Bière ambrée et voilée avec un joli col de mousse. Le nez est un peu citronné et caramélisé. En bouche, les épices se mettent de la partie pour soutenir la danse du caramel. Le sirop d’érable, mais un agréable sucre résiduel demeure néanmoins pour clore le spectacle. Un peu d’alcool en finale.

Thx. to Martinus for sharing this one // 75 cl. swing-top bottle sampled @ Tim’s De Molen & assorted beers tasting // brewed with maple syrup // picked up a week ago by Tinus but regardless this bottle was still BBF 19 May 2012 // lovely big gusher, pretty fountain on the table // looks like a fountain, nice // amber with a brief off-white head // smell is bread, leaves, light syrup, yeasty, spices and caramel // taste is sweetish, caramel, bread, syrup, way too much carb., berries, BE-style yeast, spices, grains, light signs of age // meh, I hear that it cost a pretty penny // not worth that, that for sure

Amber colour, white head. Aroma of maple syrup, malts, slight sour note, spices, lots of bubble gum and caramel. Rather sweet flavour, caramel, paper, feeling quite old. Finish sweet, maple syrup, cardboard.
Checking the date: best before May 2012. Bought at a Lille branch of the chain only a week ago. That aint nice.
(From 33cL bottle shared at the DMT @ Tim’s living, Gent)

UPDATED: JAN 7, 2013 30/XII/12 - 75cl bottle @ home: De Molen & assorted beers tasting - BB: 19/V/12 yet only bought one week before the tasting by Martinus in the Lille shop of 3 Brasseurs (2012-1414) Thanks to Martinus for sharing the bottle!

Gusher alert! Clear dark orange beer, huge yellow head, pretty stable, bit adhesive, quite some chunks floating around. Aroma: citrus, very frassy, herbal, bit sugary, sweet, spices, dusty, cardboard. MF: lots of carbon, medium body. Taste: bitter start, grains, some citrus, bit spicy, sourish, cardboard, bitter unpleasantness. Aftertaste: caramel, spices, dry, cardboard and some chocolate. Bleuh.

75cl bottle, shared with 77ships, Martinus and Tderoeck. Thanks Tinus. BB 19-5-2012. Huge gusher. Cuivrée, col crémeux beige. Arôme présente une fine note d’érable, bouquet un peu vieille levure avec un malt cara léger. Palais présente en effet des notes d’érable-noisette est le tout s’arrête bien là gardant ce profil très français, le tout étant trop effervescent, terreux avec des notes de carton. Au final, seul l’érable ajoute qcq chose d’intéressant à cette bière et un clair manque de finition.

swing top bottle 330ml. -from brewpub Reims. Darker amber coloured, medium to big sized off- white head, (dried) fruity spicy nose. Sweet malty, moderate spicy and hint of alcohol with rather fruity finish. Pretty sweet overall but without any trace of maple syrup.

on tap at festibiere quebec, qc. clear golden-orange with a very nice off-white head, good retention and lacing. grainy, peppery, lightly toasted malts, very light maple in the background. some sweetness but there’s no cloying maple at all. yeasty. very. lively, light body, decent dry herbal finish. underrated.

À Brossard. Une bière plutôt orangée et sa mousse belge. Au nez, des grains et des houblons herbeux qui étouffent les notes douces du sirop d’érable. Au goût, des pointes de levure sauvage avec des grains et une touche d’herbes mouillées. Un fond d’eau d’érable. Une bouche qui imite les bières belges. Un corps effervescent et sa texture chamboulée. Une finale pleine de levure et touchée par une fausse amertume. 11.45$ la bouteille de 75 cl. Pas fameux.

An amber Belgian with a thick mocha head. In aroma, a grainy malt with light maple wood notes, grassy notes. In mouth, a smooth grassy grainy malt with grassy qualities, light maple notes, a bit grainy and cloying. On tap at Festibiere de Gatineau, May 26 2012.

Swingtop bottle from the brewpub in Lille
Cloudy amber color; high carbonation, generous head. Some aroma of vegetables, spicy maybe. Common Ale with some vegetables touch, and common bitterness too. Imprecise.
