25 cl. bottle @ home. Procured from Carrefour. BBF 27/09/2014. Pours a paler ruby amber with a vanishing off-white head. Nose is incredible this basically smells exactly like a bag of cherry – and some other flavours – gelatine candy. That is pretty incredible to be honest my impression fluctuates between that of pure childlike amazement and that of being slightly grossed out. Taste however sadly doesn’t live up to the promise, the gelatine candy is still there but way too weak, lots of sugar water is dissolving the flavour, faint malts and jelly beans, touch iron, hint herbs, watery artificial sweeteners finish. Overall a bit watery. Almost a minor embarrassment by even these sweetened candy beers, to bad that it started out promisingly.

Bottle @ home. Clear golden color, small off-white head that diminishes fairly quickly. Smell and taste malts, some grains, lightly some sweet-bitter and a touch of fruits hidden somewhere. Hmm pretty useful blonde that gets significantly better after it warms up a bit.

Bottle @ home shared with Dutchdrebus. Slightly unclear red color, small off-white head. Smells just like an amandel stuffed cookie. Yuk. Taste is sweet with some sweetish fruity influences that appear chemical and artificial. A bit fizzy carbonation, low to medium body.

25cl bottle, BB 11.10.2014. Orangée, col blanc-cassé crémeux. Arôme est faible et tire plus vers une bière belge blonde - pils. Malt pilsner, cara avec un bouquet fin de levure qui tire doucement sur la pomme-houblonné amer avec ce nez restant neutre et noble. Pointe de grains oscillant vers un léger biscuité-crystal. Palais fruité tenant clairement du houblon avec ce côté agrumes fermentées. Le tout garde une approche maltée modérée crystal, carapils. Le fini est métallique-amer citronné avec un profil rappelant bon nombre de blonde belge. Effervescence faiblarde n’étant pas aidée par un profil restant léger tant au niveau des malts que des houblons. Bière grand public, les amateurs de bières un peu plus spéciales trouveront leur bonheur ailleurs.

Good, fine yellowish head over clear yellow-golden beer. Slightly spicy malts, EU hops. Dried hopbales, straw. Plain, but OK. Slightly sourish impression, mainly from the CO², it appears. Some plain grains, pale, maybe slightly coloured malt and a hint at dusty spices, dried to death. Hint at spruce. Fizzy MF, overcarbonated, the CO² virtually overshadowing all other impressions, leaving an empty, watery finish, devoid of aftertaste. At least it’s not infected. Instead, they managed overcarbonated yellow water, this time. I can’t see reason nor rhyme as to how this brewery keeps rectifying its existence...
