangerine/mandarin. Finish is fresh and pleasing with a subtle bitter undercurrent. Not bad. brooklyn35 (5), salisbury mills, New York, USA does not count Mar 14, 2006 beautiful copper color with a full white head that has good longevity. The aromas are very sweet such as caramel and maple syrup. The taste matches what you would expect from the aromas. You get some caramel flavors and it is medium to full bodied. It feels nice in the mouth and there is a pleasant sweetness in the aftertaste. It is sweet without being cloying or unpleasant Sigmund (2197), Hafrsfjord, Norway Mar 11, 2006 500 ml can, bought in France. ABV is 7.5%. Deep amber colour, nearly clear. Large off-white head. Pleasant malty aroma with notes of aromatic hops, leather and oak. Malty and oaky flavour with tolerable hops, notes of toffee and caramel. Not bad at all for a canned beer! Saarlander (1577), Saarlouis, Germany Mar 6, 2006 Wow, malty, earthy, sweet, a good drink, first sip was abit unusual for me, but after a few sips, I´m liking it, not the best frech biere I´ve had, but still holds up on its own, nice. GarethYoung (1110), Glasgow, Scotland Feb 24, 2006 [bottle from peckhams] sweet, yeasty nose, strong malt character, toffee, brazil nuts, burnt sugar. smooth body sweet finish. ehhdayton (1113), USA Feb 23, 2006 The aroma is lightly fruity with some earthy undertones. The color is a light amber with a hughe white, frothy head. The head is very long lasting with lacing along the side. The flavor at first lightly fruity and followed by more of an earthiness. Throughtout there is a light spicey background and the finish is light. Despite the appearance of the head the beer is of remarkably low carbonation. imdownthepub (5089), Banbury, Oxfordshire, England Feb 6, 2006 Bottled, pasteurised, 330ml. Reddish amber colour with bubbly head. Light sweet easy going bitter, thin in body with a slight chemical twang. A little harsh on the tongue with over carbonation. Fruity sweet on the finish.
