26/VII/25 - on tap @ Le Garde Fou (Strasbourg, FR), BB: n/a (2025-693)
Clear orange blond beer, creamy off-white head, stable, adhesive, leaving a nice lacing in the glass. Aroma: lovely, lots of tropical fruits, juicy, citrus notes, grapefruit, peaches, spicy touch. MF: ok carbon, medium body. Taste: nice, good bitterness, hoppy, grassy, some citrus, a little malty, spicy touch. Aftertaste: more spicy, fruity touch, some peaches, malty, some citrus, hoppy, good bitterness, somewhat peppery in the finish.

Bottle shared at home. Pours opaque golden with quickly dissipating head. Nose is extreme level of oxidization and some pepper notes. Taste is oxidizied citrusy peppery character. Light bodied with intense carbo. Bah.

Mild lemony pepper. Just a clean somewhat bitter golden ale. Nothing off, but nothing exciting. Paname Paris

Many thanks to Erzengel for sharing! A slightly hazy golden beer with a huge most good lasting off-white head. Aroma of lemon fruits, pepper, moderate fruity hops. Taste of moderate hoppy yellow fruits, some herbs, pepper, some lime. Moderate bitterness, interesting!

Bottle from the brewery. Grainy neutral nose. The beer starts highly carbonated with a very dry body. The pepper is there, hints of lemon as well. Interesting astringent. Fruity herbal pepper sourish in the aftertaste, moderate bitterness, floral hops as well. Interesting.

Draught @ Van Moll Brewpub. Clear yellow golden color, average sized white head. Smell and taste malts, a bit floral floral hoppy and lightly bitter. Decent body and carbonation. Ok beer. How on earth is this a "lemony pepper ale"? Maybe they gave me the wrong beer...?

Bottle at home, 1st July 17. Pours clear until I dumped the latter part of the bottle in, large head. Aroma is lemon, citrus, pleasant floral. Taste is light lemon, slight bitter, maybe a hint of pepper, bitter linger. Really nice. My 12 rating from this brewery, putting me way ahead of the French raters, same for me in a few other of the other new craft breweries. Come on guys!
