Possibly not beer.
Une boisson alcoolisée à la violette et aux airelles, fine et légère.
La Violette du Mont Blanc, venue du flanc de la montagne, est une création originale mariant le jus d’airelles et les arômes naturels de fruits rouges et de Violette
Les fruits rouges s’expriment pleinement en premier puis la violette vient compléter subtilement les premières notes.
Une pointe de vanille s’affirme en note finale.

Light haze on this pale peach colour beer, good pale cream colour head. Palate is airy, semi dry and mildly crisp. Sweet Parma Violets but not as sugary as that candy. A little generic berry fruit provides contrast. Light semi dry finish. Not bad by any means, no beer snobbery here now!

Blank glassflaske 330ml fra Kjeller 5. Drukket i Skibotn 28 Mar 15. Gyldenbrun med litt skum som detter pladask. Svakt uklar. Kullsyrebrusing fra bunnen. Søt bæraroma. Smaken - og etterhvert utseende - minner om tynn brus. Kunstig fruktsmak. Rart fiolett bunnfall.

330ml bottle. Barely clear, yellow-ish golden colour with average to huge, frothy, half-way lasting, minimally lacing, white head. Sweet-ish, artificially fruity and floral aroma, notes of raspberry, cranberry. Taste is sugary sweet, sirupy, artificial notes of cranberry, raspberry, a floral touch, hints of citric acid. Creepy.

Bottle. A clear, dark golden beer topped by a small, dense, off-white head. The aroma is berryish and flowery, with some mint and caramel. Mint, flowers, caramel, and a buttery touch in the flavor. Flowery finish. Thin on the palate, with a soft carbonation. Not very pleasant this one, not at all. Drinkable, but I’d rather not. 141213

0.33l clear bottle with one of those complicated pull-off caps. It has some serious aroma this! Oh my. This smells horrible. It fill the room the second after popping the cap. It has lots of eyefloaters when holding it up against the light. The color of the beast is golden, it's as good as clear and the little head goes quickly in to a sidesticking filmy thing. It just stinks of diacetyl, diabetes and some really cheap public toilet soap that has been disintegrated in grainy wort. Lots of Corona aromas here also, and it smells like drunken guy on a train. Oh my.. Tastes just like it smells. No, worse. Not pleasant at all what so ever. I can't drink another drop of this. Down the drain never to bee seen again. Truly one of the worst I've ever had. 08.03.2014
