Love this beer! From prying off the wire and popping the cork, the aroma comes on strong. Two finger head, and beautiful flavor of bread and grass. Soft carbonation and lingering bitterness on the palate. A perfect bottle to sip on a hot summer’s day....

(bottle, 33cl) Hazy, amber colour with a big and loose, slightly tanned foamy head. A bit cheesy yeast-character with hints of cara-malt and nuts in the background. Moderately sweet flavour, medium bodied with a moderate carbonation. Nutty cara-malty taste, accompanied by mildly sugary notes and a very subtle fruit-character; sweet and slightly bitter finish, again with nutty and subtle fruity accents. Nice but not directly my kind of taste. 08.VI.12

750 ml bottle into tulip glass, no bottle dating. Very interesting method of securing the cork with a staple looking piece. Pours slightly hazy golden amber color with a nice 2 finger fairly dense white head with great retention, that reduces to a nice cap that lingers. Some good spotty foamy lacing clings to the glass. Aromas of grape, apple, hay, grass, pepper, honey, earth, pear, lemon zest, bread, and light fruity funkiness. Nice and well balanced aromas with good strength and complexity; very pleasant. Taste of apple, grape, honey, herbal, hay, grass, pear, lemon, pepper, earth, clove, bread, and cracker. Light earthy tartness and herbal spiciness on the finish; with lingering notes of light fruits, hay, grass, earth, pepper, clove, bread, and herbal spiciness on the finish for a good bit. Very nice balance of fruity flavors and earthy spiciness; with nice complexity and no cloying flavors. Medium-high carbonation and medium bodied; with a fairly crisp and lightly prickly mouthfeel that is nice. Alcohol is very well hidden with pretty much no warming noticed on the finish at all. Overall this is an excellent Biere de Garde! Great flavor complexity and balance; and extremely smooth to sip on. Highly enjoyable offering.

750ml bottle. Clear golden colour with average, collapsing, macropore to frothy, minimally lacing, white head. Grainy and minimally sourish, strawy aroma with resemblance to a Kristallweizen, hints of medicinal alcohol. Taste has initially tart and bitter notes, later additionally a yeasty touch, hints of oak in the finish. Quite a range of flavours, though not matching my preferences.

Rating from notes, 2012: 750ml bottle picked up at Cora-Forsbach. Pours out a light amber color, thick, creamy head, chunky lacing. Aroma brings forth Belgian yeast, pit fruit, some light pastry sweetness. Taste is more of the sweetness up front, light brandy notes, rich, deep malt character, some of the alcohol making itself apparent. Taste lingers for a bit, with a bit more of the alcohol heat warming the gullet. Really solid. Makes me miss my monthly trips to Cora.
