Bottle (341ml). Clear bright copper, average creamy diminishing off-white head. What the HELL is that aroma? pungent, sweet, medicinal, sort of herbal - "smells like toilet cake" - ugh. Taste follows - herbal, like cough medicine - don’t like it - sharp, weird. Light body, sharp carbonation, bizarre medicinal aftertaste. Nominally better than the regular gluten-free, but this IS still shit.

2009-02-19. Nice dark amber-brown body with a small quick tan head. (3+) Painful aroma is harsh and leaves a chemical impression like rancid play-doh. More pleasant florals and an odd herbal character. Messed up muted over ripe melons, actually improves somewhat as it warms up, maybe? Flavour is marginally better, similar strange melange of weird fruit, light tart notes, tangy malt, mixed fruits. Average to thin palate. Poor. Bottle shared by some c*nt.

Bottle (12oz) shared with HogTownHarry, garthicus, GregClow, jerc & mabel -- c/o GregClow. Pours a clear orange-amber with an average size diminishing off-white head. Aroma and flavour: Wha’!? Orange drink mixed with cleaning products and sugar?! Guh?! Crap.

Bouteille de 341 ml achetée chez La Barik (Trois-Rivières, QC). Arôme: Légère odeur de caramel fruité. Apparence: La couleur est ambrée rougeâtre avec une très faible densité de bulle. Présence d’un mince col mousseux et d’une fine dentelle sur le verre. Saveur: Goût de caramel légèrement fruité avec une pointe de noix. Longue durée de l’arrière goût. Palette: Le corps est moyen avec une texture huileuse. Moyenne effervescence en bouche. Arrière goût fruité. (Rating #2146)

[2011-20090219] 341mL bottle. Cherry cough syrup aroma with sweet grass, mild minty floral notes and over-ripened cantaloupe. Clear, golden amber body with a quick foamy off-white head. Initially sweet cherry syrup and fruity melon flavour with floral pineapple (without the snap). Medium body. Poor.
Overheard: "Is that yours, cxnty?" -- asking who brought the bottle

Appearance: Amber ruby(?) small white head. Aroma: Smells like a toilet block. Flavour: Bitter malt, again - toilet block. Thank Christ I don’t have coeliac disease.
