COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTION
Confidence in the glass reveals a pale yellow slightly disturbed that covers a white foam and airy. This admission escape the smell of lemon fruit and cereal. We then discovered a powerful entry in the mouth, which has a malty bitterness tickle the tongue. Flavors of malt and hops come together while the purple is slowly feeling, which is not surprising, because the violet tea into its composition. Aroma which is not invasive, but provides a slight coolness to this strong beer. The finish is relatively smooth with flavors of violets that persist after the end of the glass. Confidence dévoile dans le verre une robe jaune pâle légèrement troublée qui se couvre d’une mousse blanche et aérée. De cet aveu s’échappent des odeurs fruitées de citron et de céréales. On découvre ensuite une entrée en bouche puissante, où une amertume maltée vient titiller la langue. Des saveurs de malt et de houblon se rencontrent tandis que la violette se fait doucement ressentir,ce qui n’a rien d’étonnant, car du thé à la violette entre dans sa composition. Un arôme qui n’a rien d’envahissant, mais qui apporte une légère fraîcheur à cette bière forte. La fin de bouche est relativement douce avec des saveurs de violette qui perdurent après la fin du verre.

Pawola22 (3110) - Chicago, Illinois, USA - MAY 22, 2013
33cl bottle from Brune Rousse Houblon in Nice, France. Pours a clear, pale yellow colored body with a finger-width, creamy and frothy, white head that dissipates slowly and leaves a nice lacing. Aroma is very floral and fruity with a good amount of vinous white grapes, some yeasty spice, an herbal note, and some lemony citrus notes. Flavor is similar. Vinous white grapes and flowers up front before a light, grainy malt sweetness comes in to balance. A slight herbal note, some yeast, and a bit of a lemony citrus before this finishes dry, vinous and somewhat tart, lightly spiced, and a bit flowery. Fairly lengthy aftertaste following a medium body and a soft, moderate carbonation. Overall, a very unique, tweener type of trippel. Fairly floral and vinous, but there is still some spicy yeast characteristics in here. Solid beer.

erickok (2298) - Tours, FRANCE - APR 23, 2013
An almost clear, pale body with fizzy carbonation and disintegrating head. Herbal hops make a medicinal and tea like aroma that doesn’t really suit me, but more so the body feels very thin, because of the simple malts used. Taste is better, still not very full bit with a refreshing palate and good own character. Ending is somewhat sweet and too simple, but I still like the appeal, even with its light palate. For those who like flowery triples, this is great. For me, it’s a pleasant surprise that I still would won’t buy again soon. (33cl bottle from Saveur Bière)

humlelala (692) - DENMARK - FEB 1, 2013
(33 cl bottle from Saveur Biere; Lot 442; BBD: April 2014) Pours an unclear pale, yellow with floaties and a big, white head. Good retention and lace. Aroma is somewhat yeasty and citrusy with a hint of pepper. No sign of the violet tea unfortunately. Medium body, oily texture, medium carbonation and a short and spicy finish. Taste resembles a tripel although with no trace of lemon or the tea promised. Aroma and taste are decent but the overall impression is disappointing given the appearance and the lack of the interesting adjunct.

rand (1000) - SWITZERLAND - JAN 12, 2013
Bouteille 33 cl de Brune-Rousse-Houblon - Nice (F). Blonde pâle à belle mousse blanche et pétillement champagnisé. Nez acidulé et fruité, floral, houblon, bonbon acidulé. La bouche est pareille, acidulée, même sûrette avec des notes de bonbon, pomme verte, fleur, fruité et amertume. Très frais mais étrange avec la violette connue pour court-circuiter l’odorat !

Quack-Duck (6811) - Down South, GERMANY - SEP 1, 2012

La confidence est une bière très abordable par son gout subtile et léger. Cette blonde est très agréable avec ses notes florales et fruitées.

JEK69 (360) - FRANCE - MAY 24, 2012
This beer is supposed to be brewed with violet aromatised tea. Sorry but I didn’t get this in nose nor in mouth. It smells more freshly crusjed grapes and Weizenbier flavours than violet. Mouth is unbalanced, too acid, witbeer like palate with a short fruity finish. Aromatic and palate profile would suit well with a Summertime kind of beer. But this is a 8% ABV beer. Too bad. Not for me !
