3.2 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 11/20 jookos (829) - Helsinki, FINLAND - JUN 4, 2013
Bottle .75, 2013. Golden, clear when poured carefully. Pale malts, yeasty tones, hay. Very malty. Body is full, smooth, some oilyness. Spiced malts, a bit of alcohol. Meadowy flowers, grass. Goes down pretty easy, I guess that means it’s ok/good.
3.3 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 13/20 DrSilverworm (2968) - Cincinnati, Ohio, USA - MAY 22, 2013
750ml bottle, shared by Jay. Labeled "Amber Ale Sur Lie", 8.3% ABV. Code on back is "17 20". Mostly clear orange amber color. Many fine particles in the body make it appear slightly hazy. Thin white head. Only a couple loose bits of lace. Medium to bigger body. Softer carbonation. More dry finish. Kind of a nice belgian type yeast profile, more so than in the Gavroche biere de garde I just sampled before this. Light spice, some bready malt. Lightly spicy taste, light bitter. Alcohol is a tiny bit noticeable in the finish, a little heat here... I didn’t notice any at all in the Gavroche. Another solid biere de garde, though.

En trevlig välbalanserad Biére De garde. Sticker inte ut men är i mitt tycke lagom söt, lagom besk med en trevlig eftersmak. Smörkola och frukt.
3.2 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 13/20 brenn79 (1224) - Idaho, USA - APR 9, 2013
750 ml. corked and uniquely clamped bottle- Pours slightly hazy golden with a one finger head that reduces, nice lace. Aroma is malt, dirty malt, very European aroma. The taste is better than the aroma, yeasty, but very European again, kind of basic. This is their grande reserve? Not horrible, but basic.
2.9 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 4/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 12/20 dandeman (230) - Gatineau, Quebec, CANADA - FEB 15, 2013
Tasted in February 2012.
Aroma: Strong banana accents. That’s it
Appearance: Gold amber, very clear, average rocky head, average lasting.
Taste: Attack is warm and round, leaving a strong acidity like a lambic or a Gueuse. Very unpleasant cardboard aftertaste. Might be a bad bottle. But still I’m not a great fan of that type of beer.
