750 ml bottle labeld as Farmhouse Ale. Light-colored, weak head. Slightly hoppy and undistinctive flavor. Enjoyable and very drinkable, but also forgettable.

Poured with a very this head and with a beautiful vibrant red amber color. Aroma was nothing special a little alcoholic fruitiness. Flavor was smooth but left some off flavors and the alcohol was too apparent for a beer that is only 7.5%.
2.3 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 2/5 TASTE 4/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 9/20 YourDarkLord (1800) - Urbana, Illinois, USA - MAY 24, 2006
My expectations were low and were hence met. Orange/amber body with no head. Earthy tones, hints of anise, cultured wood and a little fruitiness.
Medium body, tingly mouthfeel. Baked biscuit and alcohol in the flavor. Somewhat intense and spicy.
3.5 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 14/20 Hugerat (452) - somerville, Massachusetts, USA - MAY 19, 2006
Aroma is estery, fruity and floral. Flavor is nice, though on the sweet side. Lots of wild berry flavors. Finish does leave something to be desired. Alcohol barely noticeable. Overall, a nice beer.
3 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 12/20 harlequinn (2745) - Tacoma, Washington, USA - MAY 9, 2006
This provides a malty aroma sometimes featuring, caramel, toasted bread and some dusty sort of funkiness, I can imagine only comes from this type of bottle and improper storage. Kind of plain and bland, with some herbal dark fruits and some light spiciness, with some toasted malt nutiness in the finish. Boring.
3.5 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20 SoLan (1550) - Florida, USA - APR 30, 2006
No date. Label says French Farmhouse Ale, no mention of a.b.v. or the word amber, but I’m pretty sure that’s what it is. Clear amber with a large, dense, off white head. Not much in the aroma - toasty, caramel malt and a touch of must. Flavor steps it up a bit adding some toffee, anise, light and dark fruits, yeast and some mild hops towards the finish. Smooth, medium body. Nice biere de garde, very drinkable.
