(Bottle 75 cl) The colour of acacia honey Tina claims, adding that she’s got a bracelet the same colour. Well, so be it: this is acacia honey coloured. Tall bubbly and very full head. Loads of floating impurities. Sweetish with pronounced notes of yeast and a solid hoppiness to level things out. Produced by the "méthode champenoise". 190305

Cloudy orange color; nice head, persistent, and lace. First impression in the aroma is the yeast; then the hop, and a delicate fruitness (oranges, apricots…). Excellent Strong Ale, with a good malt, and the bitterness is hitting immediately (a real Brut ;o), turning at the end to an almond kernels bitterness; some bitter orange peel. The bitterness is maybe too strong, but this original beer is really interesting.

A clear yellow beer with a beutiful head. The aroma is lovely; sweet, citrus, nuts, and peach. The flavor is very dry, fresh, and very carbonated. It has some notes of caramel and a dry hoppy yet sweet aftertaste, that lingers for a long time.

I just gotta say: i love those belgians! Clear golden color, with a lot of small particles floating around. Aroma is triple-like spicy, cheesy. Sweet and spicy taste, champagne yeasty and apple notes. Only slightly alcoholic palate, but hardly noticeable, and who cares after finally being back to the real beers!

Gushing to overflowing broken-white head, champenoise-like, but much more stable than any natural sparkling wine. Orange beer with champenoise pearling. Nose of alcohol, brandy-ish. Very outspoken nose of light-brown sugar 'cassonade', some liquorice. Also a hint of old pine-wood. Bitter taste - not hoppy, but spicey, as orange peel or kumquat. Retronasal more beery taste, even a hint of hops - and lots of liquorice. Very dry - mission accomplished. But the pale-brown sugar taste ruins quite a bit. Alcohol-burn and peppery. I've ambiguous feelings about this one. It is a really new beer. I think it is a very good example of typical Belgian brewing. But they might have stopped before the liquorice and cassonade...

Glowing pale, slight haze, abundant foam; toasty, peppery, champagne-like aroma (and no I''m not being fanciful); dry, white peppery body, slight acid, reasonable potency is belied by unique complexity. The Malheur yeast likes the methode champagnoise. Truth is, so do I.

Pale orange and hazy with rich creamy head. Big apricot aroma. Full bodied, sparkling mouthfeel (yes, champagne like). Sweet and bitter finish.
