Commercial Description:
The masterpiece of the brewery. The beer that mostly encountered the favour among the customers at Le Baladin. Although one wouldn't believe that, it's the most alcoholic among all the productions. It originated from an old recipe created toward the end of the '800 following the style of the belgian abbey beers. Intense aroma of warm flowers, apricot and banana and hints of bitter almond. Agreeable, refreshing and quenching taste of apricot in syrup, almond cake and citrus fruits. Excellent the use of belgian selected hop during the fermentation process. This beer matches perfectly with ripen cheeses, biscuits and almond sweets.

<i>Bottle (75 cl) from Systembolaget, shared with gnoff, deft, and a non-ratebeerian dude</i>. Hazy amber with floating yeast particles, fizzy off-white head. Fruity aroma with notes of marzipan, chewing gum (Hubba Bubba), and earthy hops. Medium bodied, fizzy carbonation. Well balanced, dry finish.

Bottle. Orange-brown/amber with a thin head. Light peach sourness with citrus. Great flavor with cranberry, orange, grapefruit, and peach. Thick palate for the style. Bubbly and nicely textured. Cherry and raspberry notes open up as it warms. Very nice.

750ml Bottle. Pour is an effervescent orange with plenty of bubbles. The head is a thin white layer of cream and lace. A pretty beer. The aroma is rich and malty with a good level of spice, but not overwhelming at all. This is subtle and beautiful. I’m surprised by the delicate sweetness, but the carbonation and spice cleans it up. The ratings are pretty well mixed, but I like this.

750ml bottle which looks to be bottles in Feb.05, and I have just cracked it open late Oct.08. Not exactly recommended or desirable, let’s just think of it as the Kulminator edition. I had this one years ago and remember it quite fondly. I’m going to assume this one has morphed into something new in it’s age oldness. Murky brown-amber color. Intense sour aroma of brandy and green apples. The mouthfeel is watery and devolved, with lots of sweet fruity characteristics. Meady, it leaves a sour twangy aftertaste. The aroma is really the downfall of this beer, like most past their prime. The rating only reflects the aged version, will re-rate with a new hopefully.

750 ml bottle. Hazy, light orange body under a creamy, almost nitro-like, off-white head. Sweet aromas of spiced apple, candy, apricot, banana, dried fig, honey and flowers. Slight mustiness underneath it all. The flavor is moderately sweet, lightly acidic and lightly bitter. The finish remains sweet with a very light bitterness. Medium body and watery texture that thickens through the finish and turns more velvety. Lively carbonation. The flavors lingers for a good long while. Delicious.

750 ml green bottle poured a hazy orange with fishys and a lasting creamy ivory head. Aromas of sour citrus, apple, melon, light straw and light spice. Palate was medium bodied and crisp with a lightly dry slightly tart finish. Flavors of sour citrus, aplle, apricot and light spice with a smooth lightly dry lightly tart fruity finish.

Sampler at The Monial de la Biere 08 in Montreal. The color is a dark and hazy honey with a beige head. The aroma is malty but also sour. The taste is of malt, cereal wheat fruits like raisin with a sour finish.
