1.5 AROMA 3/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 3/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 3/20330ml bottle,
light orange body with a small white head, tiny yeast floaties. aroma is interesting in that it’s pretty much all carrot juice and vegetables. flavour is pretty much the same and not much can said about it. It’s an interesting beer but not particularly good. A vegetable...I’m not surprised by the result, but who in hell though of using a vegetable for a beer.
2.4 AROMA 4/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 9/20
Limpide, très mince, prévisiblement orangée, très peu de mousse mais effervescence soutenue. Étonnamment, elle sent très peu, et tout ce qu’on y décèle, c’est un peu de sucre et de maïs, comme une blonde de macro. En bouche, elle explose de sucre cuit, et on se demande si les carottes n’ont pas été remplacées par des pêches. C’est une bonne bière de soif, un breuvage d’été sympathique, inoffensif, accessible et malheureusement ennuyant.
2.1 AROMA 4/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 4/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 8/20
Bouteille 341ml. De couleur dorée et voilée. Nez légèrement fruité (agrumes, traces de mangues), très léger de légumes bouillis sucrés avec des notes de houblon floral et de sucre blanc. Moyenne-mince en bouche avec un pétillement moyen. Léger goût de grains de malt avec des notes d’épices (clou de girofle) et de fruits (pommes) lors de l’entrée en bouche suivi d’un moyen goût de légumes bouillis sucrés (carotte?) ainsi que des traces de miel puis finalement une timide amertume de houblon floral vient clore la gorgée. Post-goût légèrement terreux de carotte avec des traces de houblon.
2.4 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 4/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 9/20
Originally rated June 2005. Holy smokes... a vegetable beer ! I like fruit beers, I like spiced beers.... but a vegetable beer ?? Pours a slight cloudy golden-amber colour with a decent foam head. Not much lace. At first, the scent of malt and yeast comes up. After breathing, a mild wax-carrot smells is there, with hints of sweet malt. The mouthfeel and taste is definitly very waxy mixed in with unsweetened coconut. Kind of weird. Very not use to this. I think I will stick to V8 Splash juices.
2.8 AROMA 4/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 4/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20
Bouteille 341 ml. 5%. Couleur jaune-orange. Arôme de céréale, maïs et légume cuits. Fraîche en bouche, un peu de houblon. Sans amertume.
1.7 AROMA 3/10 APPEARANCE 1/5 TASTE 4/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 7/20
341ml bottle. pours a light orange with a fizzy white head that instantly goes away. aroma is weak, some vegetable matter and earth. taste is bready, and odd. boiled vegetables. mouthfeel is light, very carbonated. a pretty boring beer.
1.7 AROMA 3/10 APPEARANCE 2/5 TASTE 3/10 PALATE 1/5 OVERALL 8/20
Bottled sample, tasted with Savvy1982 and rudge75. Pale orange in colour with strong carbonation. Lots of earthy spices on the nose, with suggestions of sweet root vegetable (not specifically carrot), and Belgian yeast. Quite thin in the mouth, with flavors of mint, stale malts, mild dehydrated carrot, and sharp yeast derived spice notes. Strange in a bad fermented too hot and possibly contaminated homebrew sort of way.
2.2 AROMA 4/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 4/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 9/20
Bottle, courtesy of Dave at Half Pints, thanks I guess... Pours cloudy orange, nose is carrot core, spice, soggy grain, yeast. Flavors of mild carrot, spice, simple, vaguely unpleasant. Apparently done just to be different, congrats for that I suppose...
2.5 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 9/20
Bottle from Swoopjones - thanks! Orangey body, thin white head. Nose is honey, spices, some vegetal matter, brown sugar. Flavor is honey malt, soda water, light cocoa.
2.2 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 3/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 8/20
Carrots are definitely a new adjunct for me, and this beer illustrates that they do little in the way of flavoring. Golden brown with a frothy white head. Cooked vegetable aroma with notes of cinnamon and honey. Flavor is pretty bland, just a light honey sweetness coming through. Overly carbonated... but an interesting experience nonetheless. Thanks to swoopjones.
