This one's another sample from a different sale-rep. Comes in handy, because I don't really reach for the fruit beers that often, especially if I've already had them. First tried this one in May of 2005, here are those notes:
Beautiful pale peach color, massive head, thick and fluffy, slow to diminish...very likeable.
Enticing aromatics! It's a subtle mix of currant, a whiff of peach and apricot, all abetted by wheaty characteristics. A delicate fruit blend, and delicious.
Taste: a brisk bite at the front, tart for a touch, a blast of cool berry and grape, then all is mellow...very light currant flavor, more dainty than I expected...
...thought I had a wallop coming my way, but it's a dainty little dance on the tongue. Medium to light in body, tasty, tangy mouthfeel, softly evaporating finish...very nice. a sophisticated sipper, a sublime substitute for dessert when chocolates and such are not appropriate.
Chill and share with the significant other for a romantic evening...
I really, for some reason, expected a humdinger in this bottle, a slap-yo'mama kind of "Belgian beer"...not what they present, and who gives a darn, it's gorgeous just the way it is...sumptuous, serene...divine.
