This Lambic poured a slightly cloudy light yellow with a rocky head. Scents include apples and fruit with a glue background. Almost a slight burning sensation in the nose. ??? First sip is shockingly fruity and sparkling with lots of carbonation. Lots of glue too. The finish is winey with a small amount of ripe fruit flavours. The palate is more like regular ale with a splash of cider. The Glue has got to go!

Bottle: Poured a reddish color beer with a nice medium size light pink head with average retention. Aroma of raspberry is clearly dominating with a nice mix between real raspberry and some syrup. Taste is also quite dominated by the raspberry with some very subtle sourness. This really reminded me of the Lindemans Framboise with a bit less tart and sourness.

Golden ale with a thin creamy white head. Sweet malt and orange peels in aroma. Sweet creamy malt, with treacle notes, and light spices, coriander, cloves and orange peels. Medium bodied with nice tingling effect. Nice with the Fondue.

Beer no. 200 Also, beer no.8 from my trip to Slovenia, brought by my friend Boštjan from Belgium, so a huge thanks to him. I was wondering which beer I should drink for no.200. It was this, two more Belgians, and a bunch of pale lagers etc I’ve bought in Spar. This one looked fancy, so... 0.33l cute Belgian stubby bottle. As Kasteel Bruin 11°. Strong and nice wine like aroma wafted through my room as I poured this in a glass. More detailed check revealed a deep malty nose that had hints of alcohol, orange peel and plum. Impressive. Deep brown colour with a big brown head that went away fast. The taste was.... alcohol, strong plums and raisins, some weak dust, lemon and grapeseed bitterness in what might’ve been an aftertaste and that’s it. Period. Disappointing. Tasted like a cruder Belgian Samichlaus.

Bottle shared with Muzzlehatch and tiggmtl on 11/6/05. Pours an amber-orange color, clear and bubbly, with a fizzly white head, no lacing either. Aroma of cheap peach candy, juicy and full of sugar. No lambic. Flavor is just all peach candy, perhaps the slightest hint of a dry, earthy malt and maybe a hint of fuzzy peach skin. No lambic. Body is medium-full of peachy sugars. Texture is lightly syrupy. Carbonation is unnatural. So the premium line denotes what now? It sure dosen’t seem to denote a higher perecentage of lambic in the beer, because this was far less lambic-like than the St Louis non-premium framboise. And you’ve got to work at being less lambic-like than the St. Louis framboise. . .

Bottle from Auchan, Calais. Golden beer, no head. Nice fruity hoppy nose. Some syrupy sweetness is evident. Extremely carbonated and actually quite hard to swallow due to this. Golden syrup flavours in mouth and then some hop on the end which is both herby and sweet tangerine. Just a tad too strong for me.
