Rather clear ruby-amber; very slim beige head. Nice woody and nutty notes, some green leaves and sweet chocolate, as well as brown candi sugar come out in the aroma. Bitter, some hops but more wood and roasted malt/sugarbitterness. Bitter gets milder, but is always present at the tonguesides, always wood in character. Bit harsh, on a rather sweet base. Flavours of candi sugar, nuts, horseradish. Some burning sensation, well-bodied. Compared to the blonde, a godsend. In itself, not undeserving, though not very similar to the Mc Chouffe.

Clear gold, good carbonation to yellow head, slightly irregular, leaving lace. Nose comes with boatloads of coriander, faint citrus and fleeting alcohol, but it’s the soupy corianderpowder that overpowers everything in sight. Taste exists of coriander, coriander, coriander, and maybe a touch of sage. Covering diacetyl, I seem to detect. Sweetish taste, buttery impression... Slick, soupy mouthfeel - the coriander. Bit of alcoholburn. OOOOOOuuch!! Give me the original anytime. Spices to cover the emperors’ nakedness.

Bottle: Poured a red beer with a bubbly head that disappeared a tad too fast. Aroma is quite spicy with some sweetness in the mix. Carbonation is really good and body is medium, which is quite convenient for fruit beer. The ginger taste is quite powerful (does taste like real ginger as opposed to some flavoured ginger taste) with the sweetness from the cranberry balancing things out. Overall, this is a very refreshing beer and probably a bit underrated. I had this beer about two years ago and I see some major improvement with those products recently.

Doesn’t quite live up to the original, but still is pretty good. A cloudy yellow color gives off a bouquet of oranges, coriander, baking soda. The firm medium body is mildly yeasty, orangey and hints of hot cross buns, ending in a dry orange finish

A dark golden buckwheat (think soba) ale with a tantalizing floral spiced nose and subtle hints of buckwheat. The body is full and the buckwheat is very much present but there is also hints of spiced oranges that mix nicely. The finish is dry and buckwheat accented. Not liquid soba, but rather a well balanced American Wheat beer.

Quite spectacular. A medium reddish brown color and a thin white head. The nose is very malty with apple cinnamon, toffee, pineapple and brandy. The front chocolate trufflish like the body is slightly sour with pineapple and brandy notes leading to a sharp bitter finish.

2004 version (seal). Deep black but clear with a nice moka coloured head. Smoked malt and bitter chocolate taste , where the roasted notes come out well, and light hop in the finish. Very good body. However, in a blind tasting, this would have been classed as a porter as I tought the malts and hops where more typical of that style.

Bottle – Poured a blond beer with a nice huge head with standard retention. Carbonation is great with very good aroma of fresh apple with a little note of sweetness coming through. Taste is very refreshing with the apple taste being very noticeable (sweetness coming out at first and then a more acidic taste when the beer gets warmer) and nice mix of malts. Overall, this is a very refreshing beer and I find that to get the best out of this beer you need a fresh batch instead of some bottle that has been lying in some store for six months.

This is another seasonnal beer from Brasserie RJ. This is actually a winter lager. Pourred a light colored brew with a medium head. The taste is quite light with a nice sweet aftertaste. I would have expected a stronger brew since this is a winter seasonal beer but overall it is not too bad.

Very light brew with a small head. Light body with light malt taste. Below average pils from a brewery who seems to be missing in the fresh idea department.
