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.

First I have to say I love the way this beer is packaged, looks the part. 22 oz swing top amber coloured glass. Actually not a bad looking beer for the style light brown with a nice sized pure white head, attractive carbonation strings. smell is well average inoffensive but nothing really stands out..least it smells fresh. Taste while its thirst quenching is very one dimensional..sweet, very sugary..malts..not much hops to speak of. Its average on the tongue. Its drinkable yet it would get boring very fast.

I don't think the aroma was supposed to be like this...skunked out and fruity is the best way I can describe it. Just to be sure I got a second bottle and...it was the same. Looked nice with frothy head, taste was pretty good if a little too sweet, the aftertaste was kind of gross. I was disappointed considering the high price.

Bottle at Dusseldorf's restaurant in Ft. Myers, FL. This beer had a small sized white head with fine-small sized bubbles that mostly dissipated. The body was transparent with soft carbonation and a yellow hue. The nose was somewhat skunky, malty and light hops. The flavor was mild malt and hops with a smooth, watery and thin mouthfeel. This was a medium bodied beer with sparse lacing. I was anything but impressed with this beer. It was not an enjoyable beer.

TheDM and Hotstuff vacation brew 122. This bottled brew was sampled at Dusseldorf's restaurant in Fort Myers Beach Florida. This brew poured a head with mostly diminishing fine to medium sized white colored bubbles that left behind a head of fine to medium sized white colored long lasting bubbles that left behind a transparent orange colored uncarbonated body. The aroma was mildly skunked with mellow malt and hop notes while the mouthfeel was smooth and mildy tingly. It had a mellow malt hop flavor.

his beer poured a beautiful copper with a nice head. It went downhill from there. There's a slight aftertaste but I can't quite put my finger on it. It's a rubbery metalic taste. After I noticed it was from France I noticed some wine characteristics that reminded me of a dry white wine. It's not bad, but it's not what I want in a beer. This is better than most domestic pilsners and the price was cheap (plus a cool flip-top bottle!), but I still wouldn't buy another.

Smelled and tasted like a watered down french table white wine. I did enjoy the bottle though.

Not my bag, baby. very flat and simple. Very light bodied starts out a little sweet but quickly fizzles into nothing. Not crazy about this beer at all.

Very effervescent amber colour with a thick dense off-white head. Very foul vegetable aroma with a bitter nuttiness. Medium to Light-bodied; Odd taste which tastes like coca-cola at first, then switches to a gross maltiness. Sweet caramel flavour, but doesn't work well with this one. Aftertaste shows a very odd flavour-not pleasing. Overall, the bad vegetable flavours and sweet tastes don't really fit and, and make it not refreshing at all. I bought this 12 ounce bottle at Beers of the World in Rochester, New York.
