The name "Vivala" means "Little Girl" in Alsatian. Vivala is the female counterpart of Manala, both characters representative of Alsace. De consistance légère avec une amertume modérée et des saveurs de fruits tropicaux, elle est désaltérante et souple à boire.

Gold with a frothy, white head. Aroma promises grapefruit, lemon peel, caramel. Taste is bitter throughout. Finishes a bit like a Landbier, grassy and herbal. Body to the light side of medium, aggressive carbonation, which seems to be a prevalent characteristic of beers from the region. Ok

Tap. Pours unclear yellow. Aroma is citric and grassy hops, lime, grapefruit, little butter. Body is light and crisp, with a light backbone to support the hops, still little butter and also some cardboard. Quite bitter. Sweetish palate. Enjoyable, but too sweet for a refreshing beer and not full enough to be good as a sweet beer.

Bottle from Au Brin De Paille, Colmar, Alsace, France, consumed at Camping Trois Château Eguisheim, Alsace, France, Tuesday 21st June 2016 the Summer Solstice. Hazy gold/amber, with a white sticky head. A touch of vanilla, it’s a good solid blonde, it’s not exciting but it’s very drinkable. I like this more than Loz, bit gassy but very pleasant.

Auch wenn das Comic-Mädel auf dem Etikett ein bisschen an eine betrunkene Freundin von Tim aus Tim&Struppi bzw. Tintin&Milou erinnert, so ist dieses Blonde auch sehr schön zu trinken. Es hat eine würzige-hefige Note, die hinten samtig in eine frische Süße übergeht und eine gemüliche Schwere auf der Zunge hinterlässt. Keine Ahnung, ob ich es jemals wieder bekomme, aber trinken werde ich es immer wieder gerne.
