Draught at Peter McCool's: pours orange with white head. Aroma is light yeastiness, bubblegum like fruitiness, berries. Taste is sweet with minimal bitterness. Not great.

In my point of view, it is a honest pale ale, not that bad, sweet, malty, decently bitter and aromatic with the hop, well balanced, 19.08.19, thanks Olivier for this beer, purchased in France and drinking it at Vallorbe.

From Carrefour near Evian. Ripe papaya, citrus, pine. Sweet. Weird mixture of flavours.

Аромат вроде бы и Бельгийский но тем не менее отдает сильной цитрусовой составляющей которая так близка Французкому пиво из маркета, немного трав, хмеля очень мало. Цвет эля обычного, пена весьма хорошая. Вкус неплохой, снова черезмерно цитрусовый как кажется, немного трав и специй. В послевкусие есть горчинка от хмеля, но немного. В целом неплохо для маркета, но не более.

Review based on the BJCP2021 guidelines (style 24B). Bottle 25 cl - Batch 105X15:57 (BB: 03.24) AROMA: medium-low citrus aroma (lemon-like), followed by medium-low phenols (clove-like) and low ripe oranges. medium neural malty-sweet background. APPEARANCE: deep gold color and translucent. medium white head with good retention. lace formation. TASTE: similar to the aroma with initial medium-low citrus, clove and ripe oranges. medium-low neutral-sweet malt background. medium bitterness with a dry finish. MOUTHFEEL: medium-low body with medium carbonation. OVERALL: a belgian pale ale a bit more restrained on the malt flavor and with a distracting lemony note.

Tap at dejavu, Italian version. Dark golden color light haze fine white head, fair persistence, funky smell. Flavor of apple and orange peel, hints of lemon and grass. Taste acidic, sourish taste. Thin malts profile muddy yeast, something close to saison but not refined. Seems off to me, maybe not fresh keg.

Uvijek sam mislio da je ovo neka fina belgijska piva, kad ono francuska piva. I može se reći i da je fina. Tko bi rekao da jedan Carlsberg može poslati neku takvu pivu u naše dućane.
