Golden color, small white head. Orange, watermelon, berries in the nose. Light bodied. Fizzy carbonation. Fruity watermelon and banana sweetness, very light spices. Light and quite boring beer, not much a witbier.

Bottled 330ml (PBF, BB 10/2011)
Clear deep amber color, small beige head. Woody, leafy, grainy aroma. Sourish, caramel, spices, wheaty notes. Intensionally sour or not? Not too bad, although quite simple brew.

Bottled (thanks Bov!). Amber colour, small beige head. Aroma is fruits, floral notes as well as mild glueish and yeasty notes. Flavour is liquorice, some mild glue and mild notes of spices and yeast.

Hazy dark red-amber color; generous compact head. The aroma is mild, fruity. Some caramel flavor, light honey impression, a nutty touch, but most of all an evident homebrewing character of yeast. The final is correctly bitter, but also metallic. Even the name (bière brune) is wrong.

Hazy deep blond color. Some spicy wheat aroma, but also some nasty, minty medicine. Dry mouthfeel, and high carbonation (so maybe some uncontrolled fermentation going on here); the body is very weak, the flavor is poor, with traces of rosemary.
Although not fully offensive, this beer is wrong in all directions.
