Birreria Ticinese | Castione | |||||
Chiara - Helles | 31.dec.01 - Fairly good lager, with a nice hoppy
palate, a bit metallic. 17.aug.02 - The good hop is the main characteristic for this blond. See my rating at Ratebeer.com. |
7.0 | ||||
Honey and Jasmin | 31.dec.01 - Special production. Even if it's made with honey, it isn't really sweet. The flowers give a "soap" aroma (it's my second Jasmin beer within a few days, and Jasmin is not my favourite beer ingredient). Fancy and harmless experiment. | 6.0 | ||||
Meibock | 5.5 | 17.aug.02 - Smooth, good mix of malt and hop; they use some Cascade. See my rating at Ratebeer.com. | 7.2 | |||

Weizen | 5.0 | 31.dec.01 - Amber wheat beer, really not with the
typical flavours. A bit sour. It has to be improved. 17.aug.02 - And they improved; good traditional German wheat. See my rating at Ratebeer.com. |

Gamay | 33 | 16.may.01 - Like a sparkling wine, the flavours of the red young wine of the Suisse Romande. Sour winy in the beginning and beery in the end. | 6.5 | |||
La Vulcan | 9.0 | 33 | 6.4 | |||
Pinot-Gris | 7.0 | 33 | 15.may.01 - A mix of beer and Pinot Gris grapes, complex, balanced, with grape, malt and hop taste, in the order. Interesting experiment. | 7.0 | ||

Café du Centre | Champéry | |||||
Amber | Unique exemple in Switzerland of "smoked" beer. The smokey character is correctly light; the beer is amber in colour, rather sweet, with no or undistinctable hop. Quite good; we hope that the brewer won't stop producing it, as he would like. | 6.7 | ||||

aromatic hop character; one of the World top class. 15.sept.02 - Also very good malty body. See my rating at Ratebeer.com. |
7.6 | |||

Lago Mio Dunkel | 5.2 | 12.jan.02 - Sweet exemple of Dunkel,
the finish is stronger than usual. 15.sept.02 - Characterized by a lot of roasted and even more burnt malt. See my rating at Ratebeer.com. |
7.2 | |||
Speciale (Hemp) | 12.jan.02 - Close to be as good as the

Blanche (n° 21) | 5.0 | 33 | 14.avr.01 - White (wheat) beer, with strong characteristical flavours; much body, quite sweet. It's brewed with some orange and lemon peels; without added spicies. Wonderful beer! | 8.0 | ||

Rousse (n° 6) | 6.2 | 33 | 18.avr.01 - Amber ale, malty in flavours and first taste, then cames the hoppy final, with a nice acid bitterness, and not much aroma. A lot of character. Unlike the Noire and the Blanche, this is made only from malts, hops and yeast. Good amber ale. Drink not colder than 12°C. | 7.2 | ||

Note | ||
The note tries to resume many features,
with predominance for the flavour (and a lot of subjectivity). A positive beer should be above 6, and e negative one below 6. |
||
5.0 ~ 5.9 | Poor | Some disturbing flavour, or absolute lackness of flavours. Better not to buy a second time. |
6.0 ~ 6.5 | Satisfactory | Few pleasant notes; you may drink it, but it isn't your Nirvana. |
6.5 ~ 6.9 | Reasonable | Many positive points; it's always a pleasure to drink it. |
7.0 + | GOOD | A real pleasure; if you don't have it, you must go for it. |
