resinous, wood, caramel and licorice; sticky, full-bodied, strong sweetness, partially balanced by a late and fair bitterness; long warming finish with more notes of caramel and pine needles - has definitely improved with age but it is not as good as a 7 years old Samichlaus from Hürlimann (4/8/7/4/16)
2003 vintage sampled in february 2004 - clear pale amber colour (each new vintage looks paler than the precedent !), almost no foam, strong aroma of plum with some alcohol notes, incredibly sweet and thick, oily, long warming alcohol finish - much better than other young vintages
(3/6/6/3/13)
2002 vintage sampled january 2004 - clear amber colour (strangely pale indeed in comparison with other vintages), no foam, strong nose of malt, alcohol and prune, the whole thing remembers me of soy sauce, very sweet and very oily, sirupy with a powerfull malt, alcohol and cognac-like finish - brutal and chaotic, not at maturation
(5/3/4/2/7)
2001 vintage sampled may 2003 - clear reddish-brown colour, almost no foam, bready, alcohol and dark fruits aroma, immensely sweet, very oily and heavy, explosive alcoholic, sugary and sirupy finish, chaotic and unbalanced - should have a "best after" instead of a "best before" date; wait at least 3 more years with this vintage
(6/3/4/2/7)
2000 vintage sampled in december 2000 - I hope Oakes will not be too much disappointed ...I tasted it blind together with a 1996 Samichlaus from Hurlimann. The difference is enormous and I understand now better why young vintages from this beer are not really loved (since 8 years, it was the first time I tried a vintage younger than 3 years).The colour of this one is much lighter and not so intense. Its aroma is the only interesting side: it has a molasses nose with a hint of strawberry (the 1996 is more complex). The flavour is quite disgusting: much too sweet, siruppy, astringent, aggressive with an acid aftertaste.So please: don’t touch this beer until it is aged minimum 3 years !

It has an horrible cloudy, dirty, brown colour with absolutely no foam. It has a strong aroma of cocoa mixed with slime, stagnant water and subtle notes of dog's shit. Ok, this was for the better part of this beer... The flavour ? the first impression is: overcarbonated, but this fact does not matter for long because what comes just after is inhuman: it has an horrible, artificial sweeties and perfume-like taste with a too long aftertaste of sewer. Awful and revolting. Defining the characteristics of this stuff is a real challenge because every sip is a torture. This has only been brewed to give a new meaning to the word "worst".

my thanks to Papsoe for this beer - the beer is nervously foaming out of the bottle at the opening, pouring a cloudy dark amber-orange colour under a persistent beige head; subtle honeyish aroma; very creamy mouthfeel, rounded; the strong sweetness is nicely balanced (although only partially) by a touch of acidity and a fairly bitterness, the whole thing maintained by a good maltiness; the finish is long and very aromatic with more honeyish tones and some undefined fruits - certainly one-dimensional but deeply pleasant
amber colour, almost no head, vinous, weak aroma, spicy, alcohol flavors, tart with a dry and short finish
clear and pale golden colour with a fine head; the aroma is strongly corny and the hops are missing; sweet and with a moderate malt body; a hint of finishing bitterness and an herbal touch lost among the corns is by far not enough to make of this brew something interesting

my beer #3000 ! - A over T stands for "aroma over Tongham" and the label promises "an orgy of aroma" - dark red-brown colour, the initial head quickly reduces to a fine foam, prune comfit, bready and peppery aroma with some alcohol notes, oily and very sweet, syrupy with a late aggressiv bitterness, the finish is dry and malty with a very strong and heavy alcohol presence - it has some bad analogies with Thomas Hardy's Ale and it doesn't work for me.

pale golden and clear in colour, the initial foam instantly disappears; the aroma is a mix of alcohol, cane sugar and solvent, sweet (very !) and oily in the mouth, a good malt body, thick and viscous, sugary and warming alcohol finish - a perfect fuel for alcoholics !

july 2003 - hazy blond-orange colour, dense fine head, apricot and corn aroma, slightly sweet with a good malt body, dry and subtle honeyish aftertaste - refreshing and with some subtility but could afford a little bit more character - supposed to be a pilsner but it is not true to the style

cloudy red-orange colour, the initial foam quickly disappears, estery nose, orangezest with notes of other red fruits, a bit bubblegum-like, overcarbonated with a light to medium body, acidic with some bitterness in the finish, very dry finish which shows some diacetyl notes - one more chaotic beer from this more than dubious brewery

cloudy dark red-amber colour with a giant creamy head and a beautiful lace, bubblegum-like aroma of prune, malt and alcohol (malt extract ?), very smooth and carbonated with an earthy, malty finish - strong character but a little bit artificial and unbalanced in a wrong way
dark colour with a fine brown tainted head, strong bitter coffee aroma with some notes of vinegar, very tart, overcarbonated and sour, the finish is bitter, sour and coffeeish - a very strange brewery indeed, brewing beers with a lot of character but chaotic and with some mistakes; the potentiel is present anyway

Anyway, let's take a look: bright clear golden colour, very few foam, aroma of orange, sweeties-like with strong alcohol notes, sweet and very oily, heavy malty alcohol finish - deeply unbalanced, disgusting and not drinkable; too bad this is made from a swiss recipe :-(

courtesy of Pascal Sauser; thank you, Pascal, I’ll never forget this one!
ok guys, forget about Florisgarden Chocolat or whatever you had until now which was really bad: THIS is serious stuff.
The bottom of this bottle contains solid chocolate and I’m not talking about traces: it was about 1/3 of the content. Appearance? ever seen a container full of shit? then it is exactly what it looks like. So incredible that my friend Laurent Mousson catched his camera to immortalize this unique moment. This made the fact that this beer has the fastest disappearing head ever, a ridiculous anectode.
It took us about 10 minutes to stop laughing, taking pictures and then worked up the courage to sniff and take a sip of this incredible mixture. It has a terrible lactic and acidic nose which succeed to put the chocolate in the background; medium-bodied and very acidic (how the fuck can you spoil a 10% beer that bad ?!?) this stuff goes beyond any description and it’s not possible for me to taste more.
If you think you have tasted the worst beer in the world, forget about it and try this one (but check your life insurance first).
My deepest thanks go to the Brasseurs Savoyards for this unforgettable moment.

And for a reason I ignore, they have now downgraded the Belzebuth to (only) 13% - golden-orange colour, few head, a good balance between alcohol and spices in the nose, oily and sweet, the finish is spicy, very long with a strong alcohol presence - I don't notice any differences with the old version (except the fact I don't like it so much now)
clear amber colour, nice creamy head and beautiful lace, complex aroma (alcohol, spices, cellar, apple), smooth and sweet with a long bitter alcohol and fruity finish

from le Village de la Bière, Strasbourg - pours a clear bronze colour under a solid and long lasting, slightly beige head; aroma of cork, pear and dust; notes of hay and esters; sweet and medium to full malt backbone; thw finish is smooth and fruity with lot of estery notes, residual sugars and a touch of warming alcohol

Something are the french really good at: producing very bad lager beers ... This stuff is only to drink when you are out of drinkable water.

cloudy amber-brown colour, fine dense head, malt and red fruits in the nose, interesting notes of cheese, medium-bodied, slightly acidic with a lot of carbonation, the finish is dry and quite short - character and some originality but it has something wrong I can't define

copper colour, creamy head, yeasty, ginger bread aroma, smooth and full, some sourness with a long bread-like aftertaste

distributed by SNC SCA BNA, this beer has the particularity to be 6th in my 'worst beers of the world' ranking - clear golden-yellow colour with few head, totally disgusting aroma of carton and garbage, overcarbonated and tart with a brutal dry plastic finish. And the label says: 'brewed with the best malts and hops ... long tradition ... well-balanced and fresh'. One point less for not telling about the fact that this stuff is not intented for human consumption.

hazy blond-orange colour with just some bubbles on the side of the glass; very spicy nose (ginger, cloves?) with orange and yeasty notes; the overcarbonation almost hides succesfully the modest malt body, the finish is very dry with harsh bready and spicy notes - marshmallowish and unkind

I have to confess something: this beer was brought to me in 1992 by someone who was in Leningrad for holidays. I have tried it with another friend and we were unable to drink it. The look and the taste of the beer were really horrible, it looked like a wheat beer but there were some strange things moving in the bottle and none of us was hurried to take the first sip !! I'm not sure if this was the original taste or if the beer was altered. Got to give this beer a second chance...

reddish colour, few head, toffy and slightly smokey aroma, nice bitterness, dry finish

This is supposed to be a glühbeer and I always like to test those kind of beers first cold and then hot. The colour is red-amber. While cold, it has absolutely no foam, a very deep and complex (which does not mean: good) aroma (clove, cinnamon, perfumy, licorice), it is really incredibly sweet, it's also, heavy and slightly oily; should I mention disgusting ? Getting it warm, gives it a fine head, the temperature also reduces the complexity of the nose, it remaind a deep clove aroma, the sweetness is still not human - this beer would kill a diabetic in 3 seconds ... and the others in not much more time - this is my 7th worst beer ever tasted
golden colour, very parfumed aroma, dry aftertaste
clear pale yellow colour, almost no foam, notes of lemon in a very discreet aroma, sweet and medium-bodied, notes of alcohol in a (too) long metallic finish - deeply unpleasant

from Locher and labelled Birra da Risclear and bright golden colour with a solid irregular white head made of big bubbles; nice lace; light corny, grainy aroma; slightly sweet, medium-bodied at best; the palate is a bit harsh; it finishes quite dry with more corny notes - poor
11/2006: under the name Birra di Riso Ticinese; brewed using rice from Ticino, brewer unknown - clear and very pale golden-yellow colour; stable white head and a nice lacing; the aroma is grainy with a hint of fat aromatic hoppiness; mild and sweet palate, a light tartness does not avoid this beer to be a little bit heavy; the finish is short and corny - I would also recommend fine food with this beer, so you will be less aware of what is in your glass ...

clear golden colour, little unregular foam, fat grassy aroma, sweet, medium to full-bodied, light late bitterness, the finish is oily and malty - quite unpleasant
brewed for ILEAS AG, Volketswil - clear golden colour and a big creamy head; a light aromatic hoppiness, sweet with a clean malt profile, medium-bodied with a touch of finishing bitterness - very swiss by all means: well-made and boring
a supermarket beer (Manor) brewed by ?? - pale golden colour, few head, skunky, notes of paperboard, medium-bodied, neutral with a slightly dry finish
pours a hazy copper-amber colour under a solid creamy white head; moderate aroma of caramel, biscuit and cream with flowery notes in the background; initially sweet, a respectable malt body supported by a good carbonation; low bitterness; the finish is quite dry and astringent while the malty tones persist for some time - a good session beer (don't drink it too cold)
draught - clear bronze colour with a little white foam; gently flowery and aromatic nose with a touch of solvent; medium-bodied, rounded and quite dry; decent bitterness, dry and decently hoppy finish with some fruity notes - pleasant and easy
courtesy of Allen - pours a cloudy golden-blond colour with a persistent birght white head; nice lace; fresh grassy nose with aromatic hops; respectable malt body, fizzy palate and with a decent bitterness and a light astringency; finishes quite dry and grassy with lingering hop presence and citric tones underneath - pretty good but I’m quite sure this is a relabelled Kellerfrisch
recipe by the contract brewer "Augenbrauerei" in Biel/Bienne - pours a hazy amber colour under a solid, persistent foam; a robust herbal hoppiness with some light fruity tones underneath (cherry, grape); a medium malt backbone, a solid bitterness takes the power and persists very long, lasting for a long time after you are finished with your beer; more strong herbal notes are met in the aftertaste - a nice beer which is hard to categorize (a sort of crossover between a pils and an IPA)
hazy golden-blond colour with a rocky white head; nice lace; light grapefruity aroma with notes of almonds; rather high carbonation; medium to full-bodied; it ends with a decent bitterness and some tartness; the hoppy and malty notes join together in a dry finish

pours a cloudy orange colour with a fine beige head; hay and corny aroma with moderate banana notes; good malt body, some sweetness and a touch of tart acidity, some residual sweetness in an average banana finish - a solid and never cloying weizen
light hazy golden colour, few foam with big bubbles, fat aromatic hoppiness, crisp, sweet, clean malt body, slightly oily with a moderate malty finish - a well-made, above average lager
from Coop - clear and bright amber beer with a little chaotic foam left; shy aroma of caramel and flowers; medium-bodied and slightly astringent; some harsh bitterness; hints of red fruits and flowery hops in a short finish - meaningless
brewed for the supermarket Carrefour - clear bright golden colour, fine dense head with a nice lace, light aromatic hoppiness, smooth and medium-bodied, sweet, low bitterness, the finish is moderate and malty - well-made, neutral and boring: no doubts, this is a swiss beer !
courtesy of Philipp Sigg and Thomas Schneider - clear dark amber colour with a little chaotic beige foam left; aroma of herbs and caramel; medium-bodied and pretty neutral palate; low bitterness; the finish is quite long with gentle herbal notes - nothing to do with a bock and very modest

clear pale golden colour, fine head, medium-hoppiness with notes of orange, crisp, sweet, fresh, dry light bitter finish (4/6/5/3/12)
courtesy of Philipp Sigg and Thomas Schneider - clear and very pale golden colour with a white and persistent foam; shy notes of corn and banana in a deeply boring nose; thin to medium malt body and tasteless; no bitterness and a short aftertaste of metal and corn - a pathetic attempt to brew a top fermented beer from one of the worst brewery in the country; and who knows: it is maybe intended to be a Kölsch?

tap - cloudy amber-brown colour with a firm and creamy head; nice lace, aroma of wet corn, very modest hoppiness; harsh and tart mouthfeel, medium malt body, astringent; the finish is quite dry and short with more corny notes - unhospitable

draught@brewpub - pours a cloudy dark brown colour with a little beige foam left; nice lacework; shy flowery hoppy notes with some malty tones behind; a fair astringency, medium-bodied and with an unclean bitterness; short and quite dry astringent and biting flowery finish - the brewer takes his bad habits again and is serving his beer too young
draught@brewpub - pours a murky brown colour with a long lasting creamy beige foam; nice lacework; the aroma shows a solid flowery hoppiness; very biting astringency in the palate, medium-bodied; most of its solid bitterness comes very soon on the tongue; moderately dry and bitter flowery finish with some malty and dark fruity notes - this potentially interesting beer shows perfectly the recurrent problem of this brewery: the beers are offered too young
cloudy copper coloured with a little stable beige foam; decent smokey aroma with caramel and ashes in the background; respectable malt body; some sweetness and a solid tart astringence; moderate bitterness; dry and short tart finish with persistent smokey notes - doesn’t look to be at maturation
draught - slightly hazy golden-amber colour, persistent little foam; medium aromatic hoppiness showing mainly herbal notes; high carbonation for a medium to full malt body; robust astringent bitterness; dry and short herbal finish - not bad at all though a bit too rough; the influence of the new brewmaster seems to be positive

very dark brown colour with a fine creamy brown tainted head and a nice lace; aroma of milch and chocolate, sweet, medium-bodied at best; low bitterness, slightly toasted in the finish; aftertaste of butter and mocha - lacking of character but not bad at all
draught@brewpub - hazy golden-blond under a fair presistent bright white foam; superb lacework; a solid herbal and earthy hempy aroma, light notes of honey hidden below, medium-bodied and quite astringent, very dry and pretty bitter with a long aftertaste of hemp, herbs and light fruity notes; fizzy - pretty good
draught@brewpub - cloudy bronze-orange beer with a little beige foam left; correct lacework; solid corny aroma, earthy with shy notes of cherries in the background; medium-bodied and highly carbonated, sweet and slightly tart; the notes of cherries remain pretty shy in a long yeasty and wheaty finish

draught@brewpub - cloudy copper-red with a little persistent beige foam; nice lacework; a gentle aromatic flowery hoppiness with hints of caramel; medium-bodied and slightly creamy mouthfeel, some astringency and with a moderate dry bitterness; quite long flowery hoppy finish - not bad at all though would have taken profit of some more lagering

draught@brewpub - hazy copper-bronze beer under a persistent creamy head; nice lacework; a respectable flowery hoppiness dominates the nose; full-bodied and gently sweet, moderate bitterness and pretty dry; slightly stick and with a fair and subtle carbonation long malty finish with a solid aromatic flowery hoppiness - very drinkable
draught@brewpub - slightly hazy reddish-pink beer under a creamy pinkish head; a bit dusty with shy flowery notes, medium-bodied and fairly carbonated; light initial tartness before a creamy palate; a respectable bitternessintroduces more flowery notes in a dry finish - uneven but interesting
draught@brewpub - fully cloudy pale honeyish in colour and with a firm and long lasting bright white foam; nice lacework; the aroma is fruity (apples come to mind) with well-integrated notes of cinnamon; medium malt backbone; some sweetness and tartness; no bitterness to mention; fresh and fruity finish with more notes of cinnamon - interesting, surprisingly refreshing and quite pleasant
cloudy pale brown colour, few head, aroma not distinctive, too much carbonation, sweet and grainy, dry and tart finish - a bad move from the Altes Tramdepot
red-brown colour, big head, corn and toffee aroma, tart with a long spicy finish
09/24/2004: hazy orange colour, nice creamy head and a correct lacing, citrusy notes, peanuts, tart bitterness and very astringent, medium-bodied, the finish is quite dry and malty - quite hard to drink; the beers of this brewpub are really just the shadow of what they were once ...

brown colour, big creamy head, beautiful lace, diacetyl notes, low on hops, buttery and slightly floral, lot of carbonation, sweet, medium-bodied, tart with an unpleasant metallic aftertaste - not even close to the style
ruby colour, fine head, caramel aroma, very sweet, malty, short aftertaste
orange colour, fine head, deep hoppy nose, fruity (orange and grapefruit) and floral, slightly acid, full-bodied, dry bitter finish - very nice
cloudy golden colour, few head, slightly toasted aroma, some acidity, pleasant aftertaste
draught - cloudy golden-orange colour with a little foam; robust aromatic hoppiness showing flowery and herbal notes; medium but elusive malt body though a bit heavy to drink; solid bitterness; dry and long bitter hoppy finish staying in the herbal tones - good but closer to a pils than an IPA
light amber colour, fine head, spicy, slight chocolate aroma, fresh, orange aftertaste, well-structured
draught@brewpub - pours a brown colour with a reddish hue, little beige foam left; the nose is gently toasted with flowery and caramelish notes; medium-bodied and with a fair astringency; quite dry and short malty and caramelish aftertaste - modest but far better than the Helles and the Weizen presented the same day
cloudy orange colour, nice head, corn and orange aroma, quite complex, herbal, dry
draught - hazy golden-amber colour, fine creamy white-beige head and a nice lacing; very flowery nose with some caramel in the background; medium-bodied and sweet, rather low carbonation; very low (if any) bitterness; residual sugars in the aftertaste along with more flowery notes - ok
draught - clear and dark reddish-amber colour with a persistent creamy beige head; the nose is oily and shows notes of red fruits with some flowery touches; medium-bodied and with a good balance between the sweetness and a fair bitterness; finishes quite dry and a little bit short with more notes of red fruits (strawberries come to mind) - after all this time, this brewpub is worth a visit again !
cloudy red-brown colour, nice lace, herbal aroma, slightly spicy
very dark brown colour, small brown tainted head, malty, caramel nose, slightly sweet with a late bitterness, short dry caramel finish; a modest roastiness shows up while the beer is getting warmer - not much character
draught@brewpub - clear golden colour with a little white foam; gently grassy with light citrusy touch, astringent and quite aggressive palate, medium-bodied, very dry and bitter, herbal and light corny and crisp finish - a biting beer, not that easy to drink but fairly well brewed
bright and clear golden colour, the initial head quickly disappears, haye and a decent herbal/grassy hoppiness in the nose, tart and effervescent, medium-bodied at best, very dry bitter finish, astringent and leaving unpleasant flavour in the mouth - hard to drink and full of mistakes ?/2004 3/5/4/2/6)
very dark brown colour, nice head, fine lace, coffee and herbal aroma, smooth, quite malty, long bitter aftertaste
red-brown colour, nice head, caramel, malty and floral aroma, thin body with a late malt quick, slightly effervescent, some finishing bitterness
amber-brown colour, big head, nice lace, corn aroma with metal notes, tart and overcarbonated, dry finish with a strong blood presence - one more beer from the Altes Tramdepot which is not at maturation; sad, very sad ...
cloudy dark brown colour, few head, nice lace, hay and buttery aroma with notes of blood, tart and astringent with a thin malt body, dry unpleasant finish - what's up here ? Is it so difficult to bring a beer at maturation ?
draught - slightly hazy bronze-colour with a fine but firm pale beige foam; nice lacing; subtle herbal and vanilla aroma, good malt body, the sweetness is balanced by a fair tartness; slightly oily; the finish is fizzy and moderately dry with fair notes of vanilla and a touch of orange peel - a good one
Whow ! we now have a trappist brewery in Switzerland :-) - reddish in colour with few foam but a nice lacing, candy sugar in the nose, flowery with some hints of metal, astringeant, sweet, soda-like impression, the finish is moderately malty with an unpleasant rancid touch - another unmatured and bad-made beer from this brewery.
draught@brewpub - hazy golden-bronze beer with a little long lasting white foam; nice lace; a respectable flowery and fruity hoppiness though the aroma seems to be a bit restrained; medium-bodied and tasty with a fair biting astringency; long bitter flowery hoppy finish - quite green but interesting
courtesy of Julien Sarrasin - light gusher at the opening ... very very foamy; a dark bordeaux-brown beer appears under a huge long lasting creamy beige foam; a nice lacework; a fair aroma of banana, cream and cloves; a subtle but fair carbonation leaves a quite velvety palate, medium-bodied, some initial sweetness before a tart acidic spiciness; long notes of cloves in the finish, the banana tones stay this time in the background along with some welcomed hint of chocolate - lot of character and pretty well-made but maybe a bit too heavy
courtesy of Julien Sarrasin - pours a cloudy dark orange colour with absolutely no foam left; a fair fruity nose (blood oranges and starfruit come to mind), notes of cinnamon; a moderate carbonation and a medium malt body, pretty acidic palate; the acidity takes control of the long fruity finish - shows some interest but looks pretty uncontrolled to me
courtesy of Allen - hazy amber-bronze colour with absolutely no foam left; fairly aromatic nose with notes of spices, almonds and herbs; medium-bodied and very tasty, some late bitterness, quite dry herbal and spicy finish - a very good and freely interpreted Pilsener
courtesy of Allen - pours a cloudy dark reddish-amber beer with a persistent light beige head; malty aroma of walnut and cornflakes; sweet and decently robust malt backbone; solidly carbonated and with a fair astringency, tasty palate; a light bitter finish, malty and caramelish with more nutty notes - another good beer from this brewery

from the brewery in Arlesheim - hazy dark blond in colour and with a huge persistent white foam; aroma of yeast, lemongrass and almonds; creamy mouthfeel and a moderate malt body; some sweetness and almost no bitterness; yeasty and almondy finish - pretty drinkable
from the brewery in Arlesheim - hazy reddish-amber colour with a long lasting creamy beige foam; decently smokey with notes of flowers caramel reminding of Lowland whiskies; soft and velvety palate, a light sweetness and a late moderate tartness, more smokey malt tones in a dry caramelish and flowery finish - subtle and very nicely made!
from the brewery in Arlesheim - cloudy dark ruby-brown in colour with a fair long lasting beige foam; aroma of banana, grapefruits and earthy malts; medium-bodied and pretty tasty, a light acidity and a fair carbonation; long malty and fruity finish - lot of character and very pleasant
hazy orange coloured with absolutely no foam; aroma of peach and old apple; the carbonation is absent, sweet and medium-bodied with a flat fruity finish - bad but it’s the most drinkable beer from the 3 I’ve sampled from this dubious brewery
pours a cloudy orange/reddish colour with a little foam; solid raspberry nose with some cane sugar notes; the carbonation just briefly hides the high sweetness; very moderate malt body; long and very sugary finish where tons of more raspberrey notes are met - barely drinkable
cloudy orangeish coloured, absolutely no foam; strong aroma of overmatured fruits (lychees, apple), notes of cinnamon; no carbonation, terribly sweet; the aftertaste is sweetish with more notes of apple and cane sugar - very dubious and without any beer character
clear pale amber colour, little firm head, some malty notes, sweet and medium-bodied, moderate malty finish - modest and boring
clear pale golden colour, fine firm head, fresh and discrete floral hoppiness, some notes of vanilla, sweet with an average malt body, no bitterness at all, the finish is short and weak
clear and pale golden colour with a moderate whote foam, gentle peanutty aroma with notes of corn, moderate malt body, the sweetness is balanced by some tartness, a shy bitterness introduces a quite dry finish where traces of aromatic hops can be detected with some imagination - acceptable but reason to have a Fest
dark brown colour, nice head, toffy aroma, buttery, lack of character
bottled version, brewed by Baar - clear amber colour, big creamy head, floral hoppiness, some buttery notes, sweet with a very creamy mouthfeel, light bitterness and some notes of caramel in the finish

courtesy of Philipp Sigg and Thomas Schneider - clear and pale golden colour with a moderate white foam left; a fair aromatic hoppiness, slightly oily and herbal; pretty sweet and medium malt backbone, subtle but fair carbonation; a decent hop presence in a moderately bitter finish - very pleasant
from the brewery’s shop in Baar - pale and very clear golden beer with a poor head retention; oily and spicy aromatic hoppiness; fizzy and medium-bodied, very low bitterness but some tartness and pretty dry; shirt oily grassy aftertaste with more spicy notes - drinkable
from the brewery shop in Baar - translucide golden beer with a little white foam left; slightly corny with an oily grassy aroma; moderate malt backbone, quite sweet and with almost no bitterness, quite sweet and with almost no bitterness; creamy palate and slightly dry; soft and vaguely aromatic finish - insignificant but nothing totally wrong here
bottled version, brewed by Baar - slightly hazy golden-blond colour under a fine white head; aroma of nougat and paper; smooth and rather on the sweet side; the finish is moderately dry with more notes of nougat - an astonishing good beer from Baar
re-rated 7/2010; from Bierhütte - clear golden in colour and with a decent foam left; some oily grassy hoppiness in the nose; sweet and oily on the tongue; medium malt backbone, grassy and lightly almondy finish - inelegant

pale golden colour, big head, fresh hop aroma, slightly dry
honey colour, no head, few hop aroma, full-bodied, orange, slightly dry finish
clear ruby-brown colour, the initial head quickly reduces leaving practically no foam, bubblegum-like aroma, notes of malt and caramel, thin-bodied, sweet, soapy, plastic-like malty finish - insufficiant
reddish-brown colour, beautiful head, impressive floral and caramel aroma, creamy, full and slightly bitter, dry finish - I'm not a great fan of altbier but I found this one pretty good. The brewmaster told me that he still has to learn a lot about this style, that's probably the reason why I liked it ...
re-rate 05/18/02: (one year old bottle) The sweetness is now balanced by a nice bitterness. It shows a powerful alcohol presence. - 04/02/02: Dark brown colour, few head, nice lace, impressive aroma: dark fruits and hoppy with notes of licorice and a touch of caramel; the flavour does not live up to its aroma and lacks of balance (this beer is probably too young), very sweet; the finish is dry and long with notes of alcohol - warming and showing a great potentiel (I really would like to try it in 3-5 years) but lacks of balance right now.

very dark colour, fine lace, nice fruity aroma, full-bodied, lot of character, long berry aftertaste
a test made only with Cascade hops, this beer is a sort of bottom fermented IPA - bronze colour, giant head, deep fruity (mango and apricot) and floral nose, smooth, extremly bitter, lot of character, infinite bitter and floral aftertaste - you can forget about being able to taste something else after this one ! - this beer is not really about balance but I love it !
very dark colour, few head, bitter chocolate aroma with herbal notes, full-bodied, slightly tart, long dry bitter finish
almost black colour, few foam, lactic and buttery nose, toasted, sweet and thin-bodied with a dry, long bitter and light flowery finish - subtle and complex

hazy reddish-brown colour with almost no foam remaining; the fruity side comes first with notes of pear and cherry bubblegum; then, honey clearly appears with a touch of alcohol in the background; oily and strongly sweet with a rather low carbonation; very low bitterness; the finish is quite long showing more bubblegummy fruitiness and with a decently warming alcohol touch - rather close to something like La Trappe Quadruppel, but unfortunately for Martin Wartmann, this is not really a compliment in my mouth ...
courtesy of Philipp and Thomas - dark black in colour and with a robust foamy beige head; nice lacework, roasted aroma of mocha with hints of vanilla, medium-bodied and with a hint of sourness, quite creamy palate; light nutty tones in a long coffeish and roasted aftertaste
courtesy of Philipp and Thomas; brewed with heather - dark copper-blond beer under a huge foamy pale beige head; the aroma is green, dusty and restrained; medium-bodied and slightly sourish; an astringent bitterness and a dry flowery and vegetable-like finish - does not work for me
courtesy of Philipp and Thomas - hazy dark amber-red colour with no foam left; aroma of citrus, undefined red fruits an decently spicy; chewy malts and esters; low carbonation and moderate malt body, a touch of acidity and a hint of sweetness; more gentle fruity and spicy notes in the aftertaste - subtle and charming
cloudy orange-blond colour with very little foam remaining; decent hoppy aroma with notes of pear/apricot, almonds and alcohol; full-bodied, oily and sticky mouthfeel; sweet and bitter, moderately long finish with more notes of fruits and almonds and some residual sweetness - rather hard to categorize (some sort of hybrid between a malt liquor and an IPA); a beer which tries but not really succeeds
hazy bronze-amber colour with a persistent off-white head, correct lacing, aroma of cinnamon, hay and pine needles, solid but very subtle carbonation, moderate sweetness, long earthy and spicy finish, quite dry - an interesting and well-made beer
courtesy of Philipp Sigg - hazy pale straw in colour, little white foam left; aroma of curaçao, honey and orange peels; velvety mouthfeel, medium-bodied; some late tart acidity, slightly dry finish with more spicy notes - subtle and pretty nice
pours a hazy very dark brown almost black colour with a very little dark beige foam but a correct lacing; deep and pure aroma of black chocolate and cocoa; medium and regular malt body, quite sweet but a late sourness brings an interesting balance; the palate stops brutally and finishes quite dry leaving nothing but cocoa notes in the mouth - a very nice beer but a bit too one-dimensional to be really great; the alcohol is not apparent
ok, here is the last child of Martin Wartmann - it pours a hazy bright dark orange colour; a little and shy foam remains; the aroma shows a nice play between fruits (citrus, orange peel and banana) and spices (cinnamon and cardamom); full-bodied, thick and a bit sticky; the moderate carbonation and the late acidic tartness are insufficient to balance the heavy sweetness of this beer; long fruity finish where the spices stay in the background; some residual sweetness; the relative high alcohol content is not really apparent - a good beer, no question, but I advise you to eat something with it because the high sweetness tends to make it cloying after one glass
slightly hazy dark amber colour, fine head, notes of peanuts and orange, sweet and creamy with a medium body, the finish is quite malty and slightly dry - another well-made brew from this brewery
hazy amber-orange colour, fine creamy head, subtle honeyish tones, sweet and medium-bodied, slightly oily with a touch of finishing sourness, the finish is moderately malty, flowery and honeyish - subtle but could afford a bit more character ... and this has little to do with a brown ale ...
from ebeer.ch - pours a slightly hazy reddish-amber colour under a little and elusive foam leaving though a correct lacing; some aromatic hops, notes of red fruits marmalade and undefined spices; a respectable malt body and a low carbonation, smooth palate, sweet and with a low bitterness; aftertaste of herbs, caramel and a hint of mint - subtle and pleasant
pours a hazy copper-amber colour with a thin foam which quickly falls back; solid aroma of ripe bananas and cloves; very strong sweetness maintained ny a a fair carbonation which avoids it to be cloying; the finish is fizzy with more banana notes and residual sugars - tasty and interesting

draught@Solothurner Biertage 2011 - cloudy bright blond beer with a solid white foam; correct lace; very intense aroma of hemp; medium-bodied, sweet and gently acidic, quite dry finish with more acidic notes; the hemp stays now in the background
draught@Solothurner Biertage 2011 - dark blond-orange colour with a persistent white foam; aroma of cream, sour apples and vinegar; medium-bodied and pretty sour; dry sourish aftertaste of apples - infected; a shame to offer such bullshit at a beer festival !

draught - very cloudy bright orange colour, big and firm white creamy head and a beautiful lacing; served way too cold and needed some time to deliver the traditional corny and banana aroma; sweet and medium-bodied, a bit oily but not as thick as some other weizen, which does not make it cloying at all; a touch of a citrusy acidity, moderate residual sweetness in a finish where the banana tones show themselves a bit more - very well-brewed
from Bierhütte - slightly hazy amber-bronze beer with a poor head retention; a light aromatic hoppiness in top of shy earthy notes; medium-bodied and pretty tasteless, low carbonation and gently sticky; moderate earthy finish - lacking of character

another "specialty" to celebrate the new alcohol limit for driving (went down from 0.8 to 0.5 on january 2005) - clear bright golden colour, fine dense foam and a correct lacing, corny nose with a light aromatic hoppiness, sweet with a medium body, some tartness in the finish just when the body vanishes, the finish is short and quite watery - I would never drink it a second time but the usual bad tastes you can find in almost all light beers is absent here

re-rated, now called Senza, not clear if this is a new recipe or not - it pours a clear golden colour and has a good head retention and a nice lacing; a light citrusy hoppiness is not enough to hide the traditional aroma of wort by NA beers; some sweetness and a creamy mouthfeel; the wort appears again but this time too much in the aftertaste to make this beer really drinkable - one of the best NA I have sampled

draught - clear and bright golden colour with a nice creamy head and lacing; a ridiculous hint of aromatic hoppiness caresses the nose; sweet and thin-bodied with something in the finish which could be interpreted (with much imagination, but I had a good day ...) as a touch of bitterness; the aftertaste is just really flat and short - better than the standard Cardinal because there is here nothing wrong, just 3dl of nothing ...
courtesy of Philipp and Thomas - very clear and pale golden-yellow coloured, absolutely no foam; sirupy aroma of pears and raisins; very sweet and quite sticky palate; thin-bodied; residual sugars in a long sticky fruity finish (raisins, apples and pears) - by far not the the worst of the evil Eve serie

from Coop - translucide pale golden-yellow beer with no foam left; sweetish aroma of lime and perfume; very sweet and fizzy, sticky, no bitterness nor decent malt backbone;; long sweetish citrusy finish - sugar juice for children; it’s not the brewery only which should have been closed, but their products too at the same time.

clear golden colour, almost no foam, few hops with notes of paperboard, sweet, medium-bodied, dry and very unpleasant finish - almost drinkable

clear bright golden colour, fine head, nice lace, strong lemon aroma with notes of ginger, fresh, very sweet, a touch of acidity makes it drinkable and almost balanced but it has no beer character - good for those who don't like beer

very pale and clear blond beer with a disparate foam; shy aroma of corn and wet grain; no traces of hops; smooth and with a moderate malt backbone, slightly soapy; remarkably tasteless; a shy bitterness (though it could be a residual taste from the Storm & Anchor Black IPA I had last night ...) and a short vaguely grassy finish - saying it’s a boring beer would be far below reality
red-amber colour, slightly fruity, creamy, bitter but not enough
pale orange colour, few head, perfumy, slightly citrusy with a touch of spices, tart and fresh, short lemon finish - easy but not bad

do you want a good advice ? open this one in your bath... After a very very foamy start, I just got about half of the initial content (good idea they have increased the size of their bottles since last time...) - cloudy blond-orange colour with a very little foam, citrusy and grapefruit hoppiness, the body is medium, lacitic mouthfeel, acidic and oily with a finishing tartness, the aftertaste shows an agressive bitterness - strange
hazy brown-amber colour, almost no foam, plum and rose aroma with some malty notes, sweet, light to medium-bodied with a finishing bitterness (a bit harsh), the finish is slightly dry and quite short - fresh and easy

12/2002 (3/2/3/1/3) - I have already had plenty of bad surprises while opening a bottle, but this one is now holding the record. Its foam sprang up out of the bottle like a geyser and I felt suddenly like the winner of a F1 Grand-Prix. From the initial 25 Cl, all what I finally got was about 4 cl. OK for a single malt but quite short for a beer. This does not really matter anyway because this beer has very probably been altered. The colour is pale brown; the aroma is earthy, malty with notes of banana and vase; it is oily, heavy with a very unpleasant sourness in the finish. Am I unfair to rate this beer ? Yes, I am. But this is what can happen if you don’t master the bottling of your beer.

re-rate, 6/2004 - cloudy orange colour with a nice head and lacing, the aroma shows notes of apricot and alcohol with a touch of diacetyl, sweet with a good maltiness followed by a long and dry aftertaste of unfermented malts and diacetyl - some fermentation problems here for sure; too bad because this could be a really good one. (5/6/7/2/7)

draught@brewpub - hazy blond-orange colour with a persistent creamy white foam; notes of diacetyl, corn and banana in the nose; medium-bodied at best, fairly astringent and quite dry, the finish is herbal and corny, pretty dry with a biting bitter astringency and some banana reminiscence - out of scope and totally green; barely drinkable

Served with lime, this is supposed to be the Corona of Switzerland (don't know why they want to imitate a bad beer, but this is not my problem). Opposite to the mexican beer, this one is no more drinkable.
ruby-brown colour, beautiful head, butter, peanut aroma, caramel, light-bodied, watery, quite flat - disapointing
canned; from Coop - the famous beer from Zürich is finally brewed in Switzerland! Well, not yet in Zürich but this is a beginning:-) - pale and translucid golden colour with a little white foam left; nice lacework; herbal and plastic notes meet in the aroma; some sweetness from the malt and a moderate body; gently oily on the tongue and with a very shy bitterness; short malty and vaguely herbal finish - it looks like all the money available has been put in the marketing leaving nothing to take care of the product ...

cloudy orange colour, big creamy head, light banana aroma with some spicy notes, sweet and light oily, medium-bodied, dry corny and banana finish - correct, that's all
amber colour, few head, medium honey aroma, sweet, slightly tart, fresh with caramel notes - easy but very drinkable

dark ruby-brown colour, almost no foam, toasted and smokey aroma with light chocolate notes, sweet and malty with some bitterness,dry malty and roasted finish
a beer brewed with "emmer" (how the hell do you translate this in english ??), a grain which was used by the egyptians 4000 years ago - clear brown colour, no head, malt and hay aroma, sweet, grainy, slightly sour, dry finish
re-rated 10/2010; courtesy of Philipp and Thomas - pours a cloudy blond-orange colour under a solid and persistent creamy white head; nice lacework; a solid aromatic hoppy nose with notes of peanuts, grapefruit, flowers and biscuits; a fair but subtle carbonation, medium to full malt backbone; sharp palate and very tasty; a fair bitterness and a long aromatic hoppy finish; pretty dry - a beautiful beer
courtesy of Philipp and Thomas (3/2010) - cloudy blond colour with a solid and firm persistent white foam; the nose is herbal and dusty; very carbonated and medium malt backbone; some bitterness; the finish is grassy and buttery with some residual sweetness and unpleasant notes of vegetables - dubious (4/5/4/2/8)

courtesy of Philipp and Thomas - hazy copper-orange beer with a little long lasting foam; solid notes of wood in top of some malt and caramel; a good malt backbone and a solid astringency; dry and fairly bitter; huge and overwhelming astringent woody presence in the finish - unbalanced and difficult to drink
draught@brewpub - fully cloudy blond-orange colour with a little white foam left; nice lacework; decently aromatic aroma with notes of herbs and peanuts; a good malt body and with some astringency; high carbonation; a fair tart bitterness and a long herbal aftertaste with lingering aromatic hoppy notes - quite close to a pils; very nice work

written in the booklet delivered with the beer: "The first sip reveals its powerful body. The light sweetness and the full body are offered then in perfect harmony to your palate. Then a subtle bitterness associated with a sparkling freshness develops. The particularly fine taste of Castello Amber makes this speciality an authentic symbol of the gustatory pleasure."
my friend Laurent Mousson needed 30 minutes to stop laughing ...
pale yellow colour, almost no foam, plastic-like hoppiness, medium-bodied and oily, very flat and slightly dry finish - luckily, it's a limited edition !
clear golden colour with a persistent little foam and a nice lacing; decent herbal hoppiness; clean palate and a medium malt body, creamy mouthfeel and a late moderate bitterness; more malts and herbs in the finish - I cannot believe it but I think Feldschlösschen has just brewed a second decent beer !
ruby-brown colour, fine head, slightly toasted malty aroma with some buttery notes, sweet and light-bodied, soapy with a rather disgusting and moderate malty finish - dubious
clear pale golden colour, fine head and a nice lacing, moderate grassy hoppiness, sweet and medium-bodied with a dry and slightly bitter finish - typically swiss: well-made and boring
canned; made of beer (75%) and lemon juice - very pale and clear yellow colour; the white foam doesn't last more than 2 seconds; strong sweetish lemony nose with notes of yuzu (as far as I can correctly remember the last time I had some); fizzy and very sweet with a poor malt body, a touch of acidity is not enough to balance the huge sweetness; the finish is short and citrusy, moderately dry - two centuries of brewing experience to produce this ! waouhh ...
canned; made of beer (75%) and other stuff you don't really want to know - clear and bright golden-yellow colour, the white foam disappears quickly; aroma of grapefruit lemonade with a touch of something else (let's say it's cranberry ...); very very sweet, no malt body and a long sweetish and sticky fruity finish; no beer character at all - I'm getting deeply tired of this sort of bullshit
clear pale golden colour, fine head and a nice lace, light hoppy nose, sweet and neutral, the finish is slightly dry and plastic-like - unsignificant; one more bad move from Feldschloesschen ...
from Coop, unfortunately only available in six pack - translucide and bright amber beer with a poor head retention; very shy woody notes, light aroma of spices and caramel; moderate malt backbone and carbonation; very low bitterness and with a fizzy caramelish and spicy finish where the woody tones are vaguely more apparent - totally without any interest
from restaurant la Rotonde, Biel - pours a translucid and bright amber colour with a little but long lasting beige foam; a good balance between a gentle aromatic hoppiness and malty tones, notes of herbs and caramel; medium-bodied and with a regular carbonation, decently bitter, quite long aromatic hoppy finish with light herbal and malty tones - not bad at all
light yellow colour, few foam, herbal aroma, smooth, fresh, flat flavor
canned - and here comes another brand from the biggest, Carlsberg-owned, brewery of the country; this is actually the 31st brand offered by this unkind monster. Yes: 31 ! What a fantastic, innovative brewery do you think ? Nope. Don’t look for stouts, ipa, barley wines, schwarz- or rauchbier here. Their offering counts 24 pale lagers (among them 3 NA beers and 1 Zwickel), 1 dunkel and 6 mixed drinks (lemonade and pale lagers). Yes, that’s it: not even a Weizen nor a Bock, nothing. Sweet Jesus, you got to be kidding me: what a poor miserable enterprise
This beer pours a pale golden colour, clear and with a little bright white foam; shy corny nose with no noticeable hop presence; subtle but robust carbonation, medium malt backbone, a faint bitterness introduces a short creamy, corny and watery finish - one more shot in the dark from Feldschlösschen/Carlsberg
canned; courtesy of Philipp and Thomas - pours a clear golden beer with a solid foamy white head, nice lacework; oily grassy hoppiness with hints of butter and with a sweet medium malt backbone; hard to find any bitterness even with a good imagination; soft palate and aftertaste with light grassy notes - chances are high that this is a Feldschlösschen Original relabeled
one more new beer from Feldschlösschen/Carlsberg: a calorie-poor lager, labeled "premium ... longer matured for an achieved taste" ... great, I cannot wait to taste it ! - it pours a clear golden colour with a little persistent but irregular foam; correct lacing; the aroma gives me some doubts about my sensorial capacities: I'm just not able to detect anything here; maybe a slight flowery hint ? But who can say that this does not come from a flower field outside or from my imagination ? ... a bit sweet and very thin-bodied; finishes slightly dry with a shy touch of bitterness and after it ... it's the Atacama desert. - God, what am I gonna do with the rest of my 6 pack ?
clear golden colour, few head, nice lace, some hops, herbal notes, medium-bodied, sweet with a hint of bitterness, the finish is slightly oily - decent
canned - clear and bright golden colour with a poor white foam left, correct lacework; malty, flowery and slightly dusty aroma; medium-bodied and moderately sweet, very low bitterness and a moderate malty, flowery and grassy finish; slightly dry - poorly tasty and just drinkable
ohhh ! an unfiltered beer from Feldschlösschen ... - hazy dark orange colour, giant creamy head, haye and notes of nuts in the nose, oily with a tart finishing bitterness, the finish is dry and honestly malty - not much character though but it looks like I’ve found a drinkable Feld
clear green-amber colour, few head and a nice lace, buttery and light fruity, sweet and quite light-bodied with a dry and slightly tart malty finish - nothing bad, nothing good, no creativity... Just about what I was expecting from Feldschloesschen.
slightly cloudy pale yellow colour, nice head and lace, fresh and light fruity nose (orange ?), medium-bodied, sweet and quite flat, no bitterness, short finish
clear amber colour, creamy and slightly beige head; shy and metallic aromatic hoppiness; very creamy mouthfeel with a subtle effervescence; a flowery touch - all in all a gentle unspectacular and wrongly named beer; one more ridiculous attempt from this moribund brewery
cloudy orange colour, few head, poor nose with grain and malt, notes of peanuts, medium malt body, sweet and boring, moderate malty finish - Feldschlösschen worked really hard to produce a 5 grain beer without any character; great work ...
clear bronze colour with a solid white foam; a hint of caramel and butter in the nose; sweet and medium-bodied; no bitterness; more caramelish notes in the finish - deeply uninteresting
flavoured with herbs - translucid pale yellow colour with a poor head retention; the nose is herbal and slightly oily; medium-bodied, fresh with some tartness due to a solid carbonation; some bitterness and an effervescent herbal finish with some residual sweetness - not bad at all
very clear and pale golden colour, poor head retention; some light grassy notes along with wet paperboard; a bit sweet and fully watery; finishes quite dry with tons of unpleasant carton-like tones - undrinkable ... of course
from Bierhütte - translucid and bright golden beer with a poor head retention; deeply neutral aroma with just hints of paperboard; moderate malt body, no taste, no bitterness and a watery-like finish - very close to water and deeply insignificant
draught@erzbierschof’s Bar - translucide amber beer with a little slightly beige foam left; gently hoppy with notes of caramel, earth, pretty flowery; creamy palate with a light sweetness; low bitterness and quite dry, creamy flowery slightly hoppy aftertaste - very decent

2 litres bottle@brewpub - cloudy dark blond colour with a little pale beige foam; nice lacing; gently smokey with an aroma of cold ashes; medium-bodied and with a subtle carbonation, moderate bitterness and with a quite long smokey finish - some discrepancy between aroma and taste but overall very interesting
bottled; brewed by Lässer, recipe from Fischerstube (Basel) - clear bright golden colour with a firm, fine and persistent head, the nose shows a biscuity maltiness with some aromatic hops in the background, very creamy mouthfeel, some sweetness before a decent bitterness, the malt body shows a good presence just before a long biscuity, hazelnutty finish

contract brewed by Lasser (Germany) - clear golden colour with little foam, subtle aroma of dates, sweet and oily, medium-bodied, the finish is slightly dry with fine fruity notes - balanced and gentle; fortunately they did not put too much dates within which would have made it too heavy - in any cases, this is not likely to be close to what the Egyptian used to brew ...

light hazy pale golden-yellow with a beautiful head, aroma of herbs and butter, sweet and full-bodied, fresh and well-balanced with a long herbal finish - very pleasant

bottled from Gasthaus Bären, Hottwil - cloudy bright orange colour under a solid creamy white foam; aroma of citrus and cream; overcarbonated and tart/acidic; moderate malt body, aggressive and astringent bitterness, quite dry, citrusy, flowery and fizzy short finish - deeply dubious; way to go, guys!

1997 vintage 14.2% sampled 01/07/2004; at last I can get my hand on this last vintage from Hürlimann ! (thanks to fiulijn): deep brown colour, the initial fine foam disappears quickly, very complex nose of malt, alcohol, wood, spices and nuts, thick and very sweet but followed by a solid bitterness, the finish is Portwine-like, powerfull, showing malts, alcohol, nuts and caramel - is it balanced ? who cares ... it's a wonderful experience !(9/4/8/4/18)
1996 vintage sampled 12/27/2002: I just love this beer a little bit more each year. It still gets more complex and before all, the ingredients are fitting each year better together. The finish is now developping a long bitterness with strong notes of port wine. (9/4/8/5/18)
1996 vintage sampled 10/23/2001: Very deep bordeaux colour, aroma: roasted malt, alcohol, cherry , very complex flavor (spicy, caramel).

bright red-amber colour, almost no foam, complex and strange aroma of cherries and perfume, bubblegum-like, smokey notes, overcarbonated, sweet and oily followed by an explosion of alcohol in a very long and dry bitter finish - a strange experiment and a very free interpretation of a porter

re-rate, 7/2002: this brewery seems to lack of constancy and my second try of this beer was not very pleasant (my rating is the average of those 2 trys): buttery nose with notes of blood, sweet with a touch of sourness, dry metallic finish - one more unmatured swiss amber beer (3/3/3/2/5) - 8/3/2001:amber colour, few head, hint of caramel, some starting acidity, bitter finish (3/6/7/3/12)
re-rate, 7/2002: deep corn aroma with strong notes of horse-radish and smoked bacon, sweet, slightly oily, long dry spicy finish - very original but maybe a little bit heavy at the end. - 8/3/2001: cloudy honey colour, nice head, superb complex nose (honey, spicy, horse-radish), full-bodied, sweet with some acidity, long spicy aftertaste (4/9/7/5/17)
pale yellow colour, few head, well-hopped, fruity, full-bodied, some acidity, bitter finish
bottled; courtesy of Laurent Mousson - pours a cloudy red-bordeaux colour with absolutely no foam; aroma of red fruits marmalade (strawberries, mango), almost no carbonation; sweet and without bitterness, thin-bodied; quite watery aftertaste with lingering notes of red fruits - very dubious and nothing more than bad homebrew level (considering the honorable quality of their other beers, I have to suppose something went wrong with this bottle)
tasting session in Pickwick@Bern - pours a slightly hazy pale amber colour with no foam left; the nose shows a gentle aromatic hoppiness with hints of caramel; very low carbonation and a very light malt body; clean palate; short and watery caramelish aftertaste - very delicate and definitely too thin for my liking
tasting session in Pickwick@Bern - very dark ruby-brown colour with an elusive beige foam; roasted black chocolate aroma with a touch of licorice; medium but delicate malt body; moderately bitter and quite low carbonation; soft mouthfeel; more chocolatey notes in the finish - subtle and balanced
tasting session in Pickwick@Bern - pale golden-amber colour with a poor head retention; fair aromatic hoppiness leaving citrusy and flowery notes; medium-bodied and with a low carbonation; the moderate bitterness clearly indicates that this is a british IPA style; quite long lasting flowery hoppiness - balanced and well-made but not very bold

SBJ 2010 - clear amber-bronze colour and with a little but persistent head; aroma of oranges with light notes of solvent; sweet and rounded palate, medium to full-bodied, no real bitterness and a sweetish, slightly fruity finish with hints of warming alcohol - lacking of malt presence for a beer that strong

God, I don't like ginger ... there are also notes of nutmeg; unbalanced and definitely cough sirup-like, too much carbonation, very bitter, desperately long, whimsical finish with a final, deep, killing touch of ginger - this is indeed a "special" ale !
either is this vintage more balanced than the 2001 or my appreciation for those spices has changed - dark ruby-brown colour, no head, deep ginger and nutmeg aroma with vanilla notes, sweet and tart with an incredibly long spicy and bitter finish - this beer is really something special and it smells like christmas ... and I'm still not sure if I like it or not !
dark brown colour with a fine head and a beautiful lacing, a deep assault of ginger, some cinnamon, sweet, the body is short, the finish is medicinal with a rough bitterness - I cannot really decide if I like this or not ...
dark brown colour, the initial foam quickly vanishes, aroma of ginger, licorice and pine trees, medium-bodied, a bit oily, a moderate sweetness is followed by a dry bitterness and long spicy notes in the finish - it’s Christmas time ...
very dark brown colour and a big creamy beige head; a ton of spices (as usual for those Anchor Christmas beers): cloves and ginger dominate; notes gingerbread; oily and medium-bodied; high carbonation, dryish spicy finish where some chocolaty notes appear - rich and tasty but not quite the way I like it
courtesy of Philipp and Thomas - hazy blond-orange colour with a little long lasting foam; nice lacework; fair oily hoppy aroma with notes of apricot and pear; gently sticky palate, medium-bodied, a solid bitterness, some residual sugars and a long fruity hoppy finish - very pleasant
red-amber colour, head quickly disappears, slightly fruity, full-bodied with some bitterness in the finish, lack of character - nothing special
deep orange colour, fine head, very hoppy, fruity aroma, full-bodied, nice bitterness
from Bier-Bienne - cloudy brown beer with a little foam left; fairly malty and cookie-like aroma with a decent hop presence; good malt body and very tasty, bitter and long malty toasted finish
great complex coffee aroma, somehow uniforme flavor, nut aftertaste
great foam, slightly fruity aroma, flavor: great bitterness, nut
from Amstein - quite clear amber beer with a modest head retention; light yeasty with hoppy notes of melon and peaches; velvety palate; moderate carbonation and a good malt backbone; mellowbitterness and more fruity tones in the finish - gentle
light amber colour, creamy, bitter and dry, orange aroma
very dark colour, fine head, strong hoppy nose with some coffeish notes, bitter, chocolaty finish - correct but lacking terribly of complexity
Bud, Ice and Light are three words, which (taken individualy) already mean: "bad" to me. Putting them together ? Well ... horrible yellow colour, amoniac aroma and impressive plastic aftertaste
very light golden colour, fine head, medium hop aroma, thick and oily with a strange vegetable, dry finish
courtesy of Ric Jackman; labelled Anheuser-Busch B as the use of Budweiser brand is forbidden in Switzerland; brewed by Stag (London) - clear and very pale golden-yellow colour with a firm and persistent bright white foam; light notes of butter and corn (those are getting stronger and quite disgusting while the beer gets warmer); crisp and clean palate? sure, but desperately tasteless; no bitterness and a soft and creamy corny watery bland aftertaste - the brew every beer geek loves to hate and the perfect symbol of what beer should not be; and this beer doesn’t taste better even when offered by a former NHL 5th overall draft pick :-)
(a beer flavoured with Tequila) light orange colour, sweet, tequila aroma, far too much carbonation - not good
(a beer flavoured with blue agave, lime and tequila) strong lime aroma, sweet, once again too much carbonation
courtesy of Laurent Mousson - clear very dark brown colour with a chaotic foam left; pretty lactic, buttery chcolatey nose; sweet and medium to full-bodied; slightly dry chocolatey and vanilla finish - not fully convincing
courtesy of fiulijn - pours a hazy copper-brown colour with a little beige foam; robust hoppy and malty aroma; strong presence of caramel; full-bodied, very sweet and slightly sticky; solid bitterness lasting in a long and moderately dry caramelish finish - a very free interpretation of the style
courtesy of fiulijn - pours a hazy reddish-amber colour with a little pale beige foam; robust aroma of port-wine, dried fruits and vanilla, wood and caramel come also to mind; totally excessive sweetness, sticky and syrupy, full-bodied; some bitterness tries painfully to shine but fails due to the huge sweetness; long sugary finish with notes of vanilla and oranges and a solid burning alcohol kick - very similar to a young Samichlaus; I wonder how it could look like after 10 years of ageing
do you know when you can be sure your steppparents like you ? It's when they bring you a Mephistopheles Stout from Washington DC back to Europe ! - pours a pitch black colour under a little, brown tainted foam; a stupendous, rich and complex aroma invades the nose: dried fruits (mainly raisins), alcohol, anise and wood escort the strong notes of black chocolate; roasted but not too much; thick and enormously tasty, very sweet and full-bodied, strong bitterness; long creamy, toasted chocolatey finish with hints of cherry, licorice and molasses and a huge warming alcohol kick - this stuff is gigantic, excessive, too sweet and definitely lacking of balance but I love it !
2002 vintage: dark black colour, no foam, strong coffee aroma, alcohol and plum, thick, sweet and oily, very bitter and dry, the finish is quite powerful with overwhelming alcohol presence - thanks to jcalabre for this beer
bright and clear reddish-brown colour with a little foam; aroma of caramel and hazelnut, notes of fir needles, slightly roasted; sweet and full-bodied, very tasty, late but robust bitterness before a dry caramelish, woody and malty finish - a big very impressive beer; big thanks to fiulijn
batch #3; courtesy of fiulijn - cloudy ruby in colour; little head; powerful and complex whisky-like aroma showing notes of sour cherries, prunes, alcohol, yeast and toffees; strong initial sweetness sonn met by a very robust bitterness; sticky, syrupy and full-bodied, very long dry and bitter peppery, herbal finish with notes of licorice ... and of course a big burning alcohol kick - very good and enormous beer which is still quite raw and would probably benefit of some ageing
courtesy of fiulijn - hazy amber-orange colour and a little foam; hugely hoppy aroma: caramel and quince marmelade, apricot; low carbonation and a solid malt body which fails a bit short in the finish leaving the huge hop presence alone; an heavy bitterness which lasts for an half eternity; more herbal and quince notes - a big and excessive but very good hop bomb
courtesy of fiulijn - opaque black coloured under a nervously foaming head; roasted aroma of black chocolate, pralines and almonds; overcarbonated and with a totally overwhelming, aggressive bitterness; the finish is very dry, bitter and salty with metallic tones and some more almonds - absolutely out of control and barely drinkable
courtesy of fiulijn - very cloudy dark orange colour, little white foam; aroma of cream and apricot, notes of dust, musty; full-bodied, sticky and oily, slightly soapy; very bitter and quite dry, long fruity finish - a quite confusing hop bomb
amber colour, orange aroma, unpleasant sourness

very dark black colour, fine brown-tainted head and a nice lacing, complex aroma of prune, alcohol, chocolate and licorice, slightly oily and sweet, the finish is moderately dry, slightly bitter with strong chocolatey notes, some prune and alcohol - nicely balanced and very well-made though it would have been perfect with more bitterness

OK, let me say something first: I love to eat sharp. After drinking this one (I was not able to finish the bottle) I had to realize that I hate to drink sharp ! Put a red pepper in a Bud (probably the only thing which can make a Bud tasting worse as its original taste...) and you got your Chili beer. Boaaarkkkk ... cannot even think about it.

courtesy of Allen - clear and bright amber-bronze colour with a modest foam left; solid hoppy aroma of quince marmalade and peach; quite full-bodied and very bitter, pretty biting astringency and quite sticky, solid bitter finish with notes of red fruits and hints of pine needles - quite one-dimensional and aggressive

clear golden colour, fine white head; a touch of hoppiness and some notes of alcohol and paperboard in the nose; sweet and medium-bodied at best; the finish is quite flat - inoffensive but I prefer this to a traditional aggressive malt liquor I was expected this to be
bottled; from MadDan and CrazySilvie - it has a slightly hazy amber colour and absolutely no foam, strange and chaotic aroma where caramel meets notes of cabbage and fresh wort; the flavour is quite sweet and flat but the finish gives some hope with dry earthy and malty notes
clear and pale red-amber colour, the modest foam does not persist very long leaving just some big bubbles on the side of the glass; the hop characteristics give no doubts about the origin of the beer: fresh cream mainly but also apricot and some flowery notes, the whole thig leaving though an "unclean" impression, the solid bitterness does not quite succeed in hiding a modest malt body; moderately dry and a quite long hoppy finish - correct but not much more - thanks to MadDan and Crazy Silvie for this one

courtesy of Per Samuelsson - hazy dark brown colour with a firm beige head; nice lacing; aroma of banana, prune and candi sugar; sweet, fine but solid carbonation; full-bodied, the finish is long, fruity, yeasty and malty with some residual sweetness and hints of alcohol - robust and very belgian-abbey like

this can't be a maibock ! - Anyway: golden-orange colour, no head, fresh, peanuts and almonds aroma, full-bodied, sweet, dry and bitter nutty finish - a very pleasant brew

it pours a hazy orange colour with a nice little stable foam; the aroma is mainly yeasty with hints of cream and fruit (apricot ?) staying in the background; very creamy in the mouth and with a decent initial malt backbone which is falling down on the end; a correct bitterness and a quite dry and a bit watery finish; more yeasty tones and something typically homebrew-like in the aftertaste - not much character but all in all quite well-made for a first try !
pale cloudy orange colour under a stable firm white head; the classical banana aroma of the Weizenbiers is here but it gets some rivalry from notes of tangerines and yeast; quite sweet, very smooth mothfeel and a rather low carbonation for the style; some corny tartness in the finish and a fair amount of residual sweetness despite a very low final gravity; a typical homebrew touch in the aftertaste (I wish I could identify it more precisely) is all what betrays the fact that this is a beer from an amateur
hazy golden-orange colour with a little persistent white head; solid but not overwhelming corny aroma, some banana notes underneath; some sweetness and a good carbonation; mediu and regualr malt body, a touch of late acidity gives it a good balance; the finish is a bit short and watery but every evidence pointing out this as a homebrew (like in vol. 2) has disappeared - well done !
