| 2.1 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 4/10 | 3/5 | 4/10 | 2/5 | 8/20 | Nov 1, 2007 Bottle. Pours a typical golden amber color with a decent sized white head. Aroma is heavy on the yeast, somewhat sweet, malty. Taste is much the same. Rather ordinary, but drinkable and refreshing. pumpmaster (476), Pembroke Pines, Florida, USA
| 2.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 3/5 | 5/10 | 3/5 | 10/20 | Oct 15, 2007 12 ounce bottle brought from France available at Total Wine Ft Lauderdale $2.29 RealAleDave (45), St. Louis, Missouri, USA
| 1.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 3/10 | 3/5 | 3/10 | 2/5 | 7/20 | Oct 11, 2007 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). dkachur (2352), Charlottesville, Virginia, USA

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.

| 2.1 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 3/5 | 4/10 | 2/5 | 7/20 | Sep 30, 2007 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. douglas88 (1580), Salt Lake City, Utah, USA
| 3.1 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 4/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 12/20 | Sep 14, 2007 Updated: Apr 29, 2008Awesome 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. kp (8400), Woodstock, Georgia, USA
