Bottle. Dry musty malt aroma. Reddish amber with gigantic head initially that collapses quickly. Sharp acidity hits the tongue first followed by light musty malt with a moderate hops finish. Light body but the mustiness linger quite a while after swallowing. Good but could use more body.

(Bottle at La Gueuze, Paris, 15 Oct) Dark amber colour with explosive, foamy, beige head. Fruity nose with notes of dried apricots, raisins and figs. Slightly metallic. Fruity taste with dried apricots (or peaches?), figs and prunes. Notes of chocolate and plums. Starts slightly sweet, turns drier in the spicy finish. Well balanced and very nice.

Poured a straw colored yellow with a fizzy, bulky white head from the bomber. Aroma is wheaty smelling, grassy, piney. Mouthfeel is very fizzy, lots of carbonation in this beer. Flavor is light but crisp, grassy, slightly citrus. Hides the alcohol well. Light and refreshing. Not my favorite style of beer but not bad.

Brown colour. Unclear. A large tanned head that almost disappeared completely. The "champagne" sensation is a bit exaggerated so the flavour almost drowns, but there are qualities to be explored. Malt and caramel shines through.

Nice 330ml bottle design. Amber coloured body with light toffee aroma. A huge white cap that looks attractive in the glass. Surprisingly moderate palate compared to its strength in alcohol. Fresh apple flavour with a good share of malt and a bitter finish. Hidden alcohol. The flavours blossom as the beer warms up.

Pours bright orange/amber into a tulip. Monstrous, fluffy tan head. Sour fruit notes. Lightly carbonated and smooth. Upfront honey/hay with a lasting caramel finish. Feel (don’t taste) the alcohol.

750ml bottle at Kent BF 2006. Pale gold with lasting white head. Lager hop aroma. Quite flowery. A bit of a blend between a lager and a biere de garde. Good biting hop finish. Pale malt in mouth doesn’t let it down. Good summer drink.
