Bottled. Cloudy golden, average head. Buttery, lightly cellary nose. Dryish and soft with notes of butter and newly mown grass. An uncomplicated laid back beer, fairly light in body and with average bitterness. Typical French ale - I like it!

Pours a very light golden straw color with a n impressive large, fluffy, white head. Aroma is light of wheat, spice, and fruit. Flavor is pleasent, but not strong enough. Earthy, spice, and citrus. Mouth is a bit thin and pretty cabonated. A good beer, but i could use more flavor.

Pours a nice orange/copper with a flufy white head. Aroma is sweet and spicey. Wheat, citrus, and refreshing fruit. Mouth is nice and creamy, but with the right amount of carbonation. Flavor is citrus, apple peel, yeast, and earthy. Finish is very dry. A very enjoyable brew.

Bottled. A hazy orange beer with a huge light orange head. The aroma is sweet with strong notes of both wheat and spices. The flavor is sweet malty with strong spicy notes - especially coriander stands out.

Muddy brown, creamy tan head. Lightly roasted, chocolaty, fruity and vegetably nose. Ashy flavor: tobacco, cold coffee. Dry aftertaste. A little bit like Portuguese "pretas" - just with fullier body. Not very ordinary French.

Large bottle picked up from small village 8-10 miles along the coast from Calais. Nice deep golden colour with large ice cream head, nice slightly tart bite to it but very good intensity of flavour. A very decent beer brought a couple back with me.

75cl bottle from Franglais, Calais. Golden, well carbonated in the glass with fluffy off white head. Citrus/yeast lemon and green hop aroma. Much like many bieres des gardes. Good blond, I like these type of beers, it is reminiscent of 3 Monts. On the label it is described at biere de fermentation haute and has a lees also. Smooth in mouth with good finish. The depth and finish are quite impressive.
