bottle - Pours golden with a medium sized white head. The aroma is of pale malt, yeast, and some alcohol. The flavor is of sweet pale malt and balanced hops that lead into a mildly dry finish. There’s some alcohol presence as well. Nice brew.

750ml bottle 3/31/10 (Binny’s Plainfield) 42° in snifter-Pours a clear amber with a big off white head. Aroma of yeast, bubble gum. and hops. Taste of the same with a bit more sweetness and malt along with some citrus. This light to medium bodied brew is easy drinking and pretty tasty. Not too shabby.

FatguyRacer (158) - Crownsville, Maryland, USA - FEB 5, 2010
750 Ml bottle. Another blowout special from Perfect Pour. Average compared to the previious offering I drank. Average color, kind of thin and watery but it has a pretty good bitter finish. Again, not bad for French beer. Still better than any macro. As an aside, I am impressed that none of these reduced priced specials are skunked.

drjay44 (1614) - Salida, Colorado, USA - JAN 24, 2010
750 ml. bottle. Shared with Gabe. Pours a medium white head with attractive lacing, over a very slightly hazy, golden (SRM 5) body....nose is very spicy, wiith vanilla, ginger sugar tones dominating.....taste initiallly light malt sweetness, followed by light coriander, allspice, finishing dry, with light hop herbal bite...mouth feel is medium, with alcohol heat to finish, carbonation low to medium. This meets the style, with the exception of the alcohol hot finish. BJCP 6/3/12/3/7
