Head: beige, medium, sparkling, zero retention. Colour: amber, clear.
Aroma: wild yeast/old cheese-like sharpness, some uber-sweet dried fruit like fig, vinous and some alcohol too. Taste: quite sweet, sweet dried fruit, some alcoholic/phenolic spiciness, but no actual ethanol detected. Still you can feel its warming effect.
Whether it’s a belgian style or not - I don’t know, but certainly has that alcoholic phenolic character. In the end, it’s a quite sweet, desert beer. Cool looking for special occasions.

Fra flaske på Cardinaltreff juni-11: stor enighet om at dette var merkelige greier. Lys gylden med højt, højt skum. Ufrisk aroma av (belgisk) gjær, litt krydder og gammel marmelade, I tillegg er alkoholduften tydelig. Samme ufriske karakter på smaken. Fra ny flaske på Cardinaltreff okt-13: dette var meget interessant ettersom flasken er fra samme parti som det vi prøvde for over to år siden. Lagringen har gjort underverker, og den fremstår nå med sin varme sødme og krydder/gjørsmak og -aroma nærmest som en belgisk (hvete)trippel, om noe slikt finnes. Oppfra 2.5 til 3.5.

Clear amber beer, good white head, short lived. Light fruit salad nose. Light frothy palate, carbonated nibble. Creamy malt, fruit salad sweets and a trace of sherbet. The finish is more creamy malt with a trace of tangy citrus.

Znakomicie wyglądające piwo. w butelce szampanowej, z korkiem, który hucznie wystrzeliwuje. Piwo w pokalu wygląda super. Spora piana, lecz szkoda że szybko opada. W smaku alkochol nie dominuje palącą mocą lecz przyjemnie rozgrzewa. W smaku coś pomiędzy biere de garde, a belgijskim Blonde ale.

Bottle shared at Weihenstephaner, Freising - 27/11/11. Served by waiter from a champagne bucket into fluted glass. Hazy golden amber with a bubbly white head. Sweet malts and citrus on the nose. Citrus, honey and yeast in the taste, champagne like feel of lively carbonation. Alcohol is well disguised, sweet dry finish.
