Aug 11, 2004 Bottle. After the delights of yesterdays Gayant La Goudale this has come as a huge disappointment. Metallic and cardboardy. Thin and unpleasant mouthfeel. I had somehow got the impression that this had the reputation of being a decent beer. I must have confused it with something else. This just tasted like a stale beer. Rather unpleasant. Certainly way below average - almost undrinkable. Best before date is next year. This is obviously a beer to drink as fresh as possible.

Aug 7, 2004 Hmmm, some nuttiness, nice malt and that typical BdG hop caramelly twang. But thin, watery in texture. Not "country" enough if that makes sense.

Aug 6, 2004 Golden with nice white head. Fruity and sweet with notes of bread, vanilla and alcohol. Pleasent mouthfeel.

Jul 29, 2004 Hazy straw colored with average carbonation for the style & note well retentive, light lacing. The aroma is funky with dusty barn, some caramelized wort and aged earthy hops. The flavor has a light sweetness without any of the gueuze like smells. A scosh of caramel & bread; molasses. Finishes balanced, not too complex.

Jul 22, 2004 Notes of pears, apple and alcohol in the nose; flavor is oaky, sour, and perfumey, and includes some medicine/band-aid; slightly sour. Definitly different. Thanks Sham & Bück Dich!

Jul 21, 2004 Amber gold pour with a light film of head and very nice lacing. Funky aromas, slightly sour. Musky and cobwebby. Lemons and other citrus. Flavor is fruity and sour. Citrus hops arise. Acidic. Some spices. Dry dusty palate that finishes sour

Jun 30, 2004 Not as bad as expected, considering the ratings. A strange beer, that seemed much closer to a pilsner than most biere de gardes I’ve had in the past. Not a great example of the style, but a decent enough brew overall.

Jun 13, 2004 Pours golden orange with a small white head. Aroma is fruity and spicy with some notes of honey. Some lighter floral notes. Taste is spice, maybe cinnamon with some brown sugar, flowers and more honey. Light hops and yeast as well. Mouthfeel is duly carbonated as this has more of the champagne like mouthfeel, although a bit more dense. Finish is nice and spiced with some hop character. Nice beer. Apparently from some of the other ratings, I got a good bottle!
