Cask at Le Fin Mousse, Paris. Poured a clear dark amber with a frothy white head and broken lace. The aroma is very floral leading to some more flowers in the flavour which was initially quite a shock but grew on me after a while. Quite unusual and worth a taste. The style is of an old French floral lager, but taken to the next level. Very drinkable... eventually.

Sample at a tasting at Systembolaget in October 2012. Slightly hazy golden. This beer was a pleasant suprise. On the sweet side with hops, citrus and some apples. Also hay and some peach. Fresh and nicely balanced with a dry finish.
