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.

I was a little surprised by the low rating. I thought it was at least ok. Orange color with some faint hops, citrus, and alot of apples in there. A little watery and certainly nothing very impressive. But it will do and the bottle is quite interesting.

I was surprised by this ale. It was not the best I have ever had, but it was pretty good. Very noticable alcohol flavor in the first few sips. This is also a very dry and somewhat citrusy flavor with moderate carbonation. I agree with dwyerpg it is a neat bottle.

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.
