Beer with an airy head, good body. Ochre colour with a golden hue. Frank, greedy nose, on candied fruits, apricot, peach, opens on notes of exotic fruits, mango. Supple and fruity attack. Frank lengthening, beautiful bitterness, point of sweetness. Lager with character.

Cette Lager des Etoiles est réellement une bonne surprise. Et je dois avouer que ne je m'attendais pas à cela pour ce que le brasseur appelle un India Pale Lager qui est à mon sens une bonne IPA. Le visuel est sur un blond orangé voilé avec une fine effervescence soutenue et une mousse blanche de 5 mm. Le nez est sur une alliance de pamplemousse, kumquat, orange, herbes et mangue. A la dégustation, l'amertume est très bien mise en avant, tranchante, intense, aromatique et d'une bonne complexité. L'houblonnage à cru est juste légèrement trop poussé avec un effet "piquant" que je ne trouve pas très agréable. L'alcool, à 6,5 % est pour sa part impeccable. Et mention pour l'équilibre malt/houblon car si l'amertume est saillante, la base maltée est relativement dense conférant une bonne corpulence. Bonne longueur également pour une bière qui mérite d'être connue.

330ml bottle, opened at Les Collines Iduki, Pays Basque. Pours opaque orange, loose bubbly white head. Nicely bitter pithy grapefruit.. fresh and fruity, not quite as light bodied as you expect from an IPL, quite full and hoppy. Decent overall.

very hazy grey-ish yellow to orange colour, medium sized dense off-white head; aroma of grassy, honeycomb toffee, some pine resiny, floral, fruity and some grainy notes; hoppy bittery taste with the same notes as can be felt in the aroma; excellent IPL: it perfectly pretends to be an old-fashioned classical IPA! I like it very much!

Good, thick stable off-white head over clear pale copper beer. Pale & toasted malts dominating the nose. Hint of nettles, no hoppy aromas. Very outspoken toasted flavours, cristal and other alemalts. Non-sweet caramel, and a metallic bitterish finish, bananapeel, almost walnut. Certain slickness, light body, medium carbonation. Decent, no more to say. Txs to Stef!

Bottle, thanks Motelpogo! Hazy golden body, lasting white head. Grainy, light aroma, hay, if there were any hops, they have dissipated in transport at some point some weeks ago. The taste is fairly lean, grainy, lighty flowery and bitterish, I mean, okay, and I can see it being okay fresh, but in Czechia it'd be a tough sell.

Bottle shared. Slight hazy amber with light beige head. Lots of passion fruit, papaya, grapefruit. Lots of fruity hops! Some caramel malts, fresh breadcrust, light touch of roast. Under medium sweet and bitter with a touch of tartness. Medium bodied with crisp slick feel. Quite nice!
