Brown bottle, 341 ml, bottled in February 2006, purcahsed on April 13, 2006; eye: pale straw, white head that disappears almost instantly, a bit of effervescence; nose: damp corn, malt, salt; mouth: not much taste, a bit of wet corn, a bit of bitterness, very slightly sweet, light body, thin and watery texture, a bit of carbonation, no finale per se, absolutely no comparison to the sample I had at the 2005 Montréal’s Mondial de la bière en 2005 where I fell for its salty side; overall: big disappointment

Bouteille brune, 341 ml, embouteillé en février 2006, acheté le 13 avril 2006; oeil : paille pâle, mousse blanche qui disparaît presque aussitôt, un peu d’effervescence; nez : maïs mouillée, malt, sel; bouche : peu goûteuse, un peu de maïs mouillé, un peu d’amertume, très légèrement sucrée, corps léger, texture mince et aqueuse, un peu de carbonatation, pas de finale pour dire, absolument aucune comparaison avec ce que j’avais goûté au Mondial de la bière en 2005 où le côté salin de la bière m’avait ravi; en résumé : grosse déception

Jun 15, 2008 Goût très raisonnable et à la fois abordable. Épuré, mais à la fois aussi relevé.
Un col généreux qui ne dure pas cependant. Le col ressemble effectivement à de l’écume.
Plus riche en goût que la moyenne des blondes, mais qui ne se distingue pas côté originalité du goût.

May 23, 2008 Bottle courtesy of Hogtownharry. Decants from the bottle, a pale and sparkling gold with a one finger of white fizz. The aroma is sugar and grains with shortbread cookies and straw, and hints at yeast. The flavour profile is surprisingly sweet and shows grains, bread crust, fruit and doughy accents. Average carbonation and a decent finish with a bit too much residual sugar. Standard stuff. Thanks Harry!

Apr 29, 2008 20071025 Bottled Feb 07. Pale gold, thin white head. Aroma is bready, white toast, bit of cantaloupe. Flavor has light citrus bite, mineral, salty. Wet graininess. Not particularly good or refreshing which pretty much defeats the purpose of the style.

Feb 17, 2008 Bright gold, small head. Nose of corn, fresh hay, metal and a hint of iode. Sweetness reminiscent of corn, and a metallic bitterness saved by a hint of saltiness. Body is on the light side. I agree with MDS, it lacks precision. If it weren’t for the saltiness, it would otherwise be plain boring.
