Pale golden ale with a thin white head. Light C-hops in aroma, and light citrussy notes, not too big. In mouth, sharp hops attacks with the citrus/grapefruit, but this is really thin in body, and the flavours dissipate quickly. Dissapointed by this. Bieropholie order.

2005 bomber from Tiggmtl, shared with OldGrowth on 3/5/06
Dark amber, raspberry-brown colored body is quite clear, with some tan-beige tones throughout and a dark beige-grey colored head that is large at first, but receding fairly rapidly to cover, with no lacing. High amount of carbonation visible.
Sweet, sticky raspberry jam notes crowd in the nose, while light buttery toast, minerals, and dry caramelized grains try to make a stand. Some dry, almost sharp-like, vanilla notes seem to add complexity, but it dosent really go anywhere, the raspberries stay rather tame and not overly authentic, while the malts are too dried out, the beer too filtered and lifeless.
The flavor is a lightly acidic mix of raspberry extract, coupled with brown bread, crusty and heavily dry. Some light caramel sugars add a light jab of depth, but itβs heavily fleeting. Very, very filtered, and very, very carbonated (forced), breaking up any semblance of comforting malt texture, though it does keep the raspberry syrup from becoming too overbearing, for the most part. Just not enough beer in it, and too filtered and carbonated to boot.

(Bottle 65 cl) Pours opaque black with a creamy, beige head. Roasted, vaguely burned aroma. Rather light-bodied with an underlying sweetness and some burned accents that donβt leave much bitterness though. 240206

This beer came to me in my beer club. I am not familiar with the brewer. Sampled from a 12 oz brown bottle this beer poured a bronze color with a large fluffy tan head that lingers. The aroma is sweet fruity hops. The flavor is very bitter with a strong fruity hop presence and a bitter pine resin element that lingers on the palate. The beer is rather hoppy but does not have enough of a malt backbone to it.

Black pour with deep brown head, big bubbles that quickly disappear. Strong aroma of roasted malts with hints of sweet licorice. The flavor is full of roatsted, toasted malts and a bit of sweet chocolate. Slight bitter hops in the background. Buttery smooth mouthfeel with long hop finish.

22oz bottle - Raspberry very apparent in the aroma, rapidly diminishing thin to moderate head. Palate seems a bit thin. Taste is mostly of roasted malts adn raspberry. It tastes pretty good, but itβs nothing to get excited about.
