Style: Pale Lager
Obernai, France

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

Has a golden color with typical Euopean canned aroma. Easy drinking uncomplicated taste , simple in body. Good taste and carbonation. This could be a North American style beer by taste and that comparison makes sense consitering that is what is sold at MacDonalds in France and other European countries. Pretty enjoyable lager I think.

With a bottle as fancy as this one looks, you’d expect a much fuller flavor. Reminiscent of glass in the end, but the initial taste is actually quite pleasing. Something is left to be desired ultimately, but overall I’m pleased with the result.

Bottle. Strasbourg. I thought this is a better tasting pale lager from France. Good hop flavor and bitterness, little malt notes. Finishes clean and crisp. Enjoyable for sure.

Pint in a UK pub (5%). Fizzy amber lager, very smooth and tasty. A good blend rather than any sharp flavours.

Nothing special, just another regular pilsener. Nice yellow/golden color, average smell, decent taste and a low to medium body.

Bright golden in color with a thin white head. Sweet fruit is by far the strongest aroma coming from this beer offering cherries, apples and citrus grapefruits. There is also a rather nice hay complexity adding to the arom. Mostly mild on the palate, this offers up some tart fruit and a hint of grain. The finish is surprisingly rather long and dry.

Bottle. Pours a golden color with a decent and active white head. A very active beer, with lots of bubbles coming up. Looks tantalizing in the glass. Taste is of malt and hops with some sweetness. Has a nice bitterness to it. Aroma is the same. Very refreshing and pleasant to drink. I am impressed with this beer and look forward to buying it again. Also the bottle is pretty unique looking.
