Obernai, France

Serve in Dimpled mug, English pint, Lager glass, Shaker

Pale bronze hue came with a quickly dissipating foamy white head. The aroma is fairly bland, mostly wheat and cereal grain along with bottled applesauce and the faintest hint of woodsy hops. Sweet malt and corn flavour initially, surprisingly acidic and sharp middle, flowing into a grainy, peppery finish. Medium to light bodied, reasonably firm texture, explosive carbonation. Other than the applesauce and acidity, I don’t suppose there’s much technically wrong here, but there’s nothing to cause excitement. Labeled at 5.5% abv. 50cl can, Leffe goblet, bbe 08/2008.

From the bottle.

Pours light yellow-amber with a small head; the aroma is a sort appealing drinking-in-the-sunshine-on-the-beach grassy hops; but the flavor is a bit sweet, not so strong on the hops, a bit of stewed corn, and while not unpleasant not memorable in any way either.

gold, small white head. a thin, sweet lager with very little in the way of hops or anything redeeming.

Nice medium gold. Standard issue nose, some malt influence, otherwise unremarkable. Fairly neutral palate, more malt flavours than one would typically expect from the genre. Slightly dry finish.

Had this sampled in Collioure, close to the eastborder to Spain with Sus, Jes and Helle on the biketour. We enjoyed it alot after the biketours to Latour and pleased it for its watery flavor.

Bottle. Pours a pale golden color with a small white head that diminishes quickly. The aroma is wheat grass and floral. Decent lacing on the glass. The taste is a typical lager with corn mat and a bit skunky. Not too much going on with this pale lager from Kronenbourg.

Light yellow with carby bubbles but little white head. Aroma of grassy wheat and a mild taste to match. Fair palate and finish.
