Bottle shared at Chriso’s mid-week lasting 03/07/14. Clouded pale yeloow coloured pour and a fleeting white head. Aroma is stale malts, wheat and fruity banana. Flavour is stale fermenting banana, sickly sweet, under fermented, worty. Palate is spritzy carbonation, chalky, sweet. Did not enjoy this.

Medium bodied with fine to average carbonation. Sticky sweet finish with doughy bread, more tangy cotrus, lemon. Novel. Not altogether bad.

75cl bottle sample @ Arden BrewFest. Dorée, col blanc épais. Arôme est houblonné assez neutre. Le malté est ici agréable et change de bcp de bières du style. De fines notes fumées viennent agrémenter un houblonnage qui reste discret. Palais est malté moyen laissant un palais légèrement fumé voire torréfié. Le houblon reste en retrait et contribue à un palais qui est léger citronné et fruité. Reste dans un profil noble, des houblons cultivés dans le nord. Rondeur en fin de bouche avec une amertume modérée. Ok, mais restant dans le style typique des bières de garde françaises.

Slightly hazy orange yellow colour, white head. Aroma is slightly fruity, bit sour, some spicy tripel yeast. Slightly off. Flavour is light, some yeast, light sweetness, some malts. Not great.
