At Festival Bières et Saveurs Sept. 2005. A one shot deal. Red copper ale with no head. Malt grain and grassy aroma. Sweet malt in mouth, with sharp German hops. Like a Vienna but less nutty than expected. Medium bodied. Still, a decent beer.

The Lure:
Roasted grain and fruity esters escape an apparently lifeless vehicle. Pils yeast is perceived, and seems early into the lagering process.

The Festivities:
Complex hop bitterness surprises as none was felt prior to sipping. Grainy malt fruitiness roams within, alongside subtle caramel and roastiness. Body is thin, but there is a nice flavor interplay going on, there are definitely some good ideas in here, just not mature yet.

Transcendence:
The first falling leaves disappoint, but a few more on the ground could soon create a beautiful panorama.

Robe rousse surmontée d’une mousse blanche fugace. Arômes légers de caramel et de noix. Saveurs de malt caramélisé. Houblon de soutien.
