Caramel notes, poor in apperance, light beer, nothing complex, maybe too young, but good malty taste

33cl brown bottle at Le Sous Bock - Paris. Labeled 6%, the dense reddish amber beer had a light head and medium body. Very light hops preceded a rich malty/berry flavor where the maltiness led into a slightly alcoholic aftertaste. Overall, a nice "red".

From bottle at Le Sous-Bock, Paris. Hazy deep copper with a stable, off-white head. Malty and spicy aromas and flavours with a very dry finish. Quite full-bodied. Improves with drinking.

Aroma is very fruity and hoppy. A mix between the cat pee-grapefruit of highly hopped IPAs with the sour wild strawberrry of a fruit beer. Hazy red-amber with chunks, topped with off-white thin foamy lacing head. Medium watery body with light carbonation. Tastes hit you one at a time, rather than a melded cacophony of flavors. Sweet, berries, straw, hops, yeast, metal. The finish is light acidic, with yeasty bitterness and metallic fruitiness. After is fruity with light chalky bitterness. Overall, not a bad beer, and reminds me more of an American pale ale with it’s hoppiness than it does a typical French brew.

Bottle 33cl, a cloudy amber-brown beer with medium creamy head. Nose is malty and caramel like. A creamy beer, very malty and cereal like with carared notes and even toasted notes but dry with a medium to low body. Heavy malt bitterness, whisky malt notes and astringency at the finish.

33 cL bottle. Pours cloudy dark orange with a small white head. Aroma is mild fruity and light citric. Phenolic and dark malty flavoured. A bit of toffee and dry malt flavour. Dry finish with a bit of phenolic and yeasty estery fruity note.

Hazy brown colour with a big beige head. Aroma of mats, with notes of fruit and alcohol. Sweet flavor dominated by malts and a bit smoke (whiskymalt ?). Not much bitterness and aftertaste.
