Bottle, 75cl. It pours a hazy, golden body under a big, creamy white head soon diminished into half a finger height. Some curtains. There’s some fruity sourish notes in the mostly fruity aroma. Pale malts and a yeasty touch too. Yellow apples, grass, some pine cones, canned pineapple and peaches. There’s a faint sourish touch in the flavor too, seems to be intended, or at least not an infection. There’s a light bitterness too, with grass, resiny notes and all the fruityness known from the aroma. Medium body, quite dry, and with a pleasant carbonation level. Long, mostly fruity finish with a little bitterness balancing it off. Overall, I’m not impressed, but it’s sure better than I expected from a pale French microbrewery beer. 141005

750ml swing-top bottle from Vinmonopolet, bestillingsutvalget. Shared with Elisabeth, Jan Erik, Finn and Stefan. Opens with a good shot and pours a snow white head to a hazy golden body. Wheat fruity aroma, lightly spiced. Sweet and tart fruity flavours. A little tartness to the finish. On an average level (Tromsø 13.11.2013).

Bottle at home. Pours a hazy straw colour and a big, creamy and white head. Pale malt, hay, spices and some lemon. More pale malt and citrus in the flavour along with nice hops and spices in the end. Slick and smooth mouth feel, and has a light bitterness. A fresh, spicy and decent pale lager.

750 ml bottle. Unclear yellow/golden body with a small white head. Light, refreshing aroma of citric fruit and flowers. Flavor is light citric, hint of lemon, some yeast and slightly spicy. Medium to thin body, short aftertaste. A bit anonymous, still refreshing and no faults.
