Cuvée d'Oscar

Bottle 0.375l, thanks to Pade. BBE 16042015. Colour is light brown with small white head. Aromas and flavours: Fruits, berries, sourness, yeast, grain and some sweetness. Quite weird.

Bottled. Amber colour, mediumsized off-white head. Aroma is fruity, floral, mild wooden notes as well as some sweaty socks. Flavour is fruity, mild yeasty notes, wheat and a bunch of nectar. Sweet alcohol in the finish as well.

27.11.13 Bottle 375ml Saveur. Deep amber color, good beige head. Strong Nelson Sauvin aroma: kiwi, lychee, passion fruit, kind of smokey hints. Medium-bodied. Citrusy front, then sweet tropical fruity Nelson Sauvin flavor. Some backing alcohol and light funky tartness. Good beer, although not so trendy anymore.

Pours a warm brown tone. Very cloudy, and I was actually pretty gentle with the pour, so I assume it’s the wheat. Big light khaki head. Dissipates fairly quickly leaving some lacing. The aroma is big on tropical fruit, grapey Nelson Sauvin and earthy Belgian flavors. It’s all a bit milder than I’d like, though. I wonder if this beer would be better fresh as can be. The taste has a lot of doughy, toasty malt. Very bread. Nice Nelson fruitiness, sweet and rich. Gets fairly medicinal and a bit plasticky as it warms. Lots of flavors that don’t quite mesh. Mouthfeel is full and a bit fizzy. I liked this beer for a brief time as it warmed but it went from too mild to too medicinal quickly. It needs a lot more hop character and less funny yeast notes.

A coppery beer with a big, dense and blond head. The nose of fruits, sweet strawberrymarshmellows, some tropical fruits and black currants, hint of yeasty sourness. Interesting and fresh aroma. Taste of fruits, wheat and tartness, some spices and black currants. Medium bodied, quite easy to drink. Fruifull wheat beer, quite nice.

Notes from last night. Aroma has light chocolate with a lot of year character but the year character is not exactly clean. Medium low medicinal and plastic notes. Some Clive and coriander with light banana and bubblegum esters. Pours a fairly cloudy and murky brown with a big light tan head. Head has fairly good retention and moderately high lacing. Flavor is similar to some with light chocolate and moderate phenolics. More clove and coriander but still a light plastic note. Light roost in finish along with chocolate. Not much hop character but moderate bitterness. Esters are fairly muted as is the wheat. Mouthfeel is medium bodied with medium carbonation. Medium low astringency with medium alcohol warmth. While intriguing, this is not a great beer. The year character dominates but mostly with phenolics, and the phenolics are not even super clean. The hop Chaucer is pretty much non existent. I’m not sure the dark wheat works with the yeast characteristics.

Pours dark reddish brown with a small white head. Aroma of dark ripe fruits, hints of berries, some exotic notes and hints of spices. Taste is quite untypical with notes of dry ripe fruits, berries, some exotic notes, lemon, spices and floral notes. Finish is wheaty, sourish, fruity and hoppy with some notes of dry ripe fruits and berries. Not your typical wheat ale.

Aroma is very odd with floral notes, flour, berry juice concentrate and metal. Flavour has berry juice concentrate, some spices and floral notes. Also hints of alcohol comes through with some sips. Very weird, even more weird than the other two Craig Allan beers.

Keg at Le Fine Mousse, Paris, 11th June 2013. Pours dark brown, smell is appealing, the taste is full, lots going on and interesting. Very good beer, like the brewer. Decent
