Bottle. Golden copper clear beer with a small offwhite head. Malty, a bit roasted, hoppy and metallic aroma. Strange sweetness, metallic and hoppy flavour.

250ml Bbttle. Clear amber color with a small white head. Aroma is a bit disapointing, was expecting chesnut but got mild sweet malty aroma. Medium body, nice mouthfeel. Taste is light malty sweetnessand a moderate hoppy bitter finish. Better than I anticipated and worht tasting.

330ml bottle. Clear amber color. Metallic, apple jam, malty aroma. Malty, roasted, smoked, sweet flavor. Smoky aftertaste.

50cl can from some grocery store in Paris. Pours a crystal clear, golden amber colored body with an inch thick, frothy, off-white head that dissipates slowly and leaves a nice lacing. Aroma is grainy and a bit metallic with a slight nutty sweetness. Touches of fruit and a hint of hops. Flavor is similar. Lightly sweetened, grainy malts with traces of nuts, fruits, and herbal hops. Finishes dry and lightly bitter with a slight metallic taste before leaving a medium length aftertaste. Medium body and a moderate carbonation. Overall, a pretty basic beer. Nothing special, but nothing too off. Eh...

Bottles from Mam and Dad’s holidays Venice, France and Drinkswell Ripon. An amber beer with malty and toffee flavours, a creamy mouthfeel, earthy notes and a spicy, dry finish.

Ambrée filtrée à la mousse non persistante, bulles rares et fines. Amertume moyenne (châtaignes?), courte en bouche, légère astringence sur la fin. Plutôt quelconque...

Bernsteinfarben, feinporiger Schaum. Leicht würzmalziges Aroma neben dem Hopfen zu erschnuppern. Im Geschmack gute Würze vom Maronenmalz, wirkt geradezu ale-ig mit trockenem Abgang.

Peu de mousse, couleur jaune orangé assez foncé, bulles régulières ; florale en nez. Moins fruitée que prévu, mais néanmoins sucrée à souhait. La farine de châtaigne qu’elle contient se décèle (noix, bois). Le bois reste, pendant que l’alcool se fait discret en arrière-plan. Un soupçon caramélisé tapisse le palais. Une blonde originale. Le goût, principale qualité, est parfaitement dosé, et offre des notes sucrées plutôt étonnantes. Elle est également pourvue d’une charmante couleur, ce qui rachète un nez très timide, et une finale un brin trop agressive.

330ml bottle at Porterhouse Cork. Aroma is hay, a hint of chestnut and some vague toffiness. Taste is a medium malty sweetness with a light bitterness. Nuttiness gets a bit lost, unfortunately, leaving a fairly standard lagery taste. Malty caramel aftertaste with lively carbonation. A fine beer, refreshing, but nothing special.

Bottle. Pours a clear amber beer with a small white head. Aroma is slightly skunked in a way, with a small matly base. Flavour is bland and a little sweet. Palate is quite watery and has a thin mouthfeel with a short aftertaste. Not much special, ok session beer.
