750ml flip top bottle. Mellow, clean, malty beer..classic Bierre de Garde base. Sweet caramel. Not unlike a big Southern Tier dessert beer in the depth of sweet flavor, except this has a really clean, sessionable body. Delicious nutty caramel, butterscotch richness. Unapologetic sugary sweetness. Cool beer.

Bottled 330ml. -from Brune Rousse Houblon, Nice. Yellow/golden coloured, minimal white head, intensive nougat nose. Watery and artificial nougat wafer taste with overall quite strong sugary presence. Ok idea but really no thanks.

Bottle shared by beastiefan2k - thanks? - lightly hazy gold - nose is pretty much nothing but buttery nougat with light floral notes underneath - smells like it’s plagued with diacetyl, even though it is not - flavor is very light and moderately toasty, so much like the aroma, you mostly taste nougat, which of course, just makes it taste like a diacetyl bomb - pretty terrible.

New Beer Distributors, NY 750ml ($7): Pours a red that is just read enough that you know there are berries and shit in there. Head is pink, so yeah. Aroma reminds me of a combination of pale lager and the raspberry syrup I used to put into seltzer as a kid. Taste is fruity and fortunately not too sweet. The fruity side is fine, but the beer side is sort of lacking. I purchased this on a whim, but the price tag should have steered me away.

750 fliptop from Corti Brothers in Sacramento, CA. Pours light golden amber with a slight white head and some floaties. Aroma of sweet malt and marshmallow. Med body. Flavor is almond and walnut, marshmallow and some light malt. Far from bitter, but not sticky sweet. Finishes nutty in a odd way. Might be several types of nuts. Certainly interesting. Definitely drinkable.

Slight haze on this green beer!!! Tidy white head. Light crispy palate, semi dry. Shandy! Tastes a little like a shandy and a pleasant one at that but the herby flavours from the liqueur drag that notion away. Crisp finish. Unusual beer but quite drinkable!
