COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTION
This French-style country ale is deep amber in color. With a toasty, sweet caramel start, it finishes with just enough hops to clean off the palate. Bon Appetit!

DSG (3929) - Tel Aviv, ISRAEL - APR 4, 2013
Bottle sample at a tasting at the new Beer & Beyond shop. Thanks kerenmk. Hazy orange-amber. Aroma of malt, caramel, some oxidation notes, a bit of fruitiness and light hoppy notes. Sweetish malty flavor, pretty stale, with some caramel, honey, a bit of fruitiness and a finish with light bitterness. Medium-bodied. Seems old.

Light Carmel flavor. Not much finish. This seems more like a lighter brown ale then a French country ale. ---Rated via Beer Buddy for iPhone

12oz bottle at Leona’s in Chicago. Pours a clear, dark amber color with a thin white head. Aroma is light, malty, fruity. Medium on the palate with light carbonation. Flavor is sweet, malty, bready, nutty, light pine hops, with a sweet, nutty finish. Nice.

Sample at The Daily Growler on 2/9/13. Clear amber to copper pour with a medium beige head. Malty nose with a bit of fruit. Malty and caramelly flavor with light fruit before a bready finish.

Strong flavor, but weak on beer points. Only thing going on for me is a caramel flavor. ---Rated via Beer Buddy for iPhone

This is good for the type of beer. Never had it before. Good flavor. Not heavy. And light in taste. Good lace on the glass. Overall a good beer. ---Rated via Beer Buddy for iPhone

A nice French style country ale from a suburban Chicago brewery. A nice amber color with a somewhat bubble gum finish.

Draft at Tampa Palms World of Beer. Pours a clear amber color with a small off white head. Good webbed lacing along the glass. Aroma has some musty yeast notes along with caramel sweetness and bready male notes. Flavor is fairly sweet up front followed by a bit of hops in the finish.

UPDATED: MAR 12, 2013 Poured draught at Rattle N Hum in NYC. I thought the taste was a little thin. Call me crazy but there were some cherry bubblegum notes here in the taste. Definitely has a hoppy finish. I didn’t think it was that well balanced, and it wasn’t a memorable beer for me.
