3.2 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 13/20
750ml bottle from the in laws-to-be. Filmy orange with the bits in and a good, subsiding billow of head. Aroma of lime, lilies, slight farmyard. Grassy hop speckled with sherbet; candy cigarette and oaked hints. Straight down the middle, tasty, no frills stuff. The condition dies over a bottle, but this is good enough to make me wonder what other minor treasures are lurking over the border in that obstacle between England and Belgium...Frenchland, I think they call it.
