A hazy orange beer with no head. Both the aroma and flavor are dominated by yeast.

An amber beer with a fine but disappearing caramel colored head. The aroma is sweet and rather spicy. The flavor is also sweet spicy but combined with notes of caramel. This beer is too sweet for my liking.

Cloudy golden color, medium white head. Aroma is spicy of coriander, fruity of citrus and banana, some wheat and yeast. Taste is bitter sweet, bit yeasty, but also refreshing from citrus. Quite comparable to the Hoegaarden Grand Cru, which also combines weizen and triple flavors. Therefore i cannot believe this is a winter seasonal. Printemps means spring I thought...

Dark amber colour, opaque, with creamy head. Aroma of malt, Belgian yeast, light cork. Gente malt, gentle Belgian yeast, and light fruitiness; low bitterness, but overall balanced.
Very nice, amazingly not oxidized.

Dark amber color; creamy head. Simple caramel aroma. Quite interesting flavor, caramel and roasted malt; promising, but unfortunately too much metallic.

An unclear light yellow beer. The aroma is sweet and wheaty. The flavor is sweet wheaty and dry hoppy. An OK beer without being something special.
