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

Pour is a cloudy yellow with a small white head. Aroma is malty and musty. Flavor is malty, yeasty and very musty. Taste like the moss covered barn it was made in. Very earthy and floral. A very pleasing brew that will open your eyes to farmhouse ales. Well recommended.

Orange-brown body, thick beige head. Dense caramely aroma with layers of breads and hints of toffee. Nice biscuity, bready, toasty body, sweet, with brown sugar and caramel, toffee, and a touch of raisin. I’m actually quite surprised by the complexity and ingenuity displayed by this tasty beverage. There are some similarities to La Bavaisienne, an excellent beer worthy of its rank as the highest-rated Biere de Garde.

33cl bottle from Auchan, Calais. Deep red colour with no head. Strong aroma of raspberry jam. If you want alcoholic raspebeery juice, then this is it. Some sourness kicks in towards the end. Bit of raspberry seeds flavour too. Although I liked this and found it drinkable and would have it again, I’m not sure that I can give it a higher score compared with other fruit beers I have had
