Commercial Description:
A slightly roasted malt gives it a light amber color. The rich flavor dominates the malt/hops balance and is very popular among most beer drinkers.

More deep gold with a blush of red than full blown amber. Bright white, extremely fine head settles quickly to an incomplete cap leaving minimal lacing. Nose is caramel malt, earthy, leafy hop, and a not insubstantial whiff of sulfur. Some mineral comes through with time. Pretty thin in the mouth. Some malt, but not much caramel, and not much depth. There is a pretty good dose of sulfur on the finish that it is not very pleasant. Substantial mineral content really accentuates the carbonation in this one. Not my ideal vision of fine lager carbonation. Drinkable, but little to recommend it. This is bottle 4 of my six pack. The cap indicates a best before date, but I’ll be damned if I can decipher it (and I speak passable drinking French too).

Bottle. Long lasting head, light brown color. No real aroma to speak of. Flat and thin taste... sour, almost skunky, with a little hint of some life at the end there serves only to heighten this beer’s mediocrity. Thin bodied.

Very light and rather metallic for a beer in a bottle. It tastes as though the water used may have had a high mineral content. Certainly no jaw dropper here.

Awesome bottle. Pours a light amber with a good head. The taste is quite light; an earthy sweet malt followed by a hint of hops. It’s subtle, but a lot better than 15 percentile. The bottle perhaps suggests amazing things to come, but instead it’s just good.

a little watery a little fruity a little malty and a little nutty sweet. a little refreshing and a little wanting in the identity department.

I have to mirror some of the comments below. I didn’t know about this beer until recently and was fairly disappointed. It looks like any other amber but has a metallic finish. Does not smell or taste very pleasant.

15 percentile is a bit harsh, but this really isn’t a great beer. I was intrigued by the bottle and where it was from, (Alsace region) but I was dissappointed. Nice color & head, but lacks flavor. Goes down easy, but like Chinese food, leaves you wanting more, simply due to lack of substance.
