Li Berwette

Brewed by Brasserie Saint-Monon
Style: Amber Ale
Ambly, Belgium

Bottle, 33 cl. Find this beer @ Geers. Hazy amber color, with a big white head. Aroma little hops, some sourness. Medium body. Taste fruit, light sour, bit yeast, and a some old taste in it.

Gushing as hell, yet head gone in secs; fully muddy, mossy-brown beer. Lightly sourish, quite spicy nose, spicy bread/gingerbread, cypress. Lightly smoked taste, very light acidity with background spices. Sweetish-sourish, very little or no bitterness, despite the spices. Slightly spritzy, restrained slickness, light to medium bodied. Remarkable. All signs indicate an undeniable infection. And yet - I must confess to be rather taken in it. Thanks to Ignace for the bottlewatch!

33cl, from De Hopduvel Gent, not complex brew, not balanced, cloudy, small head, nothing special

Bottled. Hazy orange colour, small white head. Aroma is sour fruits and some sour berries. Flavour is sour berries and some slight wheaty notes. A pleasantly balanced brew.

Darker amber coloured cloudy beer with a medium head. The aroma is quite hoppy. The taste is light sour with hints of fruit.

Bottled (BB 05/2007)
Hazy ruby, small tanned head. Sweetish, malty and sugary aroma. Medium-bodied. Yeasty, sugary sweet and sweetish aftertaste but drinkable.

Which is thus taste? After some reflexions, yes in fact the bitter orange barks give this characteristic taste. Although it is drunk easily, it is necessary to be wary of these 8° bus although discrete, after some glasses, they are pointed out. A very pleasant artisanal beer.
