Dec 1, 2004 660 ml bottle, picked up the same place tigg got his, Rahman. Lightly cloudy, salmon-mandarin orange color, big quickly dying fizzy white head...sweet strawberry soda aroma seems reminiscent of aspartame...artificial, honeyed and cloying as it warms...watery, lightly fruity, seltzer-water character in the body, nothing beery or malty about it...dry finish. Pretty bad, but I suppose it could be quite old? Then again, it is a fruit beer and this brewery is not the greatest ever...

Apr 22, 2004 Huge strawberry aroma with an underlying bready yeast. Hazy golden body with fizzy white fully-diminishing head. Good malt base with a tart yeast flavour. Fruit could be more assertive but is definitely there. Some sulfur/phenolics also apparent in the finish which seem to build the more you drink. Very high carbonation is perhaps a bit over the top for my taste. Overall, this is my favourite of the Sainte-Paix series. (Note: This beer was marked retired when I sampled it - not sure whether it has been re-issued or whether this is an old bottle but I picked up the bottle yesterday at a local bottle store with a good reputation - Depanneur Rahman). Bottle.
