(33 cl bottle from La Tapenalgue, Vannes) Pours a hazy golden with little, white head. Aroma is a dull beeswax. Texture is oily, carbonation is medium, medium-bodied with a short, sweet finish. Taste is mildly sweet with faint, sour notes. Girlfriend says: "It’s pretty flowery."

Bottle purchased at La Cave à Bulles in Paris. Poured a clear light orange-golden color. Head was white. Aroma was of light sprucy hops, corn, and oatmeal. I also detected an occasional metallic note. Dry on the tongue with mild hop bitterness that peaked at 3 out of 10. I tasted some light grassy hops up front which were accompanied by some soft caramel at the end. Light and easy to drink, but not a show stopper by any means.

Incidentally earthy apricots and accidentally prevalent oxidation...Ephemeral yeast and stale fruitiness...No need to mentally tally it all, this is not worthwhile...

Bottled. Pale yellow and cloudy with very lively, firm head. Light soapy, orangey aroma. Sweet and clean with a touch of almond, but overall very mild and neutral. Cheers fiulijn!

Golden color; big frothy head. Nice hop aroma, herbal, light. Simple, weak flavors, a bit sweet, oily; lack of hop and bitterness.

cloudy orange colour, creamy head, yeasty, bready and light citrusy, smooth and slightly tart with a spicy finish
