Bottle from Carrefour in Menton. A supremely fresh beer which verges on not being a beer anymore really, almost an alcoholic lemonade. Really strong lemon and orange support which makes this beer truly Menton.

330ml bottle, batch 100, kindly shared by Finn. Pours a clear golden body under a pearl white head, some of it remaining. Perfumed soapy aroma. Mid-sweet, perfumed hoppy taste added by ginger. Lemony hints to the ending. Medium to thin bodied. Unvaried, but possible to drink (at Finns, Tromsø 27.05.2014).

Flaske 0,33l fra Brune Rousse Houblon, Nice. Batch 100. Delt med Rune under rateseanse på Nerstranda 27 Mai 14. Veldig lys gylden. Lavt luftig skum. Aromaen var overraskende. Parfymert spearmint. Smaken frisk. Litt ingefær. Toner ut med litt mer ingefær. Uklar siste kvelling. Ikke så verst.

Bottle at the Saveurs d’Eléonore in Menton (it wasn’t exactly a bar, Natko :p ). Poured a quite hazy yellow body with a thick white head. Very light pleasant bready/lemony nose. Spicy dry taste, some coriander? Light agrumey notes. Ok, drinkable beer and definitely a great find.

09/10 A 0.33 l bottle in a bar in Menton. It poured murky yellow body with medium sized head. Spicy peppery and raisin aroma, yeasty, pleasant but quite weak. Flavor was subtly nice Bittersweet with honey and banana, some oranges (I didn’t feel lemon) and spiciness. But watery, like Belgian Wits, not regular blond Ales. That thin body can only offer you short and unfortunately slightly papery finish. Just OK one, misses body and some rounding.

Brougth this from Nice, as a part of a 3 pack. Expired about 6 months ago. Whie the other two brews from this company were not affected much by the expiration date, this one seems to have gone to heaven. First of all, this beer poured with no head, lots of carbonation. The color is similar to a bud, can see right through the beer. Then I have no idea how this is a spice beer, no presence of any spice, or herb, or veg. It smelled like rotten apples, and tasted like nothing. Could not finish even half the bottle.
