A refreshing ale with a strong character; its fruity taste comes from barley grown in the Nord department of France and its highly aromatic yeast, its bitterness from a specific variety of hops.

750ml bottle. Clear golden colour with average, collapsing, macropore to frothy, minimally lacing, white head. Grainy and minimally sourish, strawy aroma with resemblance to a Kristallweizen, hints of medicinal alcohol. Taste has initially tart and bitter notes, later additionally a yeasty touch, hints of oak in the finish. Quite a range of flavours, though not matching my preferences.

Tap. Pours clear yellow gold with a small white head that dissipates with some lacing. Aroma is yeasty, with notes of fruit, lemon and banana. Flavor is mildly sweet yeast, wheat and lemon, with a medium bitter and warming alcohol finish.

Cork and clipped 0.75 litre brown bottle, best before 29th Oct 2010, drank early Jan 2010. Very pale blonde/lager colour with a snow white close small bubbled head. Good lacing was left as the beer sank down the glass. The aroma was a mix of dirty dish cloths, hops, yeast, leather satchels and stale lager. The beer was refreshing and palate cleansing, mildly hoppy at first and then turning a little bitter. It appeared to be like a round bodied lager based beer, which isn’t what it should. Having said that I quite enjoyed the beer!

Total Wine & More, Chantilly 750ml ($9): Pours a really pale golden with a big fluffed head. Aroma has got some yeast, but, as others have noted, there is a weird resemblance shared with a pilsner. This is not to say that it is a bad resemblance, but somehow, they managed to get a highly alcohol ale to taste like a lager. A good amount of mellow hops. Some grassiness. A little bit sweet. Alcohol is generally well covered. Pretty good, but nothing that great.

750ml "3 Monts Classic Golden Ale". Pours with a clear golden body with a lasting and thick and lasting white head that leaves some good lace. Aromas are of grassy, bready, grainy, honey, biscuit, floral, but pretty clean yeast wise. Light vanilla, pils and a touch earthy. Flavors are bready, floral, light lemon zest, earthy, clean, biscuity. Somewhat minerally. Bland. Lively bubbles, medium dry, clean.
