Style: Pale Lager
Obernai, France

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

Deep gold color, sweet floral taste, rather typical Eurolager but not a bad beer to drink for the hell of it.

Draft pint at Nicholson’s in downtown Cincinnati, and served in a nice Kronenbourg 1664 glass. Pours a clear gold with a thin white head. Aroma of hops, wheat, grass, honey, bread. Flavor follows suit. Light body, mild carbonation, crisp. Quick finish. I think this is the first French beer I’ve ever had. It’s overpriced, but not as bad as other raters have suggested.

Fond memories of this beer from my youth on a trip to Paris. So lets see how it rates. Golden in color with a touch of orange. Thin head. A bit of a malty grassy aroma with a bit of sour milk thrown in. Mildly carbonated and light on the palate. Light on the bitterness with slight grassyness. It could be a bit better.

similar to a heineken, only less bitter. mix bud light with a heine and you’ll have this one. prob would not buy again, although it was cheap for an import.

Tap - Three Tuns, Canterbury. Golden yellow and clear despite the heavy carbonation. An OK white head. Faint aromas of slightly citric hops. Fresh and crisp bittersweetness and a thirst-quenching finish. At the end of a night out of drinking, I was in the mood for something light and refreshing and this did the job rather well. It’s a simple lager that does what simple lagers are supposed to do.

Pours a light golden color with a white head. Aroma is light of wheat, grassiness, and some slight floral hops. Flavor is a little stronger then I expected with wheat, grass, and floral hops. Better then the typical pale lager but still nothing special.

En cannette. Corps de couleur jaune doré, elle possède un mince col qui disparaît rapidement après quelques instants. Nez un peu amer mais doux tout à la fois. Arômes de malt, de blé et de légères touches de caramel et de métal. Le goût est assez quelconque, quoi que beaucoup mieux que bien des lagers américaines.

With a filtered flavor that removes much of the aroma, taste and palate this beer goes down smooth and is the best generic beer you can find. Viva la France!
