Tap at Brasserie du Marche, Espalion, France: Clear gold with a classic fluffy white head. Pleasant spicy fake bananas in the nose, and a good whack of wheaty bite followed by a late banana hit on the palate. A nice bit of bite to the finish too. Very refreshing.

On tap, several occasion. Golden colour with a nice thick creamy head. Aroma of fruits, esters, some sourness. Flavour is soft, sweet, a bit tart, fruity, a bit alcohol. Has more carbonation when its bottled, the tap version is imo one of the best of the commercially available blond beers.
