Bottled. According to brewers website this is an IPA, though a light one in ABV. The aroma is citric, little malty and a bit grassy. Hazy, yellow-orange coloured beer with a white, lasting head. The taste is light bitter and citrus mainly. Refreshing, easy beer for the warm months.

3 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 13/20 erickok (2292) - Tours, FRANCE - FEB 20, 2013
Cloudy dark golden body with quickly diminishing grey head. Clearly meant to be hop forward, but the aroma of fermented fruit, sweaty malts and and humous leave more of a bière de garde feel for me than an ipa. Suits me well though. Carbonation is lively, diminishing the taste a bit, especially the malty body. What’s left is a bitter, nee, astringent profile with dry, even watery aftertaste. Bit disappointed by this one. Aroma started out well yet odd, but the flavour does not deliver what it should. Needs to get the carbonation under control (although no gusher here) and it will already be much better. (33cl bottle from Bière Révolution)

Gusher alert! Unclear yellow/brown colour, big fluffy, lacing head. Smells orange peel, pils, malty. Tastes like a blond beer, unfresh. Great carbo, okay body.
