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.

Not to impressed, seems like a generic attempt at amber brewer, even though it was made in France. average malts. sour notes. unappealing.

Bottled at a little bar in Boston. Admittedly, I didn’t expect much from this beer and purchased it primarily as a novelty. Clear dark amber pour with red highlights under a small white head with some lacing. Faint aroma of malt and hay. Very little balance in the flavor with entirely too much malt and a hint of candy cane. Some hops fought their way in but were quickly and unceremoniously dispatched. Mouthfeel was nothing special but not watery and the finish was a bit sour. If you’re looking for a change of pace beer from a non beer producing country, this one fits the bill but it doesn’t deserve a second glass.

Pour is a pale brown with a white head. Aroma is hard to find. Nothing really going on there...next. Flavor is pretty much the same. There are some malts used but that is about it. Bland and boring.

Dark gold with a big white head. Grainy, sweet corn aromas and a lot of carbonation. Tinny and sweet, touch of hops, pretty bland overall. Crisp, slightly bitter aftertaste. Nice bottle.

Sour, wine-like aroma. Clear amber colour with large off-white head that lasts forever. Sour and wine-like flavour with watery texture and fizzy carbonation. Drinkable but just barely. Bottle. Entered from notes.

This liquor shoud not be consumed by anyone, ever. It pours tea colored with no head. Upon opening the bottle, which was stuck shut from all the sugar in the beverage, a foul aroma arose that caused my right eye to twitch and water. This beverage was flat as a water and tasted like alcohol with a good dose of white sugar. When swallowed this liquid leaves a burning sensation on the back of the throat. I gave this beer one point for it not killing me.

Not a bad brew, though a tad sweet for regular consumption. Good floral notes and just enough character to keep the sweetness in line.

Bottle. Pours a nice clear amber color with a thick and long lasting off-white head - looked good in the glass, but this was as good as it gets. Aroma of soapy, corny malts and floral hops - reminded me more of a lager aroma than an ale. Flavor is adjuncty sweet, with metallic notes and more of the floral hops and a rather unpleasant wet newspaperish acid aftertaste. Light body and gentle carbonation. Guess I shouldn’t expect much from a French beer and a macro at that.
