Bottle from Au Grain d’Orge, Crissier
Hazy reddish amber color. It has the classic funky aroma of BFM, maybe just slightly milder than usual. Good body strength; it has good malt and caramel flavor, with no evident wheat, but an interesting peppery and coffeish note in the final. Very good, solid, interesting.

Hazy brown body with an off-white creamy head. Very well balanced aroma of hops, flowers, ... Heavily bitter, lightly sweet flavour - bit caramel. Well balanced beer, maybe somewhat one dimensional.

Slightly hazy brown red colour, off-white head. Quite spicy aroma, malts, bitter and sour notes (reminding somewhat of caramelised Belgian endive -witlof-), slight caramel sugar tone. Flavour somewhat bitter, slight sweetness, malts, light coffee bitter touch, quite a bit of citrus. Spicy finish with citrussy hops. Nice one.
(From 75cL bottle @ RBBWG, Antwerpen. Thanks to sebletitje for the bottle)

Sampled @ RBBWG Antwerpen. Courtesy of Sebletitje. Cloudy dark orange color, small off-white head. Smell is a little weird and hard to describe. Taste is pretty nice: slightly roasty, slightly sour hints and some hops. Doesn’t taste like a weizen bock to me. Nice mouthfeel, decent carbonation, medium body.

75 cl bottle @ RBBWG 2012, Antwerpen. Got this bottle via trade, thanks Rémi. Ambrée sur un col beige. Arôme est malté et caramel avec une pointe de houblon fleuri. En bouche, on retrouve biensur ce profile Malabar caramel qui se mesure à un style Weizen laissant un fini de levure ester très appréciable laissant une pellicule de banane. Une pointe de café renforce le palais avec sur la fin un houblon rajoutant une amertume fleurie délicate.

Good, stable cream to amber head over hazed orange-brown beer. Spiced, yeasty notes. Nutmeg, wild fruits. Bitter-spicy-fruity-wheaty - God! Marvellous balance, nearly unparallelled. Bitter like rootspices and a touch of coffee, spices as nutmeg, fruit maybe redcurrant, whilst the finish is pure orangepeel. Medium to well-bodied, extremely slick. Simply excellent.
