Large bottle bought in Paris in Dec. 2006, but as I couldn’t find any info about it or who made it, left un-posted. It says it contains rosehips (gratte-cul), also seems like it might have a bit of wheat in it. Dark golden color, orange tint. Very cloudy, good head. Aroma of coriander and other spices, decent malt with yeast. A bit of citrus as well. Flavor is slightly sweet with a sour, citrus edge as well. Lots of coriander. I cannot taste the rosehips per se, although they might be adding the citrus flavor. High carbonation, medium body. Finish is slightly sour, spicy, malty. Not a lot of hops, although the balance is altogether good. Like a good Belgian spiced ale. Very nice.

Yersterday @ home from bottle (bought @ Carrefour at Argeton, France) Hazy darkgolden to orange color. Aroma fruits, bit hops. Medium body. Taste very fruity, sweet, malts, good hops, and bitter touch. Not a top beer, but pleasant to drink. I like more the "Blanche" from this 3 new beers.
