On tap at Golf d'Hardlot. Pours a clear light gold with a white head that dissipates to the edges. Aroma has a good amount of bread and straw with a bit of sweet grains and a hint of flora underlying. Flavor has bread and grains through out with some sweet flora backing.

Checked the label on the back. Brewed in Belgium! That’s why it’s so good! Kinda cheating …

Local beer from Pas-de-Calais in northwestern France, celebrating the two beautiful capes there, Cap Gris-Nez and Cap Blanc-Nez, marking what the English call “the Strait of Dover”. The brewery is run by a Christophe Noyon and located less than three miles east from Cap Gris-Nez. Comes from a 75 cl bottle with crown cap as a gift from my girlfriend. Thick and very moussy, snow white, uneven-bubbled, stable head on an initially clear, deep and pure yellow golden beer with lots of lively, visible sparkling, turning misty gold with sediment. Aroma of fresh white bread, unripe banana, grass, green pear, honey, flour, tulips, raw potato, moist white pepper. Cleanly fruity onset, hints of apple, pineapple and light banana, lively carbonated with smooth and slick mouthfeel; minerally accents subtly but refreshingly accompany a cereally, white-bready, ‘pure’ maltiness carrying the yellow fruit accents to a florally and mildly spicy hop bitterish finish, ending grassy with lingering honeyish sweetness and a whiff of clove-like phenolic spiciness. Remarkably well balanced and correctly executed Belgian style blonde in a somewhat cleaner version than average – which kind of links it to the local bière de garde tradition as well. Forgettable and cliché, perhaps, but doubtlessly well made for what it is.

*rating overgezet* geprobeerd op vakantie in 2016. Het is een helder goudgeel bier met een dun wit schuim. Het heeft een moutige wat bloemige geur. De smaak is moutig, zacht zoet en bloemig.

Bière pression bue au Welsch Pub La table de Nicolas à Boulogne sur mer. Une blonde tout à fait convenable, sur des notes de céréales, avec une pointe d'amertume pas désagréable. A très bien accompagné mon welsch!

Massa’s hop !
