Smells fishy and has a strange and off taste with aromas of brown sugar, malt and ... vegetables? This is not good!

A hazed amber ale with a thin off white head. In aroma, a light sweet malt with red fruit notes. In mouth, a nice sweet malt with grassy notes, silky mouthfeel, light off notes, like homebrew. Bottle from Paris, bought in May 2011. Shared with GRM, Aug.17 2011.

Cloudy gold beer. Dry palate. Creamy malt, a little citrus peeping through. Dry minerally finish. Okay flavour but over dry.

bottle from Village de la bière Strasbourg-France. Hazy pale golden colour, mid-sized white head. Malty, grainy with a dusty touch. I can’t specifically detect the seaweed, but the beer as an interesting character. After a while of tasting I imagine tasting some seaweed or salt in the finish.

Bought this at the La Cave à Bulles in Paris. Pours a nice golden color. Don’t pick p any seawwed in the nose or the flavor. Was expecting a litle seaweed flavor...mediocre beer overall.

A delightful good tasting beer. There really is no discernable "seaweed" flavor, although I do have a sense that its there... This beer would be properly described as pleasant rather than intense, rather like a mild pilsner in style. I really enjoyed it. Bought this at the La Cave à Bulles in Paris, and am going to return for some more :)

Bottle from La Soif du Malt. Hazy golden amber color with quite an exuberant beige head. Spice and fruit aromas over malt. Medium minus body with mild carbonation. Spicey and fruity flavors. Touch of honey. Finishes with a mild, dryish bitterness. Best seaweed beer I’ve ever had.

Bottled@omhper. French rating #100. Hazy orange colour, small head. Aroma is hops, malts, some spices and mild vegetably notes. Flavour is lots of spices along with grass, some honey and earthcellary notes.

UPDATED: MAR 16, 2009 Bottled, thanks Bov! Cloudy pale amber, rich airy head. Fruity with medium bodied and rounded, blown up mouthfeel. Fairly light flavoured with crystallic malt character. No bitterness.
