visionthing (214) - Oslo, NORWAY - FEB 1, 2012
Bottle (4,7%). Pours golden with a white head. Aroma of sweet malt with a hint of hops. A bit sweet and fruity with a just slightly bitter finish. OK from bottle, and not so bad fresh from tap late at night.

Probably slighty better than the regular Kronenbourg. But not enough to explain the price. To avoid...

For me this is one of the best premium larger available in the UK compared to the other verities we have on our super market shelf or draught at the pub. It has a grassy / hoppy aroma which lack in other locally available beers, the best quality of this beer is that it has a lengthy after taste and is therefore much more satisfying to drink even after the first sip. Highly recommend on a hot summers day and very refreshing. Recommended draught.

luttonm (852) - Belgrade, SERBIA - JAN 28, 2012
Draft at a student union bar in London. Last ’new’ beer of my England trip, ouch. Drivel: weak, sour and too flavorful in the wrong ways. pale and a bit offensive. Glad this hasn’t invaded Belgrade, worse than the local macro lagers.

boxofrane (202) - pottstown, Pennsylvania, USA - JAN 26, 2012
Bottle. Pours pale yellow, clear, with a small white head. Smell is pretty minimal but there is some bread in there. Taste is light, crisp, and very drinkable. I went into this will very low expectations but this is a solid lager from France. I’d drink this again.

kingstoni (157) - FINLAND - JAN 23, 2012
Bottle. Clear light golden colour with a minimal head. Aroma is hay and malt. Weak taste.

Malty taste along with some alcohol notes. Very watery but it’s farmhouse/ funky taste masks that.....
