Tap at L’ Agape Cafe, Serris, France.
Pours an average lively yellow with an aroma of trash bin coriander. Flavor is weak melon and peach with a slight bubblegum/banana finish. Average mouthfeel. A big letdown after the taste cuvee blanche.

Bottle, St. Denis, France. Slightly hazy yellow-orange body, medium creamy buff head. Fruity, tart nose with pear, apple, and pineapple, spice, and grassy hops. Spicy body with clove, light fermented fruit, and a lingering spicy aftertaste. Cakey and salty.

Very nice, but lacks a few minor things. Clear golden color, pretty nice head. Strong banana, sweet fruit smell. fresh bread, banana taste. carbonation was light. A bit too malty for my pleasure, but i’d definately drink another.

Bottled. Golden color, sparkling carbonation, small head. Aroma is sweet, with fruit notes. taste is fresh, sweet, hints orange with nice long light bitter finish. Pretty Good.

Bottled. A clear golden beer with a huge white head. Aroma is malty and fruity with some grassy notes. Taste is malty and sweet. Some spiceness and citrus notes. Bitter finish

Pours out lightly amber coloured. Nice head that holds good. Spicey-hoppy a bit sour but nice smell. Had to check the bottle, cause the taste seems a lot like a standard triple-taste at the first nip. Not bad.

Bottle. Pours a clear golden beer with a foamy white head. Aroma of sweet fruits, banana, hay. Taste is of honey, fruits, grainy aftertaste.

Draft sample at a random cafe in Paris. Blond in colour with medium carbonation. Aromas are of banana, pilsner malt, and a bit of black pepper. More fruity banana in the mouth, along with vanilla, wheat, spicy yeast, minerals, and a faint herbal note. Slightly sticky mouthfeel. Not bad overall, but a bit blah.
