Dec 29, 2009 Updated: Dec 30, 2009341 mL Bottle sampled Dec 25, 2009. Second assay done on Dec 30, 2009 in a physically different setting. Murky yellow body with a small fast-vanishing fizzy head. Very lively carbonation. The aroma is an astringent bouquet of green grapes, pear, French melon, apple, pineapple, citrus, wildflowers, and cloves. Rich tropical fruit salad-like flavor with lots of cloves in the aftertaste and a cloves and ripe banana-like finish. An acquired taste. Open-minded beer tasters: have a look at this one if you haven’t done so already.

Aug 26, 2009 341 ml bottle from Trappe a Fromage, served at cellar temperature in a tulip glass.
App.: Cloudy deep golden with a fair, loose white froth.
Aroma: Quite yeasty, kinda savoury, fruity, lots of coriander and spice, some floral honey.

Flav.: Doughy yeast, coriander, lightly fruity, slight wheat and hay; reasonably sweet with a little bitterness and a touch of alcohol.
I prefer the Brune, but this is acceptable.

Aug 25, 2009 Leave it to the Canadians to screw up a good brew. I’m kidding. It is a fairly standard Belgian blonde now with a lot of spice. Mint and lemon are most predominant. Not bad, it just isn’t amazing. I enjoy the regular La Chouffe better.

Aug 24, 2009 Pours gold into a tulip. Off-white head quickly crackles and dissipates to hug rim. Sweet caramel and sour yeast aromas. Thin and peppery from front to back. Slight mellow clove in the lasting alcohol finish.

| 3.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 15/20 |
Jul 31, 2009 Pours a hazy and lively golden color with a quickly dissipating white head. It is an effervescent beer with an aroma of citrus, spices, and some yeasty/bready undertones. Has a smooth mouth feel which is offset but not overpowered by a mild attack of spice and alcohol. Finishes clean with pleasant herbal traces lingering on the palate. Easy to drink, and overall a pretty good beer.
