Pression@Versailles, France. Brown beer with a reasonable head. The aroma is mildly malty and roasted, and the flavour is malty and gently bitter with some roastedness. Overall a nice French amber style of beer.

Bottle from Terre de Boissons Calais and drunk at home. Clear ruby colour lasting beige pink head. Malty amber brown malty aroma. Malty deep fruits, hedgerow fruits. Plums, strawberry jam. Decent enough if not overly exciting. Some peppery hop on the finish.

(Thx!) Sampled draft @ Delirium Hoppy Loft. Amber, little tanned head. Nose is heavy and very interesting, massive liquorice, Christmas spice, bay leaf, leaves, liquorice malt, heavy,… Taste feels bit empty after the nose, very sweet malt, syrup, herbal, liquorice but also bit weak, soapy leaves. Soapy malt, dry leaves finish body. Far better than the score on here suggest, more interesting at least.

Bottle shared. Hazy amber with off white head. Some cardboard, berry jam, light mineral and metallic, a bit of roast and old dusty grass. Under medium sweet and bitter. Medium bodied with dry metallic finish. Don’t like this.

330ml bottle from somewhere -other- than Cave à Bulles in Paris - this is good news, perhaps the French microbrews are gaining a wider distribution? Pours with an attractive amber colour, but not much head. Aroma of wet roasted barley. Taste is smooth roasted barley, spicey, with a weak finish. Sadly like so many French microbrews they don’t have all of the elements working in harmony just yet.
