Very nice fruity nose, nice appearance but with no head. Flavor was disappointingly bland.

12 oz bottle. Pours with very little quickly disappearing head leaving no lace. Fruity vaguely herbal aroma with a trace of hops. Very lightly carbonated and not overpoweringly fruity in flavor. Somewhat sweet and citrusy with a sour fruity and herbal aftertaste. A bit light in body for my liking but a nice flavor.

Une autre bière assé spéciale, un goût de fruit inconnu et de blè rafréchissant. Je l’ai trouver dans un embalage cadeau avec Alba, Ebulum et Fraoch. Procuré en Ontario.

Bottle. Hazy golden colour with a sparse white head. Sourish fruity and grainy aroma. Tastes of gooseberries and wheat, with some background caramel and hops. It has a clean, but thin and watery mouthfeel, which lets it down somewhat. OK.

Some slight berry, honey and cereal aromas from this beer. It is a cloudy banana yellow with a large bead head that diminishes and leaves substantial lacing. Sharp, citric, sour berry flavor grows on the palate. Clean, light finish and a whole profile of wheat, berry, and cereal malt on the tongue. An interesting alternative to other fruit beers.

The gooseberry is apparently an odd tasting berry because that is how I would describe this beer - odd tasting. There are hints of fruit and wheat flavors but the main flavor is that of the gooseberry (and I can’t say that I’m too fond of this particular berry). Oh well, on to the next one.

Bottled:
Grainy aroma, notes of sourly fruits. Öight hazy, yellow to golden color. Flavor has is light sweet, some fruit, berry and herb notes, but not intensive. Dry finish. I expected more, after reading the ingredients. Sometimes quite tasty, but all in all a bit light bodied and watery.
