3.7 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 16/20 sebletitje (4413) - Enghien, BELGIUM - JUN 26, 2011
Draft @ Moeder Lambic.
Ambrée, col épais beige.
Arôme procure au départ une note de grains de moutarde suivi ensuite par des agrumes; citron ainsi que un profile houblonné et côté ferme basse court.
En bouche, une bonne surprise, profile malté pale et cara avec un léger aspect grillé, le tout accompagné d’une note houblonnée qui rajoute une touche de citron avec ce petit côté levure belge. Seul point négatif, sur la fin la bière gagne ce côté un peu lager qui gâche un peu le plaisir du début. Original car cette bière change en fonction de sa température et laisse entrevoir un profile différent selon l’étape de dégustation.

Bottle at Churchkey. Cloudy brown, massive tan head, solid lacing. Aroma of malt-o-meal. Taste is very malty, pure cereal with oatmeal and brown soda bread. Nice.

The beer is light murky gold with a nice white head.
The aroma is sweet hops.
The taste is very nice, its like drinking a champagne beer, lots of sweetness and carbonation.

Bottled 250ml. -Courtesy of and shared with Marko (thanks!)
Blue label as Blonde?! Clear amber coloured, small to medium sized off-white head, lively carbonation, malty caramel nose. Sweet malty, fruity and slight spicy with notes of caramel and pleasant hoppy finish. Nice surprise indeed. 6.5%

Bottle thanks to jrob21 which I shared at the March BA Tasting. Pours a clear amber with an off-white head. Floaties noticeable. Nose is of funk and barnyard. Taste is the same funk and barnyard. Somewhat like a lager in the taste. Mouthfeel is medium. Not my cup of tea. Did not like much.

La Bavaisienne (blue label), 0.25l, 6.5%, claims to be Blonde, it obviously isn’t. Dark amber body with a white head. Malty nose, caramel, orange, honey... whoa, subtle, sublime, lovely! Flowery honeyish sweet maltiness, balanced by a dry peppery hopiness. Caramel pops up but doesn’t stick around for long. Rosemary again? Oooh yeah, this owns.
2.7 AROMA 3/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20 crossovert (2791) - Wisconsin, USA - MAR 15, 2011
750 ml green blue foiled bottle
It pours a copper honey color with a large foamy off-white head. There are plenty of yeasty floaties to be seen. The head stiks nicely and recedes to some decent lacing.
It is skunked unfortunately. Reminds me of a Euro Pale Lager in the smell, skunky with some caramel.
The flavor is better though it is still a bit skunked. It has a nice caramel toffee flavor mixed with some basic malts. It is a basic amber beer.
I have to try it fresher/non light struck next time, hard when they insist on the green bottle.
Serving type: bottle
