Commercial Description:
Fleur-de-lis Restoration Ale is made with English Pale, Lager, Crystal and Cara Pils malted barley. We liberally hopped and dry hopped our Ale with American Cascade and Centennial hops and fermented it with California Ale yeast. The result is a brilliant gold ale with a rich body, mild bitterness and a snappy fresh citrus hop flavor and aroma.

Bottle (Best if consumed by 04/07/06 on the six pack holder). Poured a golden color with a little off-white head that quickly disappeared. Each sniff throughout the drink brought a different aroma. First, grass, then citrus, then fresh baked bread, and then burnt hay. The flavor had honey and hints of citrus. Smooth and very drinkable with a sweet ending.

Bottle. Pours orange with an off white head. Sweet aroma with floral hops and caramel. Medium body. Flavor is again sweet with caramel, floral, grass, and a touch of citrus. Not bad.

Bottle from Frugal McDugal. Pours amber orange with a white head. Aroma of wet grains, floral hops, cara pils, and just a hint of lemon. Light bodied with a watery texture and macro like carbonation. Initial flavor of english pale malts and biscuit, countered by a stale citrus and herbal hoppiness. Short, dry and crisp bitterness. This tastes like a decent pale that was watered down. Way too thin and watery.

This is like an IPA that is not too overpowering with the hops. I have never seen the Fleur-de-lis label I think this should be categorized just as restoration ale.

The beer I drank certainly didn’t say Fleru-de-lis on it and it had a totally different label. Pretty average beer, the label also said Pale Ale, not Blond Ale

12 oz bottle. Medium to light amber pour with a decent small head and some lace. Aroma is biscuity, pale malts, nice fresh baked bread, toast, and some nice floral hops- seemed fresh. Pale malts balanced with a nice herbal and flowery hops- clean and crisp finish and a light hop bitterness. nothing crazy, but just a solid pale ale.
