75cl bottle from Brune Rousse Houblon in Nice, France. Pours a cloudy yellow colored body with a finger-width, creamy and frothy, white head that dissipates slowly and leaves a nice lacing. Aroma is lightly sweetened, bready wheats with some orange peel, yeast, and a slight citrusy tartness. Flavor is similar. Lightly sweetened, somewhat bready and grainy wheats with a light orange peel and some yeasty spice. Finishes clean and fairly dry with a faint bitterness. Short aftertaste following a medium-light body and a soft, moderate carbonation. Overall, a decent wit. Not a whole lot going on, but balanced, clean, and easy drinking. Not bad.
