Birreria Ticinese Castione  
  Chiara - Helles     31.dec.01 - Fairly good lager, with a nice hoppy palate, a bit metallic.

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

  Spezial     31.dec.01 - Heavy malt body and strong hop palate, sweet and bitter. Not too aromatic, but still their best one. 6.9
  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.

  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
  Sirah 7.0 33 15.may.01 - A mix of beer and Sirah grapes, less interesting than "Pinot Gris"; pepper taste, not enough fruity, malty or hoppy. 6.2
BFM Saignelégier  
  La Cervoise de la Bonneville 6.0 33 18.jan.02 - Disgusting herbal ale, a flop for this awarded brewery. See my rating at Ratebeer.com. 4.5
  La Mandragore 8.0 33 02.may.01 - Strong "stout" made with spelt (a primitive wheat); complex and spicy, with a bit of carbonation acidity, a light roasted taste in the middle, a long, medium-strenght bitter final. See my rating at Ratebeer.com. 7.2

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

Seeland Bräu Nidau   
  Blonde 4.9   12.jan.02 - Very good blond lager, wonderful 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
  Blanche     15.sept.02 - Atypical weizen, missing the traditional spicy character, but anyway a giant beer, with a very good hop and pretty sweet. See my rating at Ratebeer.com. 7.4
  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 Blonde, it's not so different; something more in the body.
15.sep.02 - and something less in the hop character and aroma. See my rating at Ratebeer.com.

Sierrvoise Sierre  
  Blanche (n° 11) 5.4 33   7.6
  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
  Brune (n° 7) 7.4 33    
  Noire (n° 11) 8.0 33   7.6
  Rousse (n° 2) 5.0 33   7.1
  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.
