Slightly hazy pale golden colour, good frothy white head, good retention and lacing. Aroma pale malt, tangerine, mango, pine notes. Taste medium sweet and bitter, malty, grapefruit, lemon, star fruit. Bittersweet aftertaste, citrus pith, bit chalky, resin notes. Medium body, oily texture, soft carbonation, very tasty and well-made APA, rather good.

The APA in this surprisingly good series of French Alps craft beers, thanks to Marie for the bottle! Very thick and frothy, egg-white, regularly structured, dense, lacing head on top of a hazy peach blonde beer with warm egg yolk-like yellowish hue. Aroma of orange zest, lemon balm, lime juice, dough, oregano, white grape peel, soap, unripe green banana, star fruit, damp hay, light passion fruit touch. Clean fruity onset with hints of star fruit, green banana and guava with a very light sourish gooseberry accent, fizzy carbo, soft and soapy mouthfeel; cereally, rounded pale malt sweetness in the middle with a very light caramelly edge, chalky accent especially in the finish, which is otherwise ruled by a soft, mellow but expressive and very aromatic hoppiness, grapefruity and a bit kiwi-like with a faint piney note, applying gentle bitterness to an otherwise rounded, juicy malt ending. A tad ’lemony’ and chalky, could have been a bit maltier perhaps, but in any case technically very clean and to the point, elegant and way above average for a French ’artisanal’ beer if you ask me - like their other ones. Too bad I got to try only three of their beers, the next time one of my friends goes to this region for a winter holiday, I must not forget to ask them for a bottle of these guys’ imperial stout or imperial IPA...

Bottled 330ml. -Golden coloured, medium sized white head, very mild flowery nose. Moderate sweet malty, slightly flowery and grainy taste with notes of honey. Bitterish sweet finish. Not bad for newely opened brewery.
