Blond color, poor head. Sweetish aroma, maybe some cereals; the flavor too. Strong and cloying.

Can, 7.9%. Clear dark golden colour. Stable off-white head. The flavour is OK malty with a little spicy hops. There is a little grainy lageriness in the finish, getting almost sour in the aftertaste.

Can from an Ed store in Paris. Pale gold color with a fine white head. Aroma of grain. Rather thinnish and starts lightly sweet with the merest hint of hop. Not obnoxious. Would probably be ok with a sandwich. Finishes bland.

Can from a cheap shop on Rue Cler. Pours gold with a frothy white head. Really grainy aroma, but it’s a fresh aroma. Medium body with near creamy carbonation. No malt liquor this. It has malt and hop. The heat is a bit much. Otherwise I’m in agreement with Bov. If you like strong Euro lager, and you’re looking for value, give this a try.

Can from a Price/Leader on Rue Cler. Pours gold with a decent white head. Grainy, papery aroma. Thin plus body with loose carbonation. Sweetish papery malt flavor with no significant hop. Water might be better.

Green .25 cL bottle from a Price/Leader on Rue Cler. Pale gold with a little white head. Smells like pale malt and noble hop. Near med. body with frothy carbonation. Dry and decently bitter. It could pass for a pils.

Green .25 cL bottle @ 6.3%. Poured amber gold with a temporary white head. Aroma of caramel malt and floral hop. Medium body with frothy carbonation. It reminds me of the "scotch ales" the French produce. Alcohol is noticeable. Not bad for half a euro.
