Ruddy orange-brown body, thin off-white head. Tart raspberry aroma, with toast and a touch of chocolate. Light, subtle body with delicate raspberry and delicate bread and biscuit support. Reminds me of Founders Rubaeus, but lighter and more subtle. Grew on me over time.

This is light in flavor, aroma, palate, and appearance. The aroma does have hints of fruit and the lightest trace of barnyard weirdness but there is not enough of either even though what is there isn’t bad. Light fruit and malt in the flavor. Light on the palate as well. Fairly well carbonated, with a corked that shot off the bottle and lots of bubbles and help in forming the thick white head.

(Bottle 33 cl) Unclear orangey golden with a rather stable, white head. Very distinct peach aroma. Medium body with notes of fruit, but the fresh peachy notes from the aroma are lost to some indistinct mushy, fruity notes. Unpleasant, phenolic tang. Odd, blackish sediment looking like crushed pepper. 290106

Bottle. Good looking dark beer with a slightly roasted and coffee aroma and a very sweet barley wine like flavor.

LCBO Spring release. BB May 2006. Hazy golden ale with no head. Rather chalky cardboard box aroma of oxidation, butfreshly sliced pears also noted. In mouth, a sweet honey malt, with light coriander, clovers herbal qualities, and warming alcohol. Medium bodied. The aroma took a beating but in mouth, still enjoyable.

Pour is a cloudy tan with a small white head. Aroma is a bit earthy and toffee. Flavor is almost like a dry wine. Very dark fruit with the right amount of malts used. Not alot of mustyness going on here unlike its blond brother but well worth it. Very tasty and a pleasure for all the sences.

(Bottle 75 cl) Hazy, reddish caramel colour with a small, off-white head. Fresh berry nose. Very heavy carbonation. Dry-bodied with an underlying tartness. Distinct raspberry flavours - unfortunately partly from artificial aromas. 251205
