Golden coloured with spicy coriander flavours. Hoppy finish. Quevillon (1539), Sainte-Thérèse, Quebec, Canada
| 3.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 15/20 | Jan 26, 2006 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. JonMoore (1562), Loughborough, Leicestershire, England
| 3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 12/20 | Jan 15, 2006 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. jefcon (1009), Arlington, Virginia, USA
| 3.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 13/20 | Jan 2, 2006 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. raymow (738), Bensalem, Pennsylvania, USA
| 2.3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 4/10 | 3/5 | 4/10 | 3/5 | 9/20 | Dec 29, 2005 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.

| 3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 12/20 | Dec 28, 2005 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. oldrtybastrd (1846), Morlautern, Germany/Great Falls, Montana, USA
| 2.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 4/5 | 11/20 | Dec 14, 2005 Pours a mellow golden yellow color. Aromas of bread/fruit/herbs. I’m getting some berry flavor with a hint of smoke and something grainy. I expected more flavor after having the Elderberry brew. BSmith83 (8), Flushing, Michigan, USA does not count | 4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 18/20 | Dec 12, 2005 The color is golden with a huge head, the flavor is slightly sweet but very hard to describe (gooseberries?). Overall it was a very tasty ale and would for sure try again.
