Bière 75 cl bue à la maison pendant le confinement. Jolie robe dorée, bière bien fraîche et houblonnée, à la frontière avec l'Ipa. Très réussie.

Bottle from Carrefour Calais and drunk at home. Hazy gold colour lasting white head. Decent pale ale. More like an IPA to be honest. at 7%. I've had worse IPAs. OK pale malts, good hops good bitterness good light citrus and grapefruit flavour. Light and very drinkable. Deceptive. I liked. it.

330ml bottle from Auchan Grande Synthe. Pours amber, medium off-white topping. Toffee, sweet malt on the nose. Taste is old skool marmalade IPA territory with fruity, lightly herbal, pine shades. Flavoursome, for sure, but a little too sweet.

Bottle, shared at THT Nov. '17. Light hazy golden color. White-ish head with reasonable retention. Aroma's: malty, grainish/sweetish, fruity. Flavor is a bit grainish, light moderate sweet, a bit bitterdry. Medium bodied. Finishes with a decent bitterness, albeit short. Not great, but what a delight after all the cardboard ticks...
