bought on can head is not very impressive clear-golden smells hoppy and malty,smellssweet tasts hoppyer than it smells,but not very hoppy,tasts less sweet than it smells,some hidden bread-taste. aftertaste hoppy and a bit of bread-like taste too. not very complex flavours but refreshing,not bad.better than much other ,more booring lagers.good to drink on a warm summerday outdoors,perhaps with a meal from "alsace2(the french region where it comes from),for example "flammkuchen",but not a beer to drink in the evening with good friends for discussing about the taste.

Bottle 25cl. @ home.
Clear medium yellow color with a average to large, frothy, good lacing, mostly lasting, white head. Aroma is moderate malty, grain toasted, corn, sweet malt. Flavor is moderate sweet and light to moderate bitter with a average duration. Body is light to medium, texture is watery, carbonation is soft. [20090314]

Thoroughly uninteresting basic lager from France. Consumed out of the very typically French 250ml bottles which left something to be desired but this way the beer always tasted fresh. Well-carbonated but missing the Euro "funk" that Becks and similar beers have.

Draft. Light straw in color. Not much aroma. Thin body. A somewhat sweet flavor with a dry finish. Refreshing but relatively uninteresting.

WallyWalrus (205) - Minneapolis, Minnesota, USA - AUG 20, 2008
12oz bottle. Pours an effervescent clear straw color with a good white head. Aroma is light and somewhat sweet, with a smell of malt, earth, floral hops, and an odd skunkiness. Taste is fairly full, with a malty body predominated by a mingling of sweet hops and earthy grains and yeast. Thoroughly average overall, and actually rather good for the style.

Hammster (187) - Eagan, Minnesota, USA - NOV 26, 2007
Bottle. Clear gold with a cloudy and large white head. Enjoyable grassy aroma was pretty strong for a pale lager. Pretty sweet and malty flavor. Medium bodied. Finish is slightly filling and malty. Decent considering it comes from France.

Westmeister (464) - Atlanta, Georgia, USA - SEP 28, 2011
Bottle. Pours a straw yellow with decent lacing. Smell is wheat and some hops with some citrus and also some sweetness. Taste was better than I would have thought. Refreshing, crisp, a good hop bite. In the top tier of pale lagers for whatever that is worth.

Headbanging lager, although a bit better than average in the popular beers stakes.
