BFM Cuvée du 7ème

Brewed by BFM (Brasserie des Franches-Montagnes)
Style: India Pale Ale (IPA)
Saignelégier, Switzerland

2006 Bottle #276. Slightly hazy brown orange body with tons of carbonation leading to a big ol’ tan head. Dried cranberry over coffee cake aroma with a bit of enticing in the back. Caramelly-sweet start to the flavor with gingery/spice/vine offset. Some peppery yeast in the finish. A tasty ale, it could possibly use a more diverse spicing.

Bottle shared with blankboy, HogTownHarry, mds and tupalev - courtesy of HogTownHarry. Hazy orange-amber with a small off-white head. Aroma of yeast and spice with noce tart & funky notes. Flavour is sharp, with big yeast and herbal hop notes, and a hint of lemon.

Opened when lightly chilled. The bottle exploded with carbonation and lots of escaping foam. Dry aroma of herbal hops, but it is quite nice. Dark brown color and lots of carbonation and a tall brown head. Some sweetness, but lots of herbal hops. Dry flavor and dry finish. Very expensive at $16.

Second time I am trying this. First time brought a big bottle to HWOH and this time got an 11.5 oz bottle. Poured with a big head that quickly dissipated into some lacing. Color is a muddy, filled with floaties, light brown. CAnnot see through the beer at all and barely translucent. Aroma is very present - apple cider, with some hop aroma behind it. Taste is a nice surprise, not overwhelmed by the hops but pleasantly and presently in the background of a woodsy, apple cider-esq flavor. Just a hint of bitterness at the end. Alcohol hidden.

Explodes out of bottle making a five-finger+ white rocky head that goes quickly leaving some lace. Cloudy amber color. Ton of yeast. Light-medium carbonation and medium bodied. Malty, yeasty nose. Flavor is sweet and spicy some raisin, clean finish. $5.99 for a 330ml bottle from Tully’s Beer & Wine Wells, Me.

(750ml Bottle, 2006 vintage) Pours a cloudy amber-brown body with a huge long-lasting rocky beige head. Aroma of vinous, raisins, and toffee. Flavor of toasted malt, some light sourness, plums, raisins, floral hosp, caramel, and cocoa. The style should be classified as a Biere de Garde or Saison, but certainly not an IPA.

750 mL bottle from beastiefan2k. This one was a serious gusher. Pours cloudy dark orange, heavy particulate, huge off-white fizzy lasting head, excellent lacing. Aroma is heavy malt (bread, cereal, meal), average hops (herbs, grass), heavy yeast (dough, musty, leaves) with notes of light alcohol, banana, cask and wood. Medium bodied, sticky texture, fizzy carbonation and a bitter finish. Short duration, light sweetness, moderate acidity and heavy bitterness with a salty flavor.

wow what an honor I am the first American to rate this. from the bottle no date that I could find. poured a cloudy amber with a big bubbly light tan head. aroma the first thing that hits the nose is a light metallic followed by grapefruit, malts, amd yeast and fruits. flavor, orange, hazelnut, hoppy, sweet malts, with a bit of alcohol at the finish. this isn’t like any IPA I have had before good beer
