"Bright yellow-gold hue.
Pours with a foamy white head. Vinous and fruity aromas
suggest sweet pale malts. Follows through with sweet malty
flavors on a moderately full-bodied palate where elegant hop
flavors give this just enough bitterness to keep this in
balance. A delicious and highly drinkable Abbey-style ale."

"Mildly cloudy golden yellow appearance; snowy white foam.
Opening nosing finds minerally aromas of wet slate and wet
pavement; with aeration the bouquet unfolds emitting seductive
scents of yeast, cereal sweetness, distant spice, clove and
malt. Palate entry is malty sweet and the texture is round and
thick; midpalate is lusciously ripe and intensely malty and
fruity. Fabulous domestic ale achievement." -Wine Enthusiast

"Pale amber hue with a slight haze. Tangy, phenolic, vinous,
malt and hop aromas with suggestions of cherry bark and an
earthy, spicy edge. Frothy, tart, medium-full body with vinous,
intensely phenolic malt and a lengthy, grilled citrus peel fade.
A great food beer, try with goat cheese." -Beverage Tasting

"Gold with a
rich creamy head. The aromas show a distinctive, fresh, and fruity hop
character. Full-bodied and faintly fruity, but has a focus of chewy pale
malt and generous hop bittering on the finish. This beer has plenty of
rustic charm." -Beverage Testing Institute

This brisk Amber Ale is really a luminous golden-red. It is
perfectly balanced, with a soft, fresh hop bitterness
playing off a hearty whole-grain maltiness, and accented by
an entrancing nose of earth and spice that is typical of
French farm-country brewing.

Thiriez makes ales with an earthy, slightly wild character
that recalls the early days of farmhouse brewing, before
there was a border between France and Belgium. The delicate
spicy champagne aromas of this thirst-quenching blonde
beauty are quickly followed by a bracing rush of whole fresh
hops.
