bottle from Auchan Illkirch-Graffenstaden. Hazy green colour, small white head. Slightly sweet, ver herbal, slightly bitter. Interesting, not worse than the average German Radler.

Bottle from Migros, Thoiry
Scary green grassy color, this indeed is the color of genepi; small head. Aroma of herbs and bread. Sweetish flavor, some genepi, almost no bitterness. No beer.

Bottled(250ml). -Toxic green coloured, medium to big white head, perfumy genepi nose. Very sweet and almost syrupy; genepi is dominant here. Also sweet finish with hint of lime in the finish. Not so pleasant mix.

Bottle courtesy of and shared with ogivlado (thanks!). Poured an odd shiny green colour that reminded me a little of olive oil for a second. Coloured with e102 (tartazine, yellow dye) and e133 (brilliant blue fcf), both known allergents. Lovely. Medium sized white head. Fizzy. The génépi can be detected in the (light) nose, which is a little radlery. The taste is light as well, soapy génépi is noticable (reminds me a little of thyme). However, it’s too sweet for its own good, sticky even, which doesn’t fit the herbal génépi taste at all. I guess the taste has taken a hit or two in the last couple of years because this is hard to drink and not very likable.
