375 ml bottle. Amber colour.Clear. Small off-white head that clings to the glass. Nice mellow malty aroma with quite a bit of caramel. Light bodied. Beer feels surprisingly light. Great fruity character. Subtle in all respects. Balance is excellent. This one would work really well with food. Not my favorite Liefmans beer, but still this is something of its own. A great beer, but perhaps a little too light?

Dégusté dans un verre chimay. Expiration en janvier 2007 écrit sur le goulot. Bière de couleur or ambré avec dépôt de levure ayant peu de mousse. Odeur de sirop d’érable, pelure d’orange, levure, alcool légère, un peu madérisé, sucre brun, caramel, coulis de mûres et framboises. Goût un peu oxidé mais quand même exellente, elle goûte le gâteau au fruit. Elle manque un peu de goût et de gazéfication, quelque trait de mangue. Bon veillissement avec certain doute sur la qualité de l’entreposage.

Bouteille de 375 ml. Nos yeux observent une bière de couleur cuivrée-dorée et une mousse fauve imposante qui laisse ses traces sur la parois du verre. Notre nez respire des arômes de fruits rouges mûrs, de madère et de caramel. En bouche le corps est mince-moyen avec une effervescence moyenne. On goûte des saveurs de sirop de caramel artificiel, de gâteau aux fruits, de caramel, de pain et de madère.
