Mort Subite Xtreme Manzana

Brewed by Mort Subite (Alken-Maes / Scottish & Newcastle)
Style: Lambic - Fruit
Kobbegem, Belgium

clear golden-amber colour, fine head; strong overwhelming aroma of green apples; very sweet; long aftertaste of ... can you guess what ? right: green apples - one-dimensional apple soda without any beer character; a shame ! it’s a pity that people are no more burnt on the marketplace nowadays ... Though I fear they would not be enough places for all those marketing assholes who design such horrors.

Golden color with white foamy head. Smell of apple cider. Tingly apple flavor with a smooth beer finish.

Clear blond colour, average white head. Light sprankling. Very sweet appel like aroma, more artificial. medium body, some carbonation. Some artificial appel taste. Finish is sweet, with some strange sour hints. Not the best balans. Has more of a fruit juice than a fruit beer.

Bottled (BB 06/2006)
Pale golden color, small white head. Strong aroma of green apples - similar to Lindemans Apple. Watery, very carbonated, hints of apples and sweet saccarine flavor. To be avoided.

I like the aroma. Fresh apples, grape sugar and lemon. The flavor is less appealing. Sugary sweet with some artificial apple juice and a saccharine-like bitterness in the aftertaste. Where is the lambic??

Clear oily beer, with a small white disappearing head. It has a very sweet apple aroma, no maltness or hop could be smelled. It has an extremely sweet flavour, like a glass of apple juice with a cup of sugar poured in. Some very light bitterness and hints of wheat, nearly completely hidden by the bad apple taste.

Very high snow-white head, fed by lively carbonation from a clear & pale gold beer. Concentrated apple ester, ending in marked rhubarb. (Very) sweet undercurrent in the nose already. Absolutely disgusting apple "flavour". There’s some faraway mint flavour, something vaguely bitter, probably the beer struggling against drowning fataly in the morass of horribly sweet syrupester quicksand. Light texture, cloying sweet MF. OUCH! Can there really be anybody loving this?
