Style: Pale Lager
Obernai, France

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

The aroma is a bit skunky and wet newspaper like - probably due to the green bottle (which has an unusual and interesting shape). Appearance - almost see through light golden with liitle to no head. Flavor has a bit of a hoppy bite to it with some underlying sweetness. Kind of an odd mouthfeel to it - slightly stinging. Not a bad lager overall - but the French should stick to wine.

Bottle. Pale blond pour with a small fizzy white head that’s gone before you know it. Nose is grassy and grainy with light cereal and soft hops. Taste is sweet malts, cereal, grassy notes, Euro hops and buttery biscuit. Body is crisp and dry with moderate carbonation and a light-medium overall feel. Ends with more hops, grassy notes and light cereal.

Golden colour with a thin fast-dying white head. Aroma of skunk, malt, subtle hops and a minute sweetness. Medium to Light-bodied; Sweet malty flavour with caster sugar and a subtle skunkyness. Aftertaste is very clean, but shows a bit of sweetness. Overall, decent, but not stellar. I was lucky enough to have the actual French version of this beer-no english on the labels at all! Phil's (Haddon90) parents brought a case of this back with them when then went out to France, and I was lucky enough to try one of these 25 cL bottles. I sampled this beer on 25-November-2003.

Maltier than many draught lagers sold in UK but still watery, headless and unexciting. Quenches thirst but so does plain water...

Rubia de ligero aroma y sabor fuerte. Es una buena cerveza ;) Mejor que una heinehen por lo menos para mi

Bottle: Good, frothy, white head that lasted well with good lacing. Clear, pale-gold colour. Initially a very ’organic’ nose that I couldn’t place as anything other than horse manure. However, it quickly turned into a fresh herbacious hop aroma. Tasted of mildly malty though somewhat thin. Some lemon notes, but really not any depth or complexity. Nothing special, but very easy to drink.

Tastes like a standard premium lager, with perhaps some better quality than the American macrobrews, but not enought to pay extra $$ for it.

This beer tastes like Becks Light. Nice gold color. Head fades to a thin layer quickly. Flavor and aroma nothing special. This beer actually tasted better than I expected. I probably won’t by it again, but if someone gave me one, I drink it.
