2.9 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 11/20
21/I/2012 on tap @ La Capsule (Lille) - BB: n/a (2012-68)
Clear orange to amer beer, small off-white head, unstable, little adhesive. Aroma: very fruity, overripe fruits, malts and grains, some orange marmalade, little sour (infected?), band-aid as well. MF: too much carbon, full body. Taste: citrus, band-aid (like glue or something), bit sour, malts, ripe fruits (banana). Aftertaste: still the band-aid thing, weird. Bitter and some spices, dry ending.
2.6 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 10/20
Pale coppery beer with Grünstich; good yellowish head, fed by lively carbonation. Sharpish greenery nose, smelling like unfinished fermentation, all kinds of off-aromas. Caramelly flavour, but all the above remarks for the nose remain. Finish is slightly sweet, giving it something fruity, with a faint overripe bananaester and more vegetable matter, as well as a peppery feel. Spritzy, near fizzy carbonation, sharp, astringent MF. Light to medium bodied with some alcoholburn. If Millevertus brewed this, they ought to be ashamed. If it hails really from France, well...

33cl bottle; Cloudy, bright orange to amber coloured hue with a thick and dense off-white foamy head. Moderately sweet and spicy yeasty malty aroma with an ethereally touch of (a bit soapy) lavender and hops. Sweet-bitter flavour, full bodied with a smooth and well-matured carbonation. Slightly sugary (cara-)malty base with a light fruity touch and spicy notes; sweet and slightly bitter hoppy, also quite alcoholic finish. Likeable although it lacks balance 31.VIII.09
