Huge, very dense yellowish head over faintly hazy straw-golden beer; some lace. Penetrative nose of fruit, especially apples, and a spicy note - maybe sage? Perfumed, and, I must confess, intriguing. Sweet, apples (but not cidery). I dig the apples, I seem to dig the quinces, I don’t dig the plums. Sweet, but not really exaggerated. Very fizzy MF, light bodied, slick. Not undeserving - in the same "style", I have encountered other horrors.

Nov 19, 2008 cloudy dark orange colour, bright white foam and a decent lace; perfumy aroma of mango; very sweet and juicy palate, sticky; light-bodied, no bitterness and a long sweetish aftertaste of apples and mango - well, well, well ...

Aug 11, 2008 25cl bottle.
Pours golden with a thick white head.
Aroma is fruity all around.
Taste is of apple, prune and coing, bottle indicates 31% juice used in the beer and some added aroma. The juice helps make this beer stand out from the fruit beers that use way too many fake extract. Little presence of malt.
The idea of the beer is to use fruits that are local to the region, and I really enjoy the concept of local beer.
Beer is really refreshing; low abv, ideal for hot weather.
