Bière 75 cl trouvée au Market Boissons à Wattignies. Robe blonde claire, mousse crémeuse. Nez sur le houblon et côté malté. Bouche fraîche et ronde, fruitée, avec un petit coté fermier. Bière équilibrée sans alcool trop marqué. Pas transcendante mais sympa quand même.

Sweet-ish, fruity aroma, notes of red and dark berries, bramble, raspberry, minimally dusty, yeasty overtones; the fruity flavours are transformed into morello notes with the beer warming up. Taste is sweet-ish, fruity, notes of red and dark berries, dry overtones of fruit parings, a touch of plum, minimally toasty, malty basis with a pumpernickel touch; minimally tart finish with hints of morello. Good.

Bouteille: Hazy, deep ruby-amber coloured, small and stable off-white foamy layer, moderate bitter-sweet fruity and toasty nose of raisins, raspberries and caramel; moderate bitter-sweet flavour with a certain acidity, medium bodied, not overly soft, lingering - first sweet-fruity, later drier herbal-bitter finish with delicate traces of warming alcohol. O.K., drinkable...
