A refreshing ale with a strong character; its fruity taste comes from barley grown in the Nord department of France and its highly aromatic yeast, its bitterness from a specific variety of hops.

Une bière de garde frontalière et flandrienne. Dorée, mousse épaisse blanche, arôme de malt type pils, nez à des tons de foins et fourrage. En bouche, malt pils, léger caramel, herbeuse et douce allant sur des notes sucrées avec fine amertume sur la fin. Palais reste sec avec un côté sympa de blé et une levure qui rappelle bien que la frontière belge n’est pas si loin.

Bottle, bb 12/11. Bright clear orange with a large white head that laces well. Champagne-like bead. Looks like a pilsener. Aroma has oranges and earthy yeast and seems very simple at first. Later more fruits and subtle sugary and spicy things appear and grow. Taste is mostly sweet and spicy with quite complex but subtle sugar and fruit interplay. There’s pears and apricots as well as oranges and a slight sourness as well. Interesting texture - at first it seems like a heavy lager, then there is a syrupiness and then some hints of yeast and sherry creep in. Finishes bitter with wood and spices. First sniff and sip seemed like nothing special, but this has great depth and complexity. The average rating for this beer is surprising in small measure.

750 clamped and corked from Pizza Port Bottle Shop. Pours gold with a foamy white head. Aroma is mixed earth and citrus. Medium body with foamy carbonation. Flavor is pretty citrus with an earthy undernote. Malt is like pale. Finishes dry and fairly bitter. Good crisp drink.

Medium white coarseish head. Paleish yellow body with carbonation. Faint mealy aroma with floral herbal notes. Dry spicy herbal taste with floral buttery notes. Light body. Sharpish, hot mouthfeel. Dry floral herbal aftertaste with mealy notes. Very anonymous and bland. Certainly drinkable, but not at all impressive. (0.75l bottle, Carrefour, Langeais.)

First off, hate that metal piece around the cork as it is real hard to take off and dangerous once it flies off (watch your eyes). Best before date is written 05.05.07 (originally rated June 2006). Pours a golden-yellow colour with a big, big white creamy head. The lacing it leaves is all around, and quite sticky. Good amount of carbonation with some tinny bubbles. Great retention. Smells very much like a Pilsener. Fruity taste with the alcohol well-hidden. Sugary finish and lingers for a while. Decent hop is present too with apples and mild citurs in the aftertaste. Gives me the idea that this is a Pilsner Malt Liquor. Even though quite good, I prefer most the of the Unibroue’s of that percentage before this one.

750mL bottle, pours a hazy blonde with a medium white head. Light aroma of yeast and wheat. Flavour of wheat, grains, citrus, and hints of coriander. Palate is rather dry, especially towards the end. Quite good.

Imported from my RateBeer account as St. Sylvestre 3 Monts Bière de Flandre (by St. Sylvestre):
Aroma: 4/10, Appearance: 4/5, Taste: 3/10, Palate: 4/5, Overall: 7/20, MyTotalScore: 2.2/5
Very clear yellow beer, looks more like lemonade. Very carbonic. Nice long lasting head. Smells like a sweet lager (pilsner). Tastes a little acidic to bitter, just like lager. Pretty flat taste experience. Practically no aftertaste. Would be a good thirst quencher were it not for the high amount of alcohol and the price. Oh, and the annoying cork-clamp. Almost cut myself forcing that thing of.
