The Pétrolette, which means the moped in English, evokes a certain nostalgia, recalling the freedom felt once the engine starts. This blonde beer is a tribute to this golden age. Manufacturing: To make this beer, two hops were chosen. The first is called the Magnum. This German variety has a perfect balance between sourness and flavor. It is known for its herbaceous aromas. The second choice is the Saaz. Not very bitter, this hop from the Czech Republic is distinguished by its earthy and floral notes.

0.33l bottle, thx Ogi for sharing with Hrabren and me! Murky orange body, off-whtie head. Stale meaty yeastiness under which some honeyish notes and esters show up. Yeeeah, a pilsner.... suuure... Lean taste, dead meaty yeastiness over a sweetish lean fruity body, creamy peach, no bitterness. Not a pilsner in any world and even if it once was reminiscent of one, or at least a good beer, the yeastiness destroyed whichever semblance of it there once was. --- Beer merged from original tick of Brasseurs unis Pétrolette Blonde Bio on 15 Jan 2024 at 21:21 - Score: Appearance - 4 | Aroma - 4 | Flavor - 4 | Texture - 6 | Overall - 5.

0.33 l bottle thanks to Ogi who brought it from France, thanks! Shared with Marko and him. Unclear amber, small off-white head. Yeasty, phenolic, lightly medicinal aroma, cooked vegetable, some malty biscuity notes. Soft fruity notes here and there. Smooth, light to medium body, sharp yeasty, phenolic, very rough. Minimal bitterness. Messy and completely out of style.

hazy golden to orange colour, medium sized dense white head; aroma of grape peel, grainy, earthy, moderate grapefruity, herbal, and fruity notes; taste of fruity sweetness, malty-bready notes, grape peels and some hoppy bitterness; not bad at all
