Green 330ml bottle with a best before date of 30 June 09, drank April 09. Poured into a stemmed ’Hoegaarden Grand Cru’ glass. Very pale golden yellow with next too no head even though I poured it vigorously. What bit of foam did arrive didn’t stay one iota of a second. A freshly opened tin of Cornbeef was the smell I got, then a weak yeast aroma, strange combination I thought? Almost tasteless, a really thin yeasty flavour hides behind a dry cardboard nasty tinny hint. I had to open some cheese to help me finish the beer, a lesser man would have thrown it away, but I’m made of stronger stuff and refuse to waste beer, no matter how poor it is. Expensive crap! When you look at the ABV of other beers within this style you can see this is a rip-off watered down version playing on the name. I have found some really good French beers over the years, this however isn’t one of them. I should have known when I saw who imported it. Coors!

A pale blonde golden lager with a thin white head. In aroma, a nice champagne like attack, very fruity, white wine notes, light acidity, very nice. In mouth, a nice crisp malt with light fruity esters, mineral notes, surprising. Tasted Dec. 25 2011. Bottle from Steve Gamble, 2 years old...maybe the champagne yeasts continued chomping on....

Dark green 330ml bottle that we bought at Waitrose, Bloomsbury last autumn. Straw-coloured body with a slight haze. Shiny white foam. Perfumed aroma of wheaty malts. Notes of semi-dry, lemony hops in flavour along with sweet malts. Dry, oily palate. An ok lager, a bit above par for the style (tasting session with Finn, Tromsø 02.03.2011).

330ml bottle. Pours light golden with a large head. Aroma is light corn and Champagne notes. Taste is very faint to start, some light corny malt. Some white grape in the finish. Smooth. Good lager.
