Bottle: Poured a deep brown color ale with a huge foamy head with some good retention and good lacing. Aroma of sweet malt and light candi sugar is interesting. Taste is dominated by some sweet Belgian malt with some candi sugar. A bit one-dimensional I thought with no spices or yeast overly present. Body was about full with some good carbonation and no alcohol was discernable.

Bottle: Poured a pink/reddish color ale with a big light pink foamy head with good retention but no lacing. Aroma of raspberry is dominant and is probably a mix between some real raspberry and some syrup. Taste is sweet with some light tartness form the raspberry with a good malt presence. Body is above average with some medium filtration and some medium to low carbonation. I had some really low expectation of a sweet syrupy beer but got really impress with the presence of real raspberry.

Aroma of sweet fruit and yeast. Hazy, orange tinged gold color with a decent white head. Odor of citrus as the chalice approaches the lips. Medium bodied. Mild, almost creamy, carbonation. Starts with suggestions of orange and spice. Yeast and earthy notes follow. The relatively dry finish is perhaps orange citrus with a bit of sour, and mild sweetness to balance the citrus. Overall it is very light and pleasant.

(Bottle 33 cl) Pours a beautiful, warm, slightly hazy amber golden with a handsome, creamy, beige head leaving laces. Distinct raspberry aroma. Medium body dominated by the very distinct and very sweet raspberry accents on the fore perfectly balanced by an underlying tartness - sort of Flemish Sour style. I had feared this would be cloyingly sweet, but actually it’s a beautifully crafted fruit beer. 150707

Bottle: Poured a bright golden color ale with a huge foamy head with good retention and great lacing. Aroma of big Belgian malt with some light sweetness. Taste is dominated by the semi-sweet Belgian malt with a nice lightly hoppy dry finish. Body is quite full with some great carbonation and no alcohol was discernable. Overall, this was better then expected with a great refreshing factor.
