Can: Light aroma - harmless, piss yellow color, low lathery head. Ok light malt taste and a balanced hopiness, though not bitter or sweet at all. Thin and watery. Drain pour.

Country #97 for me. Thanks Pascal (jaghana)! Golden body with puffy white head. Nose is quite corny and reminds me of seaweed. Taste is lager, lager. Some corn and malts. Paper finish. Pretty poor. But a new country nonetheless...

Can 50cl. A clear yellow beer with low head. Nose is on some sweet fruit. Aroma is dry and low malty with notes of bubblegum. Metallic finish without any hops aroma, poor and boring.

The color is pale blond, hazy. The aroma is cornish. Poor flavor, corn and straws, with light honey tones (therefore not fresh anymore) and very low bitterness. Poor.

Oh yeah, that’s the stuff - even though it seems like a miracle of time and space that you can get a proper English ale in France, there’s no problem in getting a pale lager from the Carribean on short notice! So this is a 500ml can, surprisingly available in the Parisian area, and it pours with plenty huge head and a murky yellow body. The aroma is lemon, citrus, and malt. The taste is a conflicting mess - it’s artifical, but rather nice. It’s a mix of barley and caramel, and obviously over-engineered, yet - it tastes pretty good. It’s kind of like that you know it’s fake but you don’t really care, because it tastes pretty good. Thus, it’s a tasty brew, and worth a try if you happen to come across it.

25 cL bottle, courtesy of Ungstrup. Pours cloudy yellow with a small white head. Aroma is dry grassy and slight malty. Grassy and slight cardboardish to metallic flavoured. Bitter and dry finish.

bottled. Light golden coloured. Clear. Dense off white head. Aroma of grass and herbs. Flavour of grass and light fruits and additives. Thin bodied. Sweet and fruity end. Typical tropical lager. Thx. Ungstrup for sharing.

Bottled. A golden beer with a lazing off-white head. The aroma has skunky notes of brewing cereal, malt, metal, and straw. The flavor is sweet with notes of brewing cereal as well as lighter notes of malt and metallic hops, leading to a dry metallic finish.

Bottle 25 cl. Courtesy of Ungstrup. Pours yellow with a slight haze and a small white head. Sweet aroma of brewing cereal. Medium body, sweet corn and loads of cardboard. Dryish finish. 080210

Golden colour. Decent head. Slightly herbal aroma. Sweet, soft and very clean with a nice malty character. Good for what it is.

Can. Pale yellow with scant off-white head. Sweet cornflake aroma. Sticky-sweet body and too close to the experience of high fructose corn syrup to be enjoyable, unfortunately, even when had on a sailboat...
