Olivier_MTL (712), Montréal, Quebec, Canada Jan 7, 2006 Couleur dorée pale, aucune mousse. Faible caractère de pomme verte, de citron et de brettanomyces rapidement dominé par le sucre. Faible acidité en bouche, finale mi-sèche, faible carbonatation. Tout de même rafraîchissant. En fût, le laboureur, Bruxelles, Décembre 2005.
Pyobon (170), Sydney, Australia Sep 30, 2008 Draught. Clear amber, no head. Very distinctive cidery, vinegary, vinous aroma. A little off-putting for a beer on initial contact. Medium body with very little carbonation. The flavour has a wonderful balance of sweetness and the cidery, almost vinegary, tartness. It is also fruity (oranges, grapefruit, cherries) but there is no bitterness. It’s a very unusual beer and perhaps an acquired taste. It’s compex and interesting, but very quaffable.
Theis (2212), Frederiksberg, Denmark Apr 14, 2008 Draught at La Becasse - served in a ceramic jar. Clear amber - no head. Brown sugar, syrup, sweetness, light sweetness, berries, light acid/tar. OK !!! daniele (830), Italy Mar 3, 2008 servito nella brocca piatto colore dorato note dolci acido in bocca beverino non astringente piuttosto dolce JoeinUccle (689), Brussels, Belgium Dec 5, 2007 A simple, quaffable faro that barely avoids excessive sweetness. Half the fun is visiting this back-alley pub to pour the stuff from your clay pitcher into a tumbler. Maybe it’s not the stuff of connoisseurs, but in a place like this you can understand how it was once a local working man’s drink. Pours a reddish-amber with zero head. Sweet, coppery nose. Medium sweetness and light sourness, with fruity notes that resemble cider or apple tea. A bit wet, with low carbonation. Refreshing and fun to drink. Enjoyit (1108), Vadum, Denmark Aug 27, 2007 Clay pitcher at La Becasse. Amber of colo - no head. An aroma with hints of sweet, sour notes and wet dog. A flavor with sweet notes, sour notes - not to much, bitter and dry finish. Taste like æblejuice made of sour apples.
