Light amber, dark gold with a massive to the point of annoying white head. Aroma was pleasant, honey accented malts, some spice, a bit of a yeasty note, and a dark fruity finish. Flavor was a match. This was much like a saison accented with cassis as opposed to a syrupy mess, which I greatly appreciated. Not bad, but the high level of carbonation was actually to the level of irritating, getting in the way of the experience.

Jul 27, 2008 750ml bought on the east coast a few months ago shared with my gf cyn. Thankfully this didn’t gush like its sister beer. Pours orange with a tan head that is very frothy. Nose of black currant. Taste is sweet almost cloying with an over abundance of carbonation.

Jun 28, 2008 Deep orange-ruddy beer, very cloudy with a light white head. Aroma is lightly fruity and quite earthy. There is a soft dustiness. It’s fruity but not overly sweet. It’s quite nice really. Lean and quite drinkable. Spritzy carbonation and a creamy mouthfeel. Probably the only cassis beer that I’ve truly enjoyed.
