5.9/10 — Appearance 8 Aroma 6 Flavor 6 Texture 4 Overall 5.5
2011-04-04, bottle from La Mise en Bière, Crissier, 6-4-6-2-11=29
Hazy dark amber-red color; generous head. The aroma is light, malt and a fruity trace; peppery. Too much carbonation, worn out body (malt), some vegetables, sourness and fruits: in other words, a medium-light infection is ongoing here. Not very pleasant, not completely unpleasant.

2010-07-02, ourtesy of Philippe (Bov), 8% ABV, bottled 2010.05.01, 7-4-7-3-13=34
One more time, a beer with high carbonation; it pours a hazy dark amber to brown color, with a huge head, solid. Interesting aroma, malt, caramel, a bit dusty, very light fruits and liquorice; extremely light vinous character; but also, dirty water. Average body strength; good, dry, caramel flavor, traces of chocolate, with light, suspicious sourness; then some more sweetness appear. It could be good, but that sour vein is strange, it would be out of place in a clean beer, and at the same time it doesn’t bring enough character.

A lot of carbonation produces a huge head that I have to let settle for some time; cloudy blond color. Nice, different aroma: wheat, herbs, sweet oranges and mix of citrus fruits, perfume, flowers, and in the end even honey. The flavor is less interesting; most the carbonation being gone now, the mouthfeel is soft; there is light Wheat beer character, but most of all the yeast and alcohol presence of a kit-homebrew, and vegetables. The yeast is too disturbing (even after letting the bottle to settle for 1 week). Not very good.

Bottled (from Bov). Wonderful ruby colour with a small off-white head. Aroma is strawberries, sour wood and yeastyness. Flavour is strawberries, yeast, some mild sourish wooden notes and also some sweet malts. The honey in the beer gives a quite big feeling of the strawberryishness going overriped.

Bottled (thanks Bov!). Quite much pitch black colour, small brown head. Aroma is liquorice, alcohol, some mild toffee as well as sweet malts. Flavour is quite much the same with alcohol being quite much stronger.

Bottled, thanks Bov! Hazy brownish amber, minimal head. Sweaty carame aroma with some lemon. Medium bodied with clean, rounded mouthfeel. Slightly sourish with notes of pine and dishwater/lemon. Fairly low bitterness. Interesting flavours, but some get lost in what seems like a mild infection.

As Philippe warned me, some bottles didn’t develop enough carbonation, and this is one; it pours a hazy golden color, with sparse bubbles. Light aroma, some malt, yeast and honey. Better flavor, with respectable malt, quite sweet for a Pilsner, but appreciated, light caramel and honey; it could be more bitter and aromatic. Quite refreshing and pleasant (the sweetness); a good start.
