Bottle reads4.4%abv. Pours copper with beige head. Aroma is malty / hoppy and grainy. Taste is roasted with ome caramel malt, lightly spicy (coriander and black pepper?) giving a little tingly feeling. Fruity, possibly fig. Found the aftertaste to be a little too weak and watery. An excellent ale for the abv.

25cl bottle. Pours amber with white head. Aroma is very hoppy and earthly yeast. Taste. I found it to be a good version of the US type of IPA but something was missing. It is filled with hops, some fruits, floral taste and light bitter note. Some caramel sugar. It felt like having a good US IPA right in the mountains of Switzerland.

(Bottle 75 cl) Pours a hazy golden with a creamy, off-white head. Lovely Brettish aroma. Medium-bodied with dry fruit notes, yeast and an astringent woody character. Astringent rather than bitter finish. Quite lovely. 290608

Hazy yellow color, small vanishing white head. Lambic-like fruity sourness in the aroma. Sour, lambic-like flavor. Mango, green tea leaves and other funky stuff. Long sour aftertaste. Some brews from this brewery are really tasty and this is one of them.

Bottled, thanks Bov! Cloudy golden, airy head. Perfumy hoppy spicy nose. Lies rounded, lively and spritzy in the mouth. Estery flavour of winegum mixed cith citric hops. Intensive but in superb balance. Combines a perfect saison with an IPA, kind of what many Belgian brewers been trying to do, but this art is now perfected in Switzerland instead.

Bottled. Pale golden colour, mediumsized white head. Aroma is hops, bigtime fruityness as well as some acidic wooden notes. Flavour is quite much the same along with some slight notes of sweet malts. A rather different IIPA/DIPA, but very well drinkable and enjoyable.

Bottle at the RBESG08 Grand Tasting. I thought that I would like this, but I wasn’t so sure when I tasted it. Hazy gold with thin beige head. Sticky hoppy aroma. Lots of sour grapefruit, bit of plastic, like licking a plastic bucket, starts well, but the plastic puts me off.

RBESG08 grand tasting. This is Swiss? Didn’t know that. Poured a murky orange colour with a small head that went away fast. Lovely lemony hoppy nose. A distinctly hoppy taste. Fruity aroma hops, lovely tangy lemon. Not all that malty and a great IIPA.
