(Bottle, 0.75 l, at One Pint Pub, 20120804) The beer poured pale golden and nearly clear. Its head was medium sized and white. Aroma had resin, grain and fruitiness. Palate was medium bodied with medium carbonation. Flavours were grain, honey, fruitiness, resin, malts and bitterness. Aftertaste was grainy, hoppy and bitter. A very nice beer with low ABV.

Golden and light hazy colour with a thick nice foam. Mild fine hoppy and spice aroma. Lovely texture. Together with a well blended hoppy and mild fruity flavour. Refreshing mild biterness. Toghether with Nøgne Ø Pils. This must be the best premium lager/pilsner I have ever had! Outstanding.

Draft @ ZBF 2012 // very light golden / dishwashing liquid looking beer with a stable fluffed-up white head// very sharp, touch medicinal smell, spices, lemongrass, coriander, grass hops // taste is very light but not quite watery pale lager, grass, small hints of metal, medicinal, spices, herbs, lasting grass bitterness in the finish // clean, light, crisp, meh, still a pale lager, way too light & clean in most ways

Draft @ 9th Rencontre des Brasseries du Luxembourg Belge. Very limited release. About 200 bottles made according to Raphael (brewer) and a few kegs. Sainte-Helene experimental brews as was their ltd barleywine release. Couleur dorée opaque, mousse soyeuse blanche. Superbe découverte aussi, avec 3.5% une pils facile à boire, légère et complexe. Mais une qui allie aussi un style typique avec un houblon noble américain, et qui me réconcilie avec le style et offre ici un produit de qualité dont les gros revendeurs devraient prendre un peu de la graine. Donc une pils de base avec des notes de malt pils/pale mais avec en retrait une touche de malt grillé allant sur une note de café amer. Le houblon Simcoe ajoute à cette pils une belle dimension citronnée ainsi q’une amertume qui se marie bien avec le style, qui est souvent vu dans les IPA américaines. Néanmoins, ce dernier est parfait pour ce que Sainte-Hélène a voulu faire. Je vois ici une bière hybride qui marie les styles en offrant, certes une pils de très bonne facture, mais aussi une touche IPA de par son houblon. A 3.5% ça se boit facilement, et c’est d’ailleurs ce que j’avais fait durant ce festival.
