with Goji berries (aka "Wolfberries").…

33 cl. bottle sampled @ ZBF 2012 // (a) ridiculously messed-up sci-fi neon, bright orange with a white head // (s) aroma is soft with slight yeast, spices & candy-like fruitiness // (t) too cold upfront, candy berries upfront (but it is very fake, I don’t feel like I am getting much is any goji), there is way more caned peaches in here than any berries, yeast, spices, too cold, mellow, sugar, candy fruitiness, // (b) served too cold, bland, almost like standard pale lager with some syrup sweetness, either way, I do feel a bit cheated out of goji berries even I have no freaking clue as to how they taste like, bland perhaps?

6/I/2012 - 33cl bottle @ home - BB: 12/9/13 (2012-12)
Bit cloudy pale orange to yellow beer, small sediment floating around, small white head, unstable, little adhesive. Aroma: pretty faint, sweet, canned peaches on syrup, maraschino cherries. MF: ok carbon, medium body. Taste: pretty fruity, maraschino cherries, sweet, sugary, some grapefruit. Aftertaste: some citrus, peaches, slightly bitter ending on the back of the tongue. When adding more yeast/sediment to the beer, it gets more fruity, with even a touch of lychee.

Off-white, small head, gone in seconds. Hazed orange beer. Sweetish-fruity nose, berries (as to which...?), suggesting fruitacids. Fruity-floral. Hints at citrus, but more sweet than sour. End of bottle, containing the yeast, gets markedly more fruity, and slightly sweeter. Too shy, fruit ought to explode more. Definitely refreshing, quite carbonated, light body (acidthinning?). OK, but nowhere great.

33cl bottle. Dorée, col blanc. Arôme de levure belge qui domine un peu avec le profile de baies de Goji laissant des notes fruitées. En bouche, levure et houblon citronné, le tout ayant une pointe de fruit acidulés et sec de baies de Goji. Seule fois que j’ai pu les gouter étant avec ne bière de Cigar City au Goji Berries. Le palais est assez fiable offrant un léger picotement de carbonation qui se dissipe assez vite laissant un aspect pétillant faible. Le tout se rapproche du raisin offrant à la fois ce profile aigre-doux. Pas mauvais, mais le côté de baie reste trop en retrait.
