3.57/5  rDev +24.8%
look: 4.75 | smell: 3.25 | taste: 3.5 | feel: 3.5 | overall: 3.75
A:
Pours a cloudy flat brown with tinges of peach when you are pouring it. Has an ample tan head that is ridiculously creamy and tenacious. Great retention, good lacing. Absolutely beautiful glass of beer.

S:
Tea, damp earth, over-ripe fruit, cereal

T:
Richer than you’d think, fresh and earthy on the whole, some grass hop notes. Overall very dank and musty tasting lots of tea. Not very sweet and just a little bitter.

M:
Flat and crisp. Good carbonation but I would actually like it would be good a little creamier. Light bodied and refreshing.

O:
Surprisingly good, thought it would be bad based on other reviews. Sure it isn't ground breaking but it was unoffensive (which is what I hope for in something like a Brown). Either way you silce it, it has a beautiful head and that is worth a lot no matter what the beer is.
Tastes a little too watery on the whole for my taste but at the same time it is pretty refreshing compared to other browns you could have. Would have it again.

Poured from a 500ml brown bottle, very expensive at 4,99$ at Peluso. Rocky beige head on top of a brownish muddy beer. Grain and yeast on the nose. Classic du Hameau style. Chocolate and some hop bitterness. Sour aftertaste. Medium bodied beer. The belgian (??) yeast taste is predominant like in many du Hameau beer.

Bottle: Poured a clear deep brown color ale with a large foamy head with some retention and minimal lacing. Aroma of lightly sweet grain is lacking character. Taste is also quite bland with limited feature apart from non-descript malt and a lightly sweet finale. Body is average as well as carbonation. Bland and boring and overpriced while were at it.

The beer is dark amber color with a head formed of big bubbles. The aroma shows some malts and sugar (typical of this brewery). Pretty simple beer, no complexity at all. Taste is malt + sugar... to simple taste to be a good beer. Lots of carbonation in the mouth. Not impressed at all by this beer.

At best, this is ordinary beer.

Strong tomato soup smell as I uncap. I am now worried.

A- Beautiful cloudy mahogany with half a glass of beige head. Tons of little fizzy bubbles inside. It's actually hazy due to the bubbles. Head stays until the end and leaves nice horizontal lacing.

S- Still some tomato soup but not as strong as when I popped the cap off. A bit of onion. Very metallic.

EDIT: I got kind of sick of drinking it so I left it for about 45 min. It now smells a lot better. A bit like a malty rose.

T- So happy this doesn't taste like crap. It's actually good. ABA with the hops sometimes taking some sort of boiled vegetable/onion character but nothing too severe. I also found some bubblegum in here. Also a little watery.

M- Medium carbonation. Smooth medium mouthfeel.

D- Good. Enjoyable drink but not delicious

Pretty similar to the rest of their lineup. Feels like shy brewing or they're just missing something. I'm thinking it's the yeast.
