Toweringly huge, but very solid, rapidly collapsing head, white, fed by lively carbonation in a Chablis-like coloured beer; lace. Distinctly winey nose, white wine, malonic acid, fresh green leaves, lemonjuice and somewhere pale malts. Disturbingly, it’s not at all a jumble, but perfectly integrated! In the taste, the balance tilts to the barley, rather than the grape; dry <i> "à souhait"</i>, pale malts dominated, little pinch of fresh &#40;winey&#41; sourishness in the finish. Just not grapey. Fizzy MF, dry but nearly absent aftertaste, just a metallic reminiscence and some undistinct sweetness: my only point of dissention. I owe marcusm an apology, even when he’s not aware of it. When he first posted enthusiastically about this beer, my &#40;silent&#41; reaction was one of disbelief - a gimmick, a non-event. Brother was I wrong, this rocks. Thanks, Marcus! Needs to be served very cold, warming up dulls it.

Easy drinking with a soft mouthfeel, beer flavor is there, but aftertaste is dominated by the Cremant. good.

Clear, light yellow with almost no head. Grassy hop aroma and some fruitiness. Fruity flavours with the toffeeish maltiness appearing towards the end. Well-balanced bitterness, complex spiciness. Rather light mouthfeel. A nice and out of the ordinary beer.

Golden blond coloured beer with lots of carbonation and a small white head. Nice hoppy and fruity &#40;green apple&#41; aroma with some light herby touches. Medium to full palate. Finish is again light fruity, with some apple, hoppy sweet touches near the end. Nicely balanced, special brew.
