[At Fete de la Biere 2004, Lausanne] An orange beer with absolutely no head. The aroma is of oranges and hops. The flavor is strong of oranges and with very distinct notes of alcohol, that gives the warmth on an already hot day.

(Bottle 50 cl) Pours a pretty, clear amber with a small, creamy, off-white head, Fat malt aroma with a wee touch of citrus. Medium-bodied with lightly sulphurous malt accents, some nuts and a rather dominant alcohol. Brutal bitterness in the finish. Not pleasant. 291006

Pale amber. Thick, malty and bitter, but unfortunately also sourish like a failed lambic. (Two different bottles sampled)
