Poures a cloudy amber with a short lasting head. Smells like it has been aged in wood (I don’t think it has been though), giving the beer a complex nose. Toffee, carmel, apples, cherries and alcohol for flavors. Lasting alcohol warmth at the finish. Medium bodied, but thins out at the end. The rabbid looking dog on the label is also a kick. Overall an interesting amber, more depth than it’s american counter part.

Aug 2, 2008 Sampled at Beaumont Market in Portland, OR--Poured a thin amber body with a small beige head. Malty mild and fruity. Unique, but hey, that’s the French.

May 16, 2008 bottle. Clear amber colour, tiny head, fery fruity nose with hints of apples. Slightly malty, flavours of apple and apricot, very fruity. Overall dry and hoppy, rather light-bodied for 8% ABV.

May 14, 2008 This amber ale poured with a tiny off-white head and a strange unidentifiable aroma. There is a malty flavor with an herbal apricot undertone. Strange but pretty good.

Mar 1, 2008 Beer poured amber with only a very slight haze. Aroma has some abricot to it most prominately. Otherwise it smells malty and sweetly fruity. Flavor is maltiness, similar malt accenting yeast character to some malty bitters I had in england. The beer really doesn’t show its strength for being 8%. Level of carbonation is really low and slightly too soft making the malt character in the finish overwhelming and slightly undigestable. Finish is not good, but the beer isn’t altogether awful.
