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.

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.

Can from Monoprix, Perigueux, after a day out in the city. Golden with a head. Not feeling its strength, it has a softer lightly carbonated hoppiness with some dryness. Appealing without being outstanding.

Malt and grain aroma. Similar taste, with a hint of hops and a quite watery finish, a bit dry.

Bottle: Poured a golden color ale with a medium size foamy head with OK retention and light lacing. Aroma of cereal notes with some light unrefined grainy notes. Taste is also a mix of cereal notes with some unrefined grainy notes with some light residual sugar notes. Body is about average with good carbonation. Average golden ale with OK drinkability.

0.33 l bottle shared with Ogi who brought it from France. Thanks. Unclear golden, small off-white head. Light malty aroma, nice herbal hoppy profile, slightly floral, some honey. Malty, sugary, caramely, sweet. Light body, quite smooth. A bit bland. Minimal bitterness. Light malty dry finish.
