Bottle. Somewhat artificial aroma of Granny Smith apples and plums. Horrible bitter flavor, sugary sweet with artificial fruit. Aftertaste of rotten apples and aspartame. Hardly drinkable.

Another of the Grisette beers commissioned by Saint-Feuillien, with extracts of apple, plums and quinces. Creamy, snow white, stable head, dirty ochre blonde colour with pinkish hue, cloudy. Strong apple cider smell, apple juice, lemon, wheat, grass, plum juice, berry jam, honey; soft orangey and apple-like taste, sugary sweet, wheat and honeyish sweetish malts in the middle, dominated by an artificial, even bit lemonade-like sweetness, soft sourishness in the end, cloyingly sweet. I do not like top-fermented sweet fruit beers but this is a bit better than many others I tasted. Which doesn’t mean it’s good.

Bottle: Poured a hazy white yellow with a fluffy white head. Aroma is sour grapes, exotic fruits, and syrup. Taste is almost passion fruit juice like and grain. Finish leaves a sticky sugar on the tongue.

25cl bottle. Pours golden with a thick white head. Aroma is fruity all around. Taste is of apple, prune and coing, bottle indicates 31% juice used in the beer and some added aroma. The juice helps make this beer stand out from the fruit beers that use way too many fake extract. Little presence of malt. The idea of the beer is to use fruits that are local to the region, and I really enjoy the concept of local beer. Beer is really refreshing; low abv, ideal for hot weather.

Bottle. Chemical rotting apple aroma. Hazy yellow-orange color with large head. Very sweet apple-cranberry flavor. Another super Belgian fruit beer.

Huge, very dense yellowish head over faintly hazy straw-golden beer; some lace. Penetrative nose of fruit, especially apples, and a spicy note - maybe sage? Perfumed, and, I must confess, intriguing. Sweet, apples (but not cidery). I dig the apples, I seem to dig the quinces, I don’t dig the plums. Sweet, but not really exaggerated. Very fizzy MF, light bodied, slick. Not undeserving - in the same "style", I have encountered other horrors.

Bottle, courtesy of fonefan. A clear, quite pale golden beer with a small white head. Green apples and plums make the aroma. The flavor follows the same path, lower on plums, but generic fruity, sweetness added, and with a touch of bitterness. Medium to thin body with a pleasant level of carbonation. The finish has apples and a little sourish touch. Not my cup of tea, it’s too focused on apples, leaving too little room for beery flavors. (080413)
