Amos - 4.9% alc/vol View Label 8 Kb

Comments - First brewed in 1868. Relabelled for various distributors.

Becker's 8.8% - 8.8% alc/vol View Label 5 Kb

Comments - First brewed in 1996.

Tasting Notes - The 8.8% makes itself very noticed both in the alcohol and warmth as well as the character it imparts on the other elements. For instance the fruitiness, partly generated by the alcohol, has a sherry note to it. Certainly a very full and rich

Bière Blonde - 3.7% alc/vol View Label 6 Kb

Tasting Notes - Not particularly exciting in any department, though it does have a fair hop character that grows to a strong bitterness in the finish. Fairly easy to drink.

Bière de la Licorne - 4.8% alc/vol View Label 11 Kb

Comments - First brewed in 1995.

Tasting Notes - Not particularly inspiring beer with a strong bitterness tempered by a sweet malt until the finish when the bitterness takes over completely. KR: Particularly bland with very little character.

Bière de L'Été - 4% alc/vol

Bière de Mars - 4.8% alc/vol View Label 7 Kb

Comments - First brewed in 1993.

Tasting Notes - Lots of darkish candy malt throughout and a perfumed resiny hop that adds bitterness. Quite an interesting taste but very much a forced character which doesn't go further than the cosmetic front.

Bière de Noël - 5.8% alc/vol View Label 7 Kb

Comments - First brewed in 1994.

Tasting Notes - JW: An unusual beer throughout. It promises much but has unfortunate elements in the palate and finish that are not appealing. Very much like something that is being given an artificial character in the hope of making it interesting. KR: Interesting beer which does a good job of being drinkable yet having a winter character, however it remain an ordinary beer that has been tweaked.

Fritz Bräu - 4.7% alc/vol

Tasting Notes - Pretty inoffensive lager, even in a can. Displays some hop character with a growing bitterness.
