Bottled. Apparently I drank this with skortila and Bullit, but I did not take notes. But I know I had about the same opinion about the beer as they had :P. Anyways, for a French beer, it’s quite ok.

Corked bottle, from La Cave à Bulles, Paris
As soon as the metallic cage is removed, the cork explodes, luckily only directed to the ceiling, and even after pouring one glass, the foam keeps floating out of the bottle.
In the glass there is a hazy blond colored beer, with a big head, quite thick; also the perlage is persistent. Nice aroma, dry and spicy, with a touch of citrus, like a Saison. The body is medium-thin, even if the carbonation is almost gone in the explosion; it has a lean flavor, with the Saison-like spices, but lacking on body, more flavor and bitterness. Refreshing, good, but could be better.

750mL cork&cage bottle, I am pretty sure this is a few years old, no date. The cork shot out like a cannonball. The beer pours a thick golden color with no clarity at all and a small head. Aroma is full of flowers and rose-like sweetness. Juts a bit of barnyard as well. Taste is less sweet and less floral, more straight Bière de Garde with a white bread maltiness. A slightly above average carbonation and a nice full body make it very smooth and felt on the cheeks. A very nice brew.

Shared by beastiefan2k - man, the cork sure rocketed out of this one (I think I’ve yet to find where is landed last night) cloudy golden, fizzy-bodied beer - floral aroma, with notes of wildflower honey (it smells like a field in springtime - melodramatic, I know, but it’s kind of true) - despite the carbonation, the beer is quite soft - very floral, with lavender being the most prominent - moderately dry, with just a touch of honey sweetness to keep it from being too much so - very subdued and pleasant.

This reminds me of Saison Dupont. Sour aroma. More barnyard weirdness than many saisons, or biere de gardes. Cloudy. Flavor has wheat and spices, some citrus.

LCRBM2. Amber colour with no head. Sticky toffee and some hop on end. Odd saison. Only some hop on the end and a bit of dryness. I would expect it to be lighter and fresher.

Bottled. Clear reddish amber, very small head. Very discrete aromas of fruita nd grass. Dryish with clean malt character. Very careful notes of caramel and gras. Low bitterness. Too neutral to get me interested.

A hazy orange beer with a small white head. The aroma is sweet spicy and yeasty, while the flavor besides the sweet yeatiness also has notes of flowers and hints of caramel. Inspite of its 7% ABV I find the body thin.
