Commercial Description:
Well-built and designed particularly for those looking for a stronger beer sensation, La Torra ambrée, best drunk at 6 to 8°C, has more body and a higher alcohol content at 6% Alc./vol. than its blond sister (5.5% alc./vol.). Flavoured with Myrtle (a wild berry from the Corsican maquis, picked in the heart of winter), it combines a subtle sweetness with the legendary strength of Corsica.

A clear red beer with a nice orange head. The aroma is very spicy with notes of berries, lemon, and grass. The flavor is very sweet - like a sodapop with strong notes of juniper berries. The end is quite dry.

(Bottle 33 cl) Clear, reddish beer with a small, white head. Fruity, dry aroma. Unpleasant sticky sweetness with notes of berries and spices. No real bitterness. Not for me. 011005

Bottled. Clear amber colour. Lovely aroma of rosemary and juniper. Sweet with clean, rounded mouthfeel. A beautifully spiced highly average beer.

Bottled. Clear orange coloured with a white head. Sweet fruity aroma with notes of malts. Sweet flavour of malts and fruits with notes of caramel. Hoppy finish.

Beautiful amber color. Strong aroma of caramel mixed with myrtle (rosemary-like, minty), that I don’t like too much… Good body strength, some malty sweetness, combined with the herbs and bitter enough. Heartless, but drinkable.

(à la myrte) - very clear amber colour with a fine pinky head; fruity aroma of red berries, sticky and oily, very sweet, some finishing tartness and a long sugary and fruity finish - help ! What happened to Duyck ?

Botled, bought in France. Ugh! Tastes like an alcopop. Sweet, vodka based drink with a herbal bitterness to balance things out. But according to the label on the bottle this is all beer. Hmm. OK. This is drinkable, and I do tend to enjoy these things - it’s just that I was expecting something more serious and beer like. The only brewery on Corsica itself is Pietra - and they also use herbs and suchlike in their brewing. I suppose this is an attempt to capture some of pietra’s market. Hmm. Some coffee aroma. Hmm. Some interesting chcolate flavours in here, but the whole thing is so much an alcopop that any nice features are overwhelmed by the plastic mouthfeel and the artifical construction.

Bottled. Brown beer light head. Light ginger beer aroma and a weakish ginger and water flavour. Overall tastes like a ginger beer to me.
