Bottle sample @ 2nd RBBSG, August 11th 2012. Courtesy of Travlr. Brun clair, col beige léger. Arôme malté grillé, note caramel, le tout est très subtile et agréable. Palais est léger, grillé, caramel avec un beau pétillant, possible note de malt pâle, et une brève note de fin en amertume houblonnée. Au final, le côté grillé prend le dessus et s’immisce en fin de bouche, tasty!
