Draught @ Le Boka, accompanying a Basque sausage flatbread and fries in St Jean de Luz. Pours a deep hazed, slightly dirty looking golden amber, loose white bubbles atop. Lacking carb.. but nice enough amber strong aje, gently sweet toffee.

330ml bottle from Lidl, Hazebrouck. Pours gold with a fine mist, loose white head. Sweet malt aroma. Seems to fall in line with a sweet, aged Lidl-esque lager feel, rather than a blonde. Not really in the mood for a 6 year aged and slightly oxidised lager, which is what this tastes like. Shame.
