The first innovation imagined in collaboration with Heineken. Called Champ Libre, this unfiltered blond beer – like all the recipes produced by Gallia – has a 5.8° content. Its brewer, Rémy Morin, wanted to add a taste twist by adding rye to the malted barley for spicy and rustic notes.

250ml draught at Garden Hotel, Rennes. Fairly bland run of the mill euro beer.

50cl Blik van een Super U. Had volledig gemist dat dit Champ Libre heet, er staat vooral prominent Blonde Non Filtrée op het etiket. Mistiggouden kleur, witte kraag. Licht granig, hint van zwavel, beetje zompig, hint van bloemige citrus, licht moutig, bittere finish. Lichte body. Niet erg goed gelukte poging tot een ongefilterde lager (ze noemen het Blonde maar ze noemen hier elk goudgeel bier Blonde). En mocht dit wel een bovengister zijn, dan is het alsnog een matig bier.

First beer since arriving in Paris an hour ago. Drunk in our tiny apartment in Sacre Coeur. Lightly hazy blonde, moderate head. Mildly grainy hoppy citrus nose. Good bite for a blonde, hints of stone fruit, nice one.

first time that I drink a rye beer in France, not so fruity, comparing with the German school. This one is grainy, rye, malt, unbalanced, a bit rough, watery at the final, classical bitterness, some yeast, metalic, so-so 03.05.24, at my hotel room Paris after a nice and stormy walk.

Bière bue à la maison. Robe dorée, légèrement voilée, mousse moyennement épaisse avec une tenue correcte et un léger lacing. Nez centré sur des notes céréalières, avec un petit côté brut. En bouche, on reste sur le même registre : céréales, touche de sucre résiduel, finale assez simple. Corps moyen, belle effervescence. Une blonde non filtrée honnête, sans surprise, facile à boire mais assez classique dans l’ensemble.
