Abbaye de St Landelin Ambrée

Bottle, 6.5%. Slightly metallic aroma. Clear amber colour. Small stable white head. The flavour is OK malty and clean, slightly sweet with a little apricot or something. Low bitterness.

Bottle@Home. Caramel and light herbal aroma. Amber color, off-white head, good lace. Sweet, pretty bitter, caramel, herbal biterness, cinnamon, clove, little sticky mouthfeel. Flavorful bit due to the sweetness and herbs not easy going.

Bottle, thanks to Nightfall. Fine amber, lively carbonation. Grapefruit, warming alcohol, not much of a body. Not lambic-like in its sourness, but it has Belgian relatives on the yeast side of the family. The warming finish signals a beer stronger than it actually is.

Bottled. Deep golden. Fresh with a light, grassy sourness. Really malty with chocolate. A somewhat harsh bitterness.

(Stockholm Beer Festival 2007) Bottle. Nice clear amber color, offwhite head. Malty, nutty aroma. Malty and somewhat sourish flavor, nutty and with some caramel.

Strong malty aroma, bold fruit as well, clear amber, tiny white head. Mild malt flavour, a bit heavy in the mouth. Average. Thanks again R.

Bottled at Monk’s Café, Stockholm. Clear amber, brief head. Caramelly grassy nose. Sweet and fairly light bodied with clean, hard mouthfeel. Fairly neutral at first, as it warms more caramel and light cardamom spicyness seeps out. Low bitterness.

Tap in café Le Mutile (Brule St Amand). Amber brown color ale with a light head. Aroma: malty and fruit. Very belgian ale like, good in balance. Medium bodied. Strong and sweet caramel taste.
