bottle from Auchan Illkirch-Graffenstaden. Very cloudy straw-golden yellow, small head. Fruity nose. Light-bodied, malty with lots of yeasty flavours, banana and mango. This beer is abit similar to a German Hefeweizen, but fruity in a different way. Lots of tropical fruit, mostly mango, with some shy dusty hints. Refreshing and pleasant.

Gushing! Yellowish head, then disappearing over dark amber beer with orange highlights. End of bottle solid yeast. Dry, root spicy and leafy aromas, dry chocolate powder, sweetish. Infected flavour, lactic touches, bit leafy & some chocolate; unripe fruit and buttermilk. Creamy, yeasty, thick MF; spritzy. There’s something rotten in the state of Überach.

Medium brown with red/orange tints. Very cloudy and creamy looking. Slight head vanished quickly leaving some lace. Not particularly strong aroma of slightly roasted amber malts. A touch sweet and nutty. Taste almost completely lacks the earthy/grassy flavor of the Biere de Garde. Much cleaner tasting. Light roasting, slightly nutty and fruity, but neither over sweet nor over dry. Good, straightforward beer, but it is a little bit boring, maybe. It is a very nice beer, not extremely original, but without flaws, I think.

Medium to dark golden color, cloudy, orange tint. Small head, lots of bubbles. Pretty strong malt aroma. A bit of fruit, slightly sweet. Slight citrus flavor, lots of malt. Rather sweet, but ok balance. I guess it is an ale, though not completely sure. Very fruity. Ok hops but could be better. Slightly sour, slightly sweet finish. Could use more hops and less sweetness.

Medium dark brown, very cloudy with yeast. Small head that quickly faded. Aroma of malt, chocolate, a touch of caramel. A bit fruity, like dried figs or raisins. Also a lot of yeast. Close to a Belgian dubbel, but very well roasted malt. Great burnt flavor. A touch of coffee, chocolate, a bit of caramel. Just a bit sweet, but with hints of sour as well, along with the burnt taste and a bit of hops. Just a touch of earthiness. The finish is roasted malt all the way. A pretty good dubbel type beer. Not quite at the top level, but close.

Bottle in Strassbourg, 2006. Amber, though very cloudy and a tan / orange tint. Very small head that quickly vanished. Very aromatic. Amber malt, nuts, a bit of spice, some barnyard aromas as well, with chocolate and caramel. Very malty, semi-roasted flavor. Earthy, with grass or hay, chocolate, cloves, coriander?. Citrus, maybe orange peel. Not heavily spiced, though. Earthy malt finish with a touch of sour and some hops. Well balanced amber biere de garde flavor. Not much different from their regular amber, so I wonder what they have done to it?

Bottle from La Cave à Bulles, Paris
Hazy copper color. Some malt aroma, tired, takes some time to show up. It has a quite watery mouthfeel, the flavors flow away quickly, there is some medium-sweet caramel and low bitterness. Even a very light sourness that makes me wonder. Another simple French beer.
