Draught Good amberish head, dense, slightly irregular; amber beer, fully hazy, well carbonated. Parsley, caramel, smoked ham (not like in a Rauch, mind you), roasted malts nose. Caramel, toasted, coloured malts, toffee, shortbread, malt syrup, but thankfully not too sweet. Slight burning, very well carbonated if a bit syrupy. Nice, if somewhat classical amber beer - and this time perfectly poured.

Draught Fully hazy with some UFO’s, nearly not head, but a white rim. Very badly poured (unwashed glass, too cold). Citrus, slight (pale) malt, faint yeast esters. Again citrus, lemonbalm, warm malt. Retronasal definitely mint/ "cool-aid". Warming up, more citrus (orange) notes. Very refreshing, but ending quite empty, the serving temperature does not help at all. Nice blonde, but very, very "meek".

Hazy amber color. Light aroma of malt and sugars. Dry mouthfeel, poor malt, some caramel. Another mediocre French beer.

An unclear amber beer with an off-white head. The aroma is sweet malty combined with spices, while the flavor is sweet malty combined with notes of straw.

Bottled (BB 02/2008)
Dark nut brown, small tanned head. Aromatic nose of roasted malts and flowery hops. Medium-bodied, carbonated. Starts hoppy then turns chocolaty. Roasted aftertaste. One of the best French I’ve had.
