Foxy amber; thin creamy, cream-coloured head. Nose with biscuit, oxydised, caramalt, sugar syrup and, somehow, cumin. Very little hint of bitterness and a touch of acidity over an outspoken malt taste, sweet and caramel. A bit oxydation, some esters. Gets soupy warming up. Well-bodied. A bit velvety, even sticky. Again some bitterness in the aftertaste, even hoppy after all. I get an impression of hop oil. A strange beer. Not exactly my cuppa... beer. There is not much wrong, neither - maybe fresh hops?

Dark brown, reddish shine. Yellowish, creamy head. Lactic acid, vineous, oakwood, fruity. In the taste, a kind of artificial sweetness, amazing as the background is quite OK, with the right acids, woody-vineous, old wood-like flavours you expect from the style. Sweetness is cloying, and impares the refreshing possibilities. Medium-full. It loses all the points on the added sweetness. Shame.

Slightly hazy yellow color, short but lasting head. Sweet aroma of honey, oak, bit yeasty. Sweet sour taste. I was expecting a blonde beer, this turned out something weird.

Clear golden. Slight white head, stable. Nose of coloured (ambrée) malt, very strange seen its colour, grain, CO2. Very malty taste, pilsner-malt this time in accordance to the genre. Background bitterness, reasonably soft finish. Reasonably full mouthfeel. Not too fizzy. A decent pilsener. I wonder about the kind of fermentation, though

Watery blond colour. Fruity aroma and flavour. Almost the typical gueuze-flavour and -aroma. Nice beer.

Very nice nose: lactic acid as with an aged blendingbeer, at the same time an impression as of diacetyl, but really restrained; also something flowery. Colour light pale, lacy head. Taste : biscuits, but also an impression of a very sweet liquour - not quite succeeded. Very smooth palate, with another lactic impression in the aftertaste. Very strange imbalance with the nose and finish vs. the actual taste. As if something failed to work out in the formula. Blending is more than probable, seen the brewer.
