clear yellow, smooth white head macro aroma, faint. sweet malty. flavor is refreshing, faint citrussy, faint hoppy, mild but balanced

Skunk nose with some hops. Piss yellow pour with dead white head. Skunk flavor with some hops. You didn’t expect a good beer to come out of France, did you? Bwaaahahahahahaha!

Tap at The Black Swan. Aroma couldn’t get past the musty pub smell, it was that light. Even went outside with it and could barely catch a hint of the grains. Sweet bread flavor, mild mild hop to it. It didn’t stand out, but it was a good quencher in this Florida summer.

Another clear gold lager with thick white head, musty scent etc. This was is a tad more carbonated but is decent.

Yellow with a light but nice creamy texture. Standard somewhat adjuncty lager. Aroma has lots of light-struck funk, but it’s not really noticeable in the taste. Good for style, but the worst french beer i’ve had yet.

Bottle. Thin head. Ample hops in the aroma and taste. Glad I get to add a beer from France to my list. Pretty good lager.

Very average, a bit skunky, but very clear in appearence. A typical euro pale lager. Easier drinking than the hene and a bit more refreshing too.
