Bottle in Menton, 2006. A blonde beer with a slight amber tinit. Left the yeast in the bottle, but it is still pretty cloudy. Very small head, turning into lace immediately. Strong aroma of fruits and spice—additive, I was told. Smells like red berries, spices, quite sweet, actually, not much malt or hops coming through. Tastes like beer, though, even if it doesn’t quite smell like it. A slightly roasted malt flavor is accompanied by cinnamon. Good hops too, I think. It is a bit sour, from what, I do not know. Not as sweet as I expected. Not as fruity either. It is primarily a heavily spiced blonde almost amber ale? I like it. It is a bit over the top in the spicing, but not at all disgusting. It works, though it relies a bit too much on the flavorings to get it through, not enough malt flavor. Not perfect, not exactly my type, but nice. Better in the summer, I think. One of the best highly-spiced beers I have had.

Bottle. Hazy golden. Big white bubbly head. Aroma is strong. Flower, candy, citrus, perfume. It´s little sourish. Flavor is from perfume, hops, citrus and bananas.

33 cl bottle...pours hazy dark gold accompanied with some floaties and an extra active white head .(i.e. over carbonated, at least two finger). The nose was booming with fruits, yeast and spice. This carried over to the flavor of the beer creating a mix of caramel, apple, toffee, and sweet bread. I’m not sure this was on par with style as it drank more like a Belgian golden ale than an amber ale. Nonetheless, this was a very good beer that I’ll seach for again on my next trip to the French Riviera.

bottle. Hazy golden colour, mediums-ize head. Malty-fruity nose. Very aromatic, malty and hoppy with hints of herbs.
