Pours a light golden with a small head that reduces quickly

Aroma is very much driven by malt and not a lot of hop smell at all

Taste begins with a good dose of sweet sugary malt that is a touch sour. Somewhat reminds me of apples or pears. Not much bitterness or hoppiness whatsoever, and somewhat unbalanced.

Clean and crisp, medium bodied

75cl brown cork and caged bottle, this 'Ambree' beer has a browny yellowy labels front and rear.

Poured into my Hoegaarden glass and two Palm glasses.

The colour is almost red, a deep brown more than amber the head was a wispy white covering. I do prefer a larger foaming head on my beers.

The aroma and taste was a sweet and sour sauce sort of mix add some yeast and that is the strange smell and flavours I found. It had a tart sharpness to it, I didn't take too this feeling at all.

There was also a wierd perfumed, burnt berries fel to the aftertaste, not what I am looking for in a beer, hence the low score.
