On tap at Le Pied De Cochon restaurant. Pale yellow fizzy pour, no head. Aroma of cereals, very very light hops. Good mouthfeel, low carb, cereal finish, with a light bitterness. This really falls in the "just beer" category. Nothing fancy, nothing memorable. You visit this place for the freaking food!

At Au Pied De Cochon. Blond color, foamy head and a grainy fruity aroma. The taste is tangy lemon and crackery wheat/malts. It seems a little acidic but isn’t that bad. Definitely a pretty boring beer that doesn’t live up to the intense flavors you expect at Au Pied du Cochon but firmly in line with McAuslan’s middle of the road brews.

On tap at the brewery terrace as part of a 12$ tasting set.Griffon blonde is a crystal clears old with an rough earthy light grainy aroma.smooth satisfying body the taste is a bit coarse, sweet caramel a bit buttery - possibly diacetyl. Grainy sweet mild caramel is how I would sum it up. Average to sub-par.
