Bottle from Waitrose. Hazy golden body with a white head. Steady carbonation. Faint lacing. Aroma of vine tomato a grapefruit peel. Flavour of lemon and tangy yeast. Medium body with a slick texture. Very fizzy. Clean and hoppy and very easy to drink for a 9% ABV hoppy beer.

Bottle from Asda in Luton of all places. Still trying to clear out stocks before the excesses of December and this one had to go. Good pour, fruity aroma, but the taste is something different. Its fruity, really fruity. Not hops fruity, but peaches and nectarines- real fruit. Not fake or flavouring but real fruit. It was actually pretty good, particularly as I normally despise fruit beers. And really well balanced .

Robijnrood bier met schuim wat snel wegzakt. Smaak is fruitig fris zoetzuur met overduidelijk frambozen. Voor mij een heel fijn fruitbier maar mogelijk iets te zoet voor de echte liefhebbers.

Tight white head on an unclear golden coloured body.
Malt, cereal & ashtray aroma.
Medium bodied, foamy with a cloying back.
Pale malt, biscuit, cereal & grain tastes.
Not sure what this is supposed to be - has no Chouffe characteristics & just tastes like a weak east European lager.
Poor.

From bottle during dinner at 't Zusje in Ede. Didn't take notes, enjoyed good food and good company. Remember it was mainly malty, hints of bread. Ok for a low alcohol beer.
