A copper coloured beer with a creamy head that settles into a thin white foam layer.

Smell of cloves and a little sulfur. The malt adds a nice dextrinous maltiness. Hints of candisugar.

Taste is actually pretty bland. The listed ingredients say corn, inverted sugar and coloring agent, so that sums it all up. There is a light malty taste with strong candisugar notes. Bitterness is almost absent. The yeast adds a little fruity taste and some light clove. Considering the ingredients not the worst brew.

Pours a hazy orange-ish to amber color with a small white head. In the aroma, sour and yeasty. In the taste, a mall yeast presence and a nice small hop as well. A small hop bite and medium bodied mouthfeel, with a small dry candy sugar in the aftertaste. More sour in the nose, but more an amber ale in the taste, it's alright.

This is a nice regional beer. I found it in a village café in the village where I live. It’s one of those beers from a small local brewery that was bought by Interbrew. They closed the brewery down, but (for the moment) the brand and the beer has survived.
I have done some research, but didn’t get far. Information on the origin has been hard to find.

I bought a Horse-Ale chalice to have this beer from. It gave a bit of a sparkling head, but it disappeared immediately.
The colour is golden amber and transparent. There is some carbonation.
A fruity smell, oranges. And fresh spices. Hop and malt.
The taste is very soft or mild. Fresh oranges, bananas, dades,… fresh hop and soft caramal malt.
Aftertaste is very full: soft fruity and malty. Quite sweet notes.
In all a flabbergasting aroma.

A great beer! I just can’t believe this brewer was ever taken over…

Ut Vivat, Crescat, Floreat!
