Pours with no head, almost like a cider. Aroma of apples, apricots, plums. Taste is an incredibly tart concoction of apricot and plum with a very sour finish. I’ve never tasted a "beer" like this. It’s not necessarily bad, but very different.

Pale copper beer with a good yellowish tinted head. Dough, banana, condensed milk, couscous. Again couscous in the mouth, milky, special grains, not dry without getting sweet. Creamy, slick MF, feels heavy despite lively carbonation; fruity aftertaste. Strange, strange flavours... Infected, I daren’t say, but peculiar all the same. Oxydized malts? Thanks to Stefaan!

5th November 2008. Cloudy brown beer. Low carbonation. Sweetish caramelly nose with a faint whiff of orange. Starts with creamy malt running in to an unusual taste of Sangria! Definite orange and a little mandarin with an undertone of red wine and port. Unusual and very tasty.

Bottled. Lightly hazy golden, brief head. Aroma of plums and ammonia. Sweet and fruity, light bodied. The yellow plums remain more aroamtic than sweet and cloying, making it an unusually functional fruit wheat beer with reasonable refreshing qualities.

33 cL bottle at Falstaff, Montparnasse, Paris. Pours hazy brown with a fully diminished off-white head. Sweet caramelish and light yeast fruity aroma. Mild spiced and pebbery yeasty flavoured to a nicely roasted caramel malt base. Vague butterish touch. Light sweetness and a mild alcohol presence into the far finish. Slight warming alcohol.

Bottle, 8%. Distinct bonbon, sugary aroma, quite caramelly. Clear amber colour. Big stable tan head. The flavour is quite sweet, slightly spicy and very caramelly. Syrupy mouthfeel.

Bottle, 4%. Mild fruity aroma, a little peachy, must be from the mirabelles. Cloudy orange colour. Small stable white head. The flavour has a distinct peach flavour. There is an underlying flavour of pale lager. Watery finish.

Bottle, many thanks to friend Trev for bringing this back from his Alsace holiday, cheers mate, consumed 28-10-08 Pours mid-amber with off white head. This is big on toffee and fudgey flavours the alcohol shows but never intrudes, lovely beer and I’m getting fruit and reminders of those banana toffee swirl sweets, not bad at all.
