Large bottle (75cl) with champagne cork, gold colour and thin head, not much aroma, slightly malty and sweet taste. It was ok with a BBQ in France

Bottle, 75cl corked, courtesy of MiP. It’s a clear, golden beer topped by an off-white head. The aroma is a nice blend of grains and fruits with a little spiced touch and some hops. The flavor is a bit too much on the citrusy side, else it’s more or less like the aroma, a pleasant blend of grains and fruityness with the hops giving a little bitterness. The coriander can also be sensed. Medium to full body, quite dry. A decent and easy drinkable beer. 090821
