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.

Aroma has skunks. Color is orange. Taste is dry and a little sour. Is this a lager or ale? I'm confused. Oh well, it was cheap. Props to my dad for the history lesson on this region of France.

Not much aroma...reminded me of a nut brown. Brownish amber color, not much red there. Flavor is thin and watery, malty. A metallic aftertaste. Kinda thin and weak bodied.

Very light body. Good frothy white head that sticks around for a tad. Clear golden brown color. Funny, aroma and flavor are almost sour and wine-like. (What else would you expect from France?) Flavorful though, even for such a light-bodied amber.

Good stuff "i picked me up one of these bad boys at Albertson’s and drank it wit my hommie J. He like it too." Sorry my roommate was being a jive and I had to mimmick the way he was acting. All in all a good beer.

good amber color. A foamy head. Good malt flavor, even for an amber. No real hop flavor. It's sub-par, than again what do you expect from wine drinking France.

(bottled). Brilliantly clear dark gold color. Thin malt aroma. I won't describe the flavor as "rich": slightly carmelly or nutty with a thinnish body and virtually no bitterness. Despite the lack of hop balance, the finish is lingering with a sweet malt pleasantness.

Smells and tastes more like a hard cider than a Amber ale. Anyways, I find the small amount of flavor in this beer to be pleasing to my palate.

The only thing that would make this beer better would be to not have the occasional skunk. The bottle looks good, but I have had a few that went bad. A very good tasting beer. tastes light and isn't too sweet or bitter. Has a good punch for such a light taste.
