rederic (1507), montréal, Quebec, Canada Jun 21, 2007 Sampled at the Mondial, amber-orangeish hue, with a nice frothy white head, yeasty, raisiny nose, with a hint of raw graininess, with a mild wineyness aroma follows through on a medium-bodied palate with a yeasty, raisiny winey character, with a kind of milky acidic, lactic ferment accent, with a warmth alcoholic character, regardless of his 6%, a faint hop bitterness, leading towards a fruity, winey finish.
Rastacouere (5418), Montréal, Quebec, Canada Feb 17, 2008 Clear pale amber ale. Lasting off-white cover. Aye! Now that’s a pleasant surprise. Greatly extracted Vienna base malt, a bit musty, but very biscuity. Soft residual sugars accompany until the very end. Sweetish, tea-like, toasty and very clean offering. Gentle, fitting bready yeast. Mellow earthy, spicy concluding hops. A fine French ale, if simple. Ungstrup (11692), Frederiksberg, Denmark Nov 18, 2007 Bottled. A hazy amber beer with a tan head. The aroma is sweet malty with notes of caramel. The flavor is sweet malty with primary notes of caramel, but also a light spicy touch. Jukkabro (2463), Tampere, Finland Nov 11, 2007 Dark orange colored with particles of yeast floating in glass. Medium sized yellow head. Lemony and yeasty aroma with some dried-plummy tone, some tangy berry sourness also can be noticed. Medium bodied. Flavor is also somehow tangy and biting with this berry yeastiness, sourness with carbonated palate here too. Some spices also in aftertaste with mild glue. Not very dubbelish brew for me... wunderbier (1261), Finland Aug 11, 2007 Hazy amber colour with a large, frothy, off-white head and continuous carbonation. Very brisk and dry aroma, like unsweetened iced-tea. Aroma of dried apples, pears, strawberries, dead grass, hay and dried bananas. Flavour begins lightly sweet, lightly acidic and finishes lightly sweet, lightly acidic, lightly bitter. Medium to light bodied, watery texture, lively carbonation. Dry champagne yeast aromas come on as it warms. Nothing terribly interesting going on.
