Saverne, France

Serve in Flute, Footed Pilsner

500ml can, 5.5% a/v Gold pour with a generous white head. Aroma consists of corn, malt, and fruit. The taste is fresh and citrusy, with green apple taste. Very nice beer, much b etter then anticipated. Nice green apple and hop finish.

A touch of orange in the appearence, with a bright, citrus and apple nose. Fresh but bitter on entrance - increasing as it fills the mouth. If not for the cream, hint of vanilla and the crispness, the bitterness would spoil. The bitterness does fade somewhat on the finish as well.

Bottled, 330ml. Pale yellow gold with white head. Tinny, sweet, sticky lager, thin, bland and pretty poor all round, avoid.

clear gold, headless, sweet corn aroma, lots of nice bitter hop flavor trying to balance the sweet core malt but the sweetness is so coying that it falls short,

UPDATED: JAN 14, 2008 Tasted metallic. Bitter, disgusting aftertaste. Did not enjoy this at all. Something went wrong in the production of this, hops must’ve gone bad over and over and over again.

[490-20070809] 500mL. Mostly straw and grains aroma, lightly toasted, slightly mouldy. Clear, gold orange body with a long-lasting foamy white head. Lightly toasted hay flavour has a subtle and not too appealing light fruit background. Light-medium body is noticeably watery. Not impressive.

500 ml can. poured pale yellow with small white head that dissapeared quickly. aromas are very hard to find, a little malty sweetness shows as it warms. flavours are almost non-existant. no hops at all. watery, bland and boring.

Has a favour similar to that of Old English Malt Liqour, with a metallic aluminum finish. ThisIf this is the best beer France has to offer than they have serious problems.
