Blond color. Partially interesting aroma, with some mango and peach; the flavor reminds me some beer homebrewed with dry malt: thin body and long infusion; some bitterness.

Bottle 33cl, a cloudy golden beer with low head. Nose is on peppery hops, yeast and a bit acid like. Aroma has agrume notes, mostly lemon, medium sweet, medium malty, some wheat astringency. Finish gives grassy hops notes with medium bitterness. OK but no more, should have more aromatic hops.

5.0% (not 5.5%) slightly hazy cold colour with a thin head, sweet hop aroma, slightly sweet citrus taste.

bottle from Village de la Bière Strasbourg. Hazy golden colour with floaties. Malty body, balanced of with citrusy-herbal hops. Very nice.

Bottle courtesy of my sister. Pours a cloudy yellow with a white head. Aroma of yeast and citrus. Flavor of coriander, yeast, and citrus. A little too carbonated for my taste, but a decent beer overall.

Bottle from La Cave à Bulles. Hazy orange gold color with a large, fine white head. Aromas of citrus and fleshy light fruits. Medium body with frothy carbonation. It’s a little bitter with citrus and likely coriander. It’s both fruity and floral. Finishes decently bitter. Strongly flavored for a blonde. A joy to drink.

UPDATED: SEP 17, 2007 Bottled. Much bulky and creamy foam, optimal persistence and adhesion. Hazy yellow color, orange reflex, extremely bubbly and rich of beads. Elegant and much racy. Optimal appearance. Acidulous and sour scent, notes of tropical fruit and malt. Excessive stinging taste, much lively and prickly. Absent bitter, much acidulous and sour one, notes of lemon, grapefruit and mango. Medium along final.

Citrusy grapefruit rind, ozone, light cat pee. Yeast and farmhouse. Cloudy light golden-amber with thin white head. Medium-light body with light carbonation. Starts out OK, citrus, yeast, farmhouse must, ozone. Light sweetness, medium acidity, light bitterness. Hops at end are fruity and tangy, but there is a big amount of salty residue and chalkiness in the finish and after, like it was made with softened water. Kind of a turn-off. Good amount of hops.

Hazy yellow colour with a big white head. Acidic aroma with notes of spices and grass. Taste of corn with a bit bitterness. Very drinkable beer, but nothing special.

pale golden colour with a fine foam, citrusy hoppiness with some strange notes of vegetables, medium-bodied, clean maltiness, sweet and moderate malty finish
