This is the red version of the white Amoureuse, for which we use grapes of the Garanoir variety. This beer can only be brewed once a year, during the harvesting season. For the 2014 version and thereafter, the winegrower will not separate the marc from the must at the outset. He intends to leave it for a few days so that it takes on a more intense colour. The must is added to the beer at the height of the fermentation process, which carries on normally. . As the fruit yeasts are active, they develop a drier finish and the end product is a beer that is more acidy than usual.

Super murky, hazy and light amber coloured body with a copper glow and almost no head at all to speak of, but the haze is a funky, odd and not-pleasant looking glow to a copper body with about 70 per cent opacity here. Aroma of soured, yeastie, bready and funky tart malt note with some light grape scents, a dash of flowers and grass along with hay, barnyardie and funky saison-like elements with a good deal of sweetness noticeable in the nose, especially at the end. Medium-bodied; Pretty crisp and soured, funky and definitely off-wheated malt notes dominate with a lot of soured grapes and odd bread-like flavours without too much else, aside from a grassy and herbal like perfume with some light sweetness on the end and a dash of alcohol here. Aftertaste is definitely swaying toward the funky, soured and tart malt and yeast notes without much else aside from a light grapey sweetness and a dash of flowers here. Overall, a pretty poor offering with some funky grape and especially yeast/bready components, but perhaps this one is past it's prime, but seems pretty indicative of the brewery, given the others I've had from them, while local in Suisse. I sampled this 33 cL bottle purchased from Leuken's Liqours in Dunedin, Florida on 14-April-2019 for US$5,99 sampled at my house here in Washington on 01-June-2022, just over three years later.

Hazy pale amber colour, like apple juice, lots of tiny bubbles, fizzy head which disappears within seconds, no lacing. Brett nose, aroma apricot, peach, biscuit, barnyard. Taste sour and light sweet, fruity (peach, grapes), hint of vinegar, tart, bit of wood. Mild sweet and sour aftertaste, fruity, more wood, medium body, watery texture, average carbonation. Pleasant but tastewise it lacks some character.
