A hazy orange amber ale with a thin off white head. A pungeant floral hops with orange marmalade. In mouth, a rather funky intense c-hops, with nutty notes, sustained bitterness, good balance. Medium to rich bodied. Nice. Festival Bières et Saveurs, August 29 2008.

A hazy light golden ale with a thin white head. An aroma of banana, cloves and light menthol. In mouth, a light wit with light bananas. Very short in mouth. No tea really.... Festival Bières et Saveurs, August 29 2008.

Bottle: Poured a dirty light beige color ale with a medium foamy head with good retention and no lacing. Aroma of light citrus notes with some very subtle and weak wheat notes also discernable. Taste is a mix between some light citrus notes originating from industrial syrup with some light weak wheat malt note. Body is very thin with some OK carbonation. Mix between citrus and a wit could have been interesting but final results in this case are pretty bland.

Bottle, as l’obscurre. Rumlike nose, molassis Dark brown, creamy brown layer on top. Impressive wooden cognac and rum flavor on top of the usual roast and coffee notes, chocolat covered cherries, quite unexpected at the low strength. Mellow, light sparkly mnouthfeel. Medium body. coffeeroast and rum retronasal. Quite nice I thought.

Bottle: Poured a light golden color ale with a medium size foamy head with average retention and minimal lacing. Aroma consists of lightly sweet malt with some light floral hops also discernable. Taste is also a mix between some lightly floral notes with some lightly sweet aroma. No discernable flaws as can be found in many beers from this brewer but really bland and not something that I would look for again.
