Jan 31, 2006 Meaty, buttery, mostly sweet aroma with some doughy yeast character. Clear amber coloured body with a low white head that recedes to a thin cover with patchy lacing. Buttery flavour has vegetal notes and a cardboard-like staleness. Some caramel sweetness and herbal hops with mild bitterness. Medium body with fairly low carbonation. Bottle (BB. Nov-06) sampled with MartinT, Olivier_MTL, Rastacouere and Siroy.

Jan 30, 2006 Any first impressions?
-Scant head lasting over clear copper-orange.
-Exuberant orangey fruitiness lays on pils-like, bready malt.
-The well-hopped finish is appreciated.
-The carbonation and thin body are obviously made for quaffing.
What if you dig deeper?
-The dry wooden hoppiness in the aroma could appear vegetal to some.
-Vaguely caramelly maltiness is not polished, and in the end nearly tasteless.
-What else could you expect from an ordinary amber ale?
Bottle; best before November ’06.

Jan 7, 2006 Bottled. Reddish amber colour with small beigeish head. Aroma of plum, spices and sweet malts. Flavour is strong hoppy with grassy hints. Grassiness goes hay in finish. Also barley comes in quite strong in the form of breadish hints. Pleasant, but a bit too hoppy for my taste.

Jan 7, 2006 Bottled. Light brown with a minor white head. The aroma is bitter / malty / sour. The flavour consists of a malty sensation, it feels quite fresh. I didn’t sense any particular aftertaste. I like it and it seems to have a character of it’s own.

Dec 20, 2005 Bottle: Poured a hazy deep yellow color ale with a huge foamy dirty white head wit pretty good retention. Aroma of Belgian yeast with sweet malt. Taste is quite refreshing with some mild sweet malt and nice dose of Belgian yeast. Medium dry finish with a nice above average body. Very good take on the style.

Dec 19, 2005 Served as a hazy, deep-copper under a thin white film and thick white ring. Light apple in aroma with licorice, cherry, pink bubblegum, white wine and light funk. Flavor is multi-layered with fruits and caramel, ending with dry bitters. Smooth yet dry. Left a very vinous impression. Complex and delicious.
