33cl bottle. Pours blonde with creamy white head. Aroma is sugary and malty, taste is filled grains, light fruits and sugary , malts. Wasn’t too impressed by it. Would try another one to get more notes.

[Sampled in 2004.] This was a good surprise reminding me of the holidays in France (although it was bought in Odense). Nice and wellbalanced with notes of spices, fruits, hops and sweetness in balance, smoothy and quencing.

Bottle. Pours a clear golden bubbly golden with a small lacing white head. Aroma has loads of exotic fruits, oranges, melons, cherries, raspberries and some wheat. Sweet flavour with a sugary sweet edge - a little honey. Nice in the summer heat.

bottle from uto. This one has been sitting on the shelf for a few months - only a drunken stuper has pulled it down. After having the Ch’ti ambree earlier this evening, I notice a strong resemblance. Opaque amber w/ white head. Spotty lace. Aroma of orange, spice and wheat. Sort of smells like refried beans. Taste is way too sweet - orange, wheat, honey and marmalade. Medium bodied - slightly syrupy. Not a great follow up to the rest of the evening, but it is growing on me.
