33cl bottle ("Mont Salève Bitter", 4,1%) (BB 14/1-18). Pours hazy golden with a white head. Fruity and hoppy aroma with herbal notes, light citrus and hints of herbs and malt. Moderate sweet and turns out fairly malty in the end too. Body is on the lighter side. Medium flavour intensity and a light, but rather pleasant bitterness. Feels slightly messy, but quite drinkable.

Sampled 330 ml. bottle @ “Vini Birre Ribelli 2015”. Pale citrus golden, bubbles. Nose is citrus lemon hops, zest, quite juicy. Taste is floral, lemon, juicy hops, dash too yeast, less expressive than my deScription sounds, felt a bit muted. Body is juicy hops & yeast, decent but I feel like it could have more expressive.

33cl Bottle from erickok, cheers Eric! Hazy golden yellow colour, bright white head. Aroma of dry pale malts, straw, hint of lemon cake, hint of buttery malts. Flavour is quite dry, pale malts, light tart, earthy hops, liquorice root, lemon, dry bitter malty and hoppy finish. Light-bodied. Nice, reminded me a bit of De la Senne beers. Certainly not an ESB imo.

33cl bottle shared with Dutchdrebus. Very hazy yellow color with yeast particles in it, medium sized white head. Smell is very nice: lightly malts, lots of fruity hops. Taste lightly malts, hops, bitter, very fruity. Full carbonation, medium body. Very nicely done with this low ABV.

Bottle @ home thx to Benzai. Hazy very, very pale yellow with particles, big chunky white head. Smells very hoppy, bitter, fresh, grapefruit.. Very nice. Tastes quite bitter, fresh, hoppy and all nice... But the carbo wrecks it a bit. It’s still okay, but less carbo would help this beer so much. Quite thin, but the bitterness and taste masks this.

Cloudy light blond color with generous frothy head. The aroma is a bit lemony, must be the hops. Dry mouthfeel, yeasty flavor, some yeast spices; strong bitterness.
A bit rough, but interesting.

Bottled. An unclear dark golden beer with a lazing white head. The aroma has notes of yeast, malt, and straw. The flavor is sweet with notes of malt, lemons and straw, leading to a bitter finish. The body is light. Thanks yespr for sharing.

Bottle 33 cl. Courtesy of yespr. Pours a cloudy opaque golden with a dense and lacing white head. Rather discreet aroma, a little flowery hops. Light body, lively carbonation, a very dry fruitiness and some fresh aromatic hops leading to a dry finish. Lovely and very drinkable. 160912
