Saint Amand La Raoul

07/05 0.75 l bottle courtesy of Doggythedog, thanks for sharing! It poured golden body with floating particles and medium sized head above. Biscuit malt and fruity yeasty aroma. Slightly sweet flavor, slightly sour, touch of wood, coriander and other herbal spices. Medium to thinner body with slightly sweet finish. As we all agreed on tasting, a fine beer, no obvious flaws, but so ordinary that it can easily become boring.

Botted 750ml. -Courtesy of Marko (thanks!), shared with heavy and him.
Golden coloured, medium sized white head, dusty metallic nose with hint of spices. Sweetish malty, slight spicy and mild hoppy herbal taste with notes of cardboard near the end. Nothing special here.

0.75l bottle from a Carrefour in Lille. Brought to Croatia when it couldn’t fit in my luggage by Plavec, whom I thank enough! Shared with the Croatian crew. Poured a misty golden body with a fluffy medium sized white head. Soft creamy nose, some metal, dust and flowers. Sweetish, slightly vinuous taste, light herbal hops, a bit corky. Creamy sweetish ale, highly drinkable, without any flaws, but hardly more than "ok".

Bottled. Hazy golden, rich creamy head. Light-medium bodied with some fruitiness. The nose provides grassy hops, later on vailla and raspberries join as well. Lively and well rounded - very well structured and homogenous. I like this!

Yellow-gold with greenish shine throughout. Very thick white head, big bubbles, stable. Grain, pale malt, maybe some candi sugar in the nose. Whilst pouring I had a drain-odour, but that was immediately gone. Taste is quite dry, bitterish with an outspoken pale malt underbuild. There is candi sugar. Retronasal, the bitterness definitely gets hopcharacter, together with a cheese-rind flavour. Quite clean palate, medium-bodied. Some alcohol, sugar and dry; no new aftertaste. Overall a rather strong blonde, not yet triple. Clean tasting. Named after a local folk-poet.
