3.5 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 5/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 5/5 OVERALL 14/20
Can 0,50L. Clear, dark gold colour with two fingers of stable, frothy white head. Mostly malty aroma of cookies, bisquits, grain, cereal and also some hoppy citruses touch. Smooth, almost creamy beer. Taste is somehow neutral at the start and goes into light medium aftertaste. Medium to full bodied beer with soft carbonation. Way better beer than I expected.
2.6 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 10/20
Bottled. Deep amber colour, mediumsized slightly off-white head. Aroma is grass, grains, some slight alcohol as well as some mild toffeeish notes. Flavour is caramel, toffee, some alcohol and mild tsweetness. Actually not that harsh.
2 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 2/5 TASTE 4/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 6/20
Very pale golden body with bubbly stable white head. Yeasty pilsner aroma with slightly more light malts, which isn’t necessarily good. Taste isn’t very fresh and a bit astringent. Even some alcohol here. I don’t see the point in this Gold. (50cl can from Carrefour in Tours)
2.5 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 2/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 11/20
50 cl can, Paris, France. Medium gold, sweet hoppy aroma. Somewhat thicker than 1664, sweet, with a faint spice on the finish.
1.5 AROMA 2/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 2/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 6/20
Pours gold, smells grain, taste bread, alcohol reminds you it’s beer.
No interest.
2.4 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 2/5 TASTE 4/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 11/20
Canned. Golden coloured. Sweetish bready aroma. Sweet malty flavour and notes of alcohol.
2.9 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 5/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 5/5 OVERALL 7/20
6.1% gold colour with a nice head, not much aroma and light taste but very refreshing on a hot day
1.7 AROMA 2/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 2/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 8/20
Can from a Monoprix near Republic in Paris. Pours dark gold with a creamy white head. Aroma is grainy with some hints of grass. Flavor is grainy/bready with too much sugar for a miniscule amount of hop to balance. It’s not sweet, but for me it’s far from dry. Good thing: It’s not one of those fusil oil bombs.

In bottle. Typical macro brewed lager => tasteless. better thàn most of them but I don’t recommend it...
