Golden yellow, white head, big bubbles. Some malt, some hops, maybe an adjunct or two. Lighter body. Nothing that offensive, but pretty bland.

Pale golden color, head quickly gone, but leaving some lace. The nose is slightly grassy with some hops. The body contains some bitterness following a rather intense spritziness. Finishes with a light bitterness and some accompanying grassiness.

Sterile, "lagery" aroma. Typical gold appearance. Forget this one, save your palet.

04/10 Here goes my first real French beer, a 0.33 l bottle from an Europaspar in Graz. Pale golden bodied with medium head. Very cheap aroma of some minor hops, typical for a pale lager. Flavor was even less impressive, slightly bitterish, watery, almost tasteless, with lot of carbonation. Almost no finish and what left is not pleasant but so short it doesn’t matter. Can’t believe the main French export beer is so dull.

Certainly light--in all aspects. Appearance, Aroma, Flavor. All are really light with this one.

12 oz bottle purchased at World Market in Hendersonville. Poured a pale yellow color with a two finger sparse, white head. The aroma was grassy hops and a bit of citrus. The flavor was slightly metallic, but clean with a grassy finish.

A lighter color beer. Full body. Thick syrup texture with heavy malts. Some tin can water flavor as well. Mildly bitter. Long finish. A tad too sweet I’d say.

33cl bottle. Very good standard lager, excellent with curry’s or anything else spicy that needs a decently strong beer to soothe the tastebuds.
