3.2 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20
Brown color, darker than any ESB I had. Subtle maple aroma and maple taffy dominant notes. Pretty sweet maltiness but the herbal hoppiness makes this beer balanced and enjoyable. I’ll buy some more...
2 AROMA 4/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 3/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 6/20
473ml can. This was my 2nd beer from Le Corsaire (in the same session) and it will definitely be my last. It was surely infected as it tasted way too sour (and it isn’t supposed to as per the previous reviews). This is unacceptable, they should’ve recalled this batch! Faint caramel and cereal aromas were perceptible but overpowered by some odor...I can’t really identify it but it’s as if it smelled what it tasted...badly sour. I guess if you still want to try it out, you better try the tap version as people who tried it somehow seem to give a better rating...

A: Light Caramel aroma with lots of diacetyl and a bit of spicy side.
v: orange ruby with off white persistent head
F: Light sourness with diacetyl note. Caramel is present with a bit of apple flavor. These symptom shows for Pedioccocus.
M: Light sourness with med light body.
O: Caramel beer with a potential infection of pedioccocus due to acidity and apple flavor. Back ground is promissing although.
