CapFlu (3480), Victoria, British Columbia, Canada Mar 26, 2007 (500ml bottle) Purchased at Spinnakers Spirit Merchants. Pours a thin, lasting white head with a clear, highly carbonated golden body. Nose if overly corn and wet grains. Flavour is tonic water mixed with mashed potatoes. Very poor.
junon (213), Honolulu, Hawaii, USA Nov 11, 2009 France has not impressed me yet with their beers. Faint roasted malt on the nose and not much else. Colour is fine. Very thin beer, lacks the rich flavour that Ive come to expect in my ambers, and just doesnt feel right in my mouth. Very watery and all flavour disappears at the end. Very easy to drink for a 6% beer though. Whether that is a good thing or not is up for debate. Doon (89), Phoenix, Arizona, USA Sep 30, 2009 Pours a yellow amber with a bright white head that soon dissipated quickly. Minimal lacing. Aroma wafts faint hints of malt, and that stinky skunky smell... Taste is not bad, very bland for an "amber" ale, it tastes more lager-ish to me. Odd aftertaste I can’t quite put my finger on... Fratto (670), Arlington, Texas, USA Sep 19, 2009 First, it’s a pretty poor amber. Second, it’s French. Third, my bottle was not badass like the one in the picture. Soured and not at all pleasing. robertjm (399), El Cerrito, California, USA Aug 29, 2009 Pours very fine off-white head that lasts. Body color is on the orange side of amber. Good carbonation w/large bubbles. Good sweet malty aroma. Flavor is not malty enough for me. Somewhat sour lingering in the background. Needed a cold one so it accomplished that, but not something that’s memorable. astrofrk (218), Knoxville, Tennessee, USA Aug 29, 2009
Amber. Medium head. Aroma: Grains, grass. Flavor: Same with a candy backing. Metallic, strange finish.
The French do OK with beers for a wine country. Just as long as they don’t try to compete with the Germans, Belgians or Brittish, they can hold thier own with the rest of Europe on Beers. JediMindTricks (240), Hampton, Virginia, USA Aug 24, 2009 I can’t say that I really enjoyed the taste of the beer. It as okay to begin with, with a nice amber color and thickish white head, but it was a little sour and had too much of a caramel flavor to it. drowland (1360), Tallahassee, Florida, USA Aug 4, 2009 Bottle into a pint glass at an Old Chicago. Weird almost wine-like beer that had me surprised from the first sip and kept me guessing. GranvilleTim (467), Granville, Illinois, USA Jul 5, 2009 Amber pour with off white head. Nice malt aroma. Sweetness, hops, caramel. Taste is malt and a little hops. Slight sweetness at the end. Kind of a refreshing beer on a hot day. Nice lacing- the head lasted till the last drink.
