75cl, courtesy of Rémi. Thanks for bringing this from Switzerland. Cuivrée, fine beige. Arôme est fruité avec un léger rappel de poudre de gingembre sans être trop surfait. On note de suite ce côté bien Hitachino pour un bouquet rappelant bien la Hitachino Ginger. Au gingembre s’ajoute un beau nez houblonné fruité. En bouche, houblonné japonais, peut être du Sorachi? laissant un très bon profile agrumes citronné. Le gingembre donne des notes d’épices sans être pour cela trop présent ce qui est souvent le cas des bières utilisant le gingembre. Le profile fruité oscille entre le tropical, goyave, citronné avec une levure étant plus dans la lignée de BFM. Le malt reste plus en retrait et laisse le champ libre aux houblons.

14/IV/2012 - 75cl bottle @ home - BB: 7/XI/15 (2012-364) Thanks to sebletitje for sharing the bottle!

Little cloudy copper red beer, aery light beige head, unstable, pretty adhesive. Aroma: sweet ripe fruits, pineapple, lychees, sour berries (reminds me of the Goji Beer), oranges, honey, guava. MF: way too much carbon, medium body. Taste: sour red berries, bitter nasty flavours, rotten fruits, some mocha, weird bitterness. Aftertaste: sour, poisonous berries, nasty oranges. Man this is bad. Funny thing: opinions were very different on this one. Always interesting.

Bottle. Murky purplish brown color, medium beige head, solid lacing. Aroma of prunes, apricots, raisins. Taste starts sweeet but has a slightly sour edge, very soft, with tons of dark summer fruit. Medium body. Nice.

Beautiful red-amber color, hazy; medium sized creamy head. The aroma is slightly funky, with rose petals and apricot jam. Smooth mouthfeel, high carbonation; the malt flavor has traces of Bretts giving a pleasant woody astringency; there are delicate fruity notes and spices; correct bitterness, peppery too in the end. It’s a balanced, intriguing, wonderful beer.

Bottled. A hazy deep red beer with a lazing beige head. The aroma has notes of over ripe fruits, malt, caramel, and spices. The flavor is sweet with notes of malt, fruit, and spices - especially ginger, leading to a dry spicy finish. Thanks fiulijn for sharing.

Bottled (thanks Bov!). Hazy orangeish pale brown colour, small beige head. Aroma is a bit sour wooden with a bunch of caramel and some mild spices and mild yeasty notes. Flavour is sourish wood, yeasty, cranberries and mild maltyness. Most likely some kind of infection.4 3 5 3 9
