2.2 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 2/5 TASTE 4/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 7/20
Bottle. Clear pale yellow with an abundance of large bubbles. Nice crisp hoppy pilsner aroma. Sweet taste up front, leading into a slight hoppy bitterness, some turpentine, and a little skunkiness. Medium-bodied.
3.2 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 12/20
Bouteille from Terres de Bières. Clear deep golden colour, large white head. Malty base, bitter-sweet character, good hoppy finish. Quite Czech in its overall character.
2.7 AROMA 4/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 4/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 11/20
330ml bottle from Monoprix, Marseille. Decent pale lager. Chewy malt, and a spanking of hops. A pleasant drink served cool from the fridge. It tastes like a Czech lager because that’s what it is. There is an interesting story regarding the history of the Parisian "Gallia" beer brand, which this is supposed to replicate - though it is unlikely the original beer tasted like this.
2.8 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 2/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 12/20
Bottle. Gold with a fast-fading white head. Grainy aroma with some earth and spice. Quite dry despite balance leaning towards grainy malt. Mildly spicy bitter finish lingers. Decent hops, rather bland malt.
3.1 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 12/20
Bottle. Pours clear golden with a medium head. Spicy and malty nose. Surprisingly dry and hoppy. Not bad.
2.9 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 12/20
Bottle 33cl, A clear yellow beer with huge head. Nose is caramel like, a dry pils, grainy, caramel like, notes of diacetyl, high bitterness at the finish, burnt caramel hints.
2 AROMA 3/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 4/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 7/20
33 cl bottle from Monop.
Doesn’t really smell like anything, but at least it doesn’t smell bad. More flavor than the average Pilsner, but that’s not saying much. It’s ok I guess.
2.7 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 10/20
Eh porca puttana, un’altra truffetta: servita come di microbirrificio francese al Brewberry. Lager manco cattiva.
3.6 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 14/20
Solid pilsener head, bright yellow body. Aroma heavy on cereals, some hops. Taste is a nice smooth hops flavour and a tart and dry finish. Very good in the way of pilseners.
