330 ml. bottle. BBF 06/2016. Light hazy orange, small off-white head. Nose is other grains, orange peel, toffee, sugar, light odd metallic, touch plastic other grains. Taste is odd but somewhat enjoyable caramel plastic, oily toffee, other plastic grains, faint herbal, cheap candy, faint oily Turkish delight, caramel, butterscotch, oily, some butter in a fiting way,… Interesting, not bad, heavy on the oily, candy oily sweet with butterscotch & toffee. Interesting. Grains are buried in the toffee & oily Turkish delight but still noticeable. Kind of digging it.

Bottle sampled. Pours hazy Amber with a light tan head. Aroma of caramel, toffee, light yeast, malt and a little dark fruit. Flavour is moderate sweet and bitter. Light medium bodied with soft carbonation.

Flaska från Saveur-biere. Bärnstensfärgad, lite fint jästsediment, högt vitt skum som skapar fina gardiner. Lite trippelliknande med mycket säd och bröd i smakbilden, värmande alkohol, medelstor sötma, honung, gammaldags karameller, lite kryddig med koriander och curacao, lätt beska. Trevlig

Tasted in 2010 when it was first launched and now revisiting from a bottle recently bought at a Delhaize supermarket. Tightly cobweb lacing, off-white, irregular but dense and well-retaining head over a light orange blonde, lightly hazy but not really amber coloured beer with vivid sparkling. Aroma of cooked white cabbage DMS (which was already the case six years ago), toasted bread, raw celery, dry red apple, moldy orange peel, caramel, unripe pear, dough, some freshly cut grass and a hint of garden weeds. Fruity onset but in a very clean, ’restrained’ kind of way, fairly neutral even with low sweetness and a bit of sourishness, well-carbonated and a bit minerally but not overcarbonated, mild caramelly and nutty maltiness, a bit toasted and bittering, with herbal and grassy hops growing in intensity and ending in a fairly bittering, drying, herbal finish with retronasal floral and weedy aromas; a thin trace of nutty malt bittersweetness peeps through but so does a certain ’cooked cabbage’ flavor. I remember - and have looked this up in notes dating back to 2010 - that I found this beer not very agreeable when it first hit the market due to this ’cooked vegetable’ quality and sadly, after six years, I have to establish that nothing really changed. I hate DMS and this one has a lot of it - and not enough other flavors to counter it. I still kind of like the fact that Delhaize offers beers from smaller breweries / beer companies these days, though...

Clear amber with big white head. Caramel, very fruity (quite like cider, berries, some orange), light bitter roasted touch. Medium sweet with light bitter finish. Nice carbonation. Decent stuff.

Bottle share at the watford tasting thanks to Matteo. Name sounds like the manufactureer of chemical toilets. Dregs pour, murky brown amber, with a brown off white head. Aroma is fruity, slight lemon zest and yeasty. Flavour is yeasty, lemon, meaty, Belgian yeast. High carbonation and slightly thin.

Bottle at Watford tasting, thanks to Matteo. Enticing name... It pours deep amber with a medium beige head. The nose is earthy, stewed orange, sherbet, tangerine, candy and sponge cake. The taste is wood, orange, tangy, tangerine, sherbet, caramel, light alcohol and some bitterness with a dry finish. Medium body and moderate carbonation. Doesn’t quite live to the name. Not a whole lot to it, but decent enough.

Bottle from Au Grain d’Orge, Crissier
Hazy copper-amber color, with generous fluffy head. Light aroma of malt, coriander, fruits and rubber. Good body strength, some malt flavor, some spiciness from the yeast, light caramel; it has some fermentation byproducts, mainly evident in the rubber presence; moderate residual sweetness; ordinary bitterness.
Simple.
