Bottled. Hazy orange colour with mediumsized off-white creamy head. Aroma is sweet fruits, some green apples and a bit earthyness and wheat. Flavour is quite much the same, a rather sweet beer. Finished in cardboard like notes.

Bottled. Hazy deep brownish red colour with small white/pink head. Aroma is fruity and sugary. Flavour is mainly red berries with some mild fruity and papery hints. Rather uninspiring.

Ridicously huge, yellow head, dense and fine; fully hazy yellow-golden beer with greenish shine. Wheat and very perfumed, nearly soapy nose. Again very perfumed taste, lunaria, bubblegum and fruity, but not very specific apples. I fear coriander responsible for the perfumey aberration. Quite slick, light bodied, but nowhere empty. Silly beer.

Dark red-brown colour. Flavour is far from unpleasant but doesn’t seem to have found the right balance. The texture is rather thin and gassy which doesn’t match well with the rich aroma with hints of aniseed and the complex malty then bitter taste.

Bottle, thx to fonefan. A clear, amber beer with a small, beige head. Fruity-sweet nose with caramel and a tiny roasted note. Caramel, sweetness and fruits in the flavor, a little alcohol towards the bitterness, and also some bitterness. Medium, silky mouthfeel and a caramel-sweet finish with bitterness. Dangerously quaffable at 8.4% ABV. (080412)
