(Bottle 33 cl) Another organic beer from the very interesting Canardou brewery. Orangey and opaque, looks pretty much like a "Hefeweizen". I wonder if there’s actually wheat in this. The head is almost aggressive, fighting to get out of the bottle. Incredibly fresh and flowery in both nose and aroma. Not very full in body, but dry with a well balanced bitterness in the aftertaste. Excellent spring- or summer beer. 070404

(Bottle 33 cl) Almost black with a massive, brownish head. Actually reminds me of a stout. Brewed with three grains: barley, buckwheat and spelt - a rather unusual combination. A long bitterness that reaches the palate. Very unusual French beer. Organic. 020404

A hazy red beer with a huge orange head. The aroma is complex with notes of alcohol, peach, oranges, yeast, and other spices. The flavor is sweet with strong notes of berries, primarily lingonberries, which gives it a dry wood note too, but the alcohol is clearly lying in the background and is felt on the tongue. The end is dry, while the mouthfeel is very smooth.

A hazy dark orange beer with a fast disappearing head. The aroma is strong spicy and dry with notes of spruce. The flavor is slightly sour with notes of hemp, grass, fruits, red currant, and spruce, before a very dry end sets in.

The aroma is very yeasty with strong notes of corriander and some notes of hops and grass. The beer is very lively when poured, so the head is huge white and lasting. The color is orange. The flavor is dominated by corriander from beginning to end, the sweetness is very discrete and combined with other spices. The end is very dry, both from hops and corriander. an OK beer - without being something special - a little too much corriander for my taste.

The aroma is very lomony with notes of spices. The color is an unclear orange and it has next to no head. The flavor is dominated by cloves with a sweet start, a watery middle, and a dry bitter end. I don't know why, but this is not the best wit I've had.

Very sweet malty aroma with notes of bitter chocolate and caramel - almost as if it is a sweet stout. The color is deep red or brown and it has a beutiful though collapsing light brown head. The flavor is sweet and sour on a malty background with notes of roasted malt, yeast, licorice, and chocolate. It ends on a malty dryness combined with a sourness. It has a good palate. This beer reminds me more of a stout than a Belgian ale. But anyways a good beer.
