3.1 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20
Sampled at an ESBLS tasting. This pours a clear light copper. A small off white head. This is fairly sweet with light fruit, especially apples. A sour finish. Everything is light. It could use more happening but nothing is offensive.
3.6 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 15/20
(bottle) Labeled as La Botteresse Blonde. A cloudy yellow-amber with a small, creamy white head. A nice aroma: funky yeast, some sort of ripe dark fruit (plum?), notes of banana, very earthy, coriander. Medium bodied, moderate to high carbonation. Moderately sweet flavor, moderately acidic, and mildly bitter. Malt; fruity with apple, lemon/orange; moderately spiced; kind of zesty. Kind of interesting; either something in the flavor I can’t place, or it’s just an interesting combination/balance.
2.5 AROMA 4/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 9/20
11.2 oz bottle at Hopleaf...The beer pours a very dark gold/copper with two fingers of white head. Ok retention, ok lacing...The aroma is SUPER herbal, tons of spices, eucalyptus, weird not enticing. Almost smells like lotion...Taste is much lighter than the aroma thankfully...Totally unique flavor but not at all good or drinkable.
