$1.50 bottle, TJs, CHO. Hazy gold with a small white head that quickly disappears. Nose is light, but there's pineapple (somewhat candied) and what smells like dry apple. Quite artificial flavor... plenty of pineapple, but this can't be real, or if it is it's just loaded with sugar. Apple follows. Eh.

$1.50 bottle, TJ, CHO. Strawberry-gold in color, clear, light carbonation evident. Nose is overwhelmingly strawberry, somewhat artificial perhaps, but really nice. Light notes of buried apple as well. Flavor is sweet strawberry - does not taste artificial, sweet apple. Sweet but not cloying. Quite tasty.

I did not expect it to be dark in color. This is less soir than some of the other Petrus beers. Light blueberry. Make, yeast and mild acidity.

Bottle shared by JK, thanks! Pours a cloudy peachy gold with a white head that dissipates to the edges. Aroma has sweet strawberry that is slightly tart with some light sweet grains and a bit of hay backing. Flavor has a nice tart and sweet combination of sweet strawberry with a bit of sweet grains underlying.
