Draught at Trois 8, 4/24/15
This was indeed listed as a kolsch on the menu, and while I wouldnt run out and call this a kolsch if I drank it blind, I’d much less call it a BdG. Very nice attenuation on the beer with very grassy, somewhat floral hops adding a moderate bitterness. There are some unusual flavors in here, not sure that I would agree they are off or unwanted. It is easy to write off unusual flavors to it being a "Farm Brewery" and while I certainly do not think that gives you free reign to produce strange or unclean beer, I rather liked the strange, yeasty flavors here. Light sourdough, biscuits and lemon are all mixed in with a light carbonation and somewhat watery texture to be expected at this gravity. I will admit that I agree on there being some soapiness here or some other such alkaline compound that is undesirable. Other than that, though, it goes down well and has a true enough malt and hop flavor. Trois 8 strikes me as a place that does a little homework on the breweries they are putting on tap, so I expect this isn’t just some second rate brewery.
Moderate haziness shows more sediment than it should, but it’s not cloudy. Head is small and fairly fleeting while the body is a pale, bronzed-tinged gold.
Nose smells of mineral water, floral and lightly citrusy hops. Bit of honey.

Le Trois 8, Paris, Pours golden with a white head. Aroma is like a light pils. Taste is slightly hopped and a bit of green apple. Very easy drinking. This was described as a kolsch, rather than a biere de garde on the menu, so I don’t know what is up.

Bottle from La Caves a Bulles. Nice head with good duration. Color is golden. Aroma and taste are yeast, fruits, malt and hops.

Bottled (as Fermière Normandie Blonde, 5.0%). Lightly hazy golden, small head. Floral hay aroma. Dryish and freshly hoppy with light-medium body. Lots of fresh hay-like hops, mid bitter finish. Pleasant and nicely drinkable.

I usually quite enjoy subtle, subdued beers in this style, but this is subtle to the point of being boring - aroma of white wine, oxidation, cork - lemony tang and a fair amount of oxidation in the flavor as well - some banana, honey, a touch of floral character - a light doughiness - meh.

Bottle 330ml.Unclear light to medium yellow color with a average, frothy, good lacing, mostly diminishing, white head. Aroma is moderate malty, toasted, nausea flower odor, flowers, moderate yeasy, leather. Flavor is moderate sweet and light to moderate bitter with a average duration. Body is light to medium, texture is oily to watery, carbonation is soft. [20100111]

Tasting at Papsø’s
Cloudy blond color. Citrusy and yeast aroma, quite pleasant actually, pungent. Dry mouthfeel, yeasty dry malt flavor, correct bitterness. There is a trace of vegetables in the end. It’s a wrong beer, but it ended up being quite pleasant.
