Description
Don't tell him beer is a guy's drink. Marjorie Jacobi is a girl, she loves jewelry, the color purple and beer! In 2009 she opened her own micro-brewery business and joined the very closed circle of female brewers. There are less than fifteen in France and Marjorie is surely the most rock'n roll of all.

In the village of Blainville-sur -Eau, Marjorie's house can be seen from afar. Purple shutters, flashy flowers and a garden gnome perched on the window. She even renamed the street after her microbrewery: Paradise. Marjorie launched her brewing in her kitchen. The computer scientist slashes everything and becomes a full-time "brewer".

A few meters from the vats, Marjorie has opened a small bar where you can taste her beers "but not every day, because hey ... Besides, there is not much stock." Proud of its success, the "stirrer-brewer" plans to expand and open a terrace this summer. Health, happiness, prosperity! She has found her paradise.

Bottled. A hazy golden beer with a huge white head. The aroma has notes of malt and caramel. The flavor is sweet with notes of malt, straw, and lemons, leading to a dry finish. Thanks yespr for sharing.

Bottle 33 cl. Courtesy of yespr. Pours golden with a slight haze and a dense and lacing white head with a good retention. A slightly citrusy hop aroma. Medium body, quite fruity with a dry and hoppy finish. Decent but doesn’t stand out in any way. 071112

2012-11-20, draught at La Fine Mousse, Paris, 7-4-7-3-14=35
Light amber color, clean, creamy head. Nice elegant aroma, biscuity caramel and hops. Dry mouthfeel, highly carbonated, with a nice flavor of caramel, biscuity touch, good hopping level but without much aromatic components. Solid choice.

2012-10-03, bottle from La Cave à Bulles, Paris, 7-4-6-3-13=33
Hazy golden color, with compact head. Nice aroma, fruity hops, tropical, apricots, and some dry malt. Lean and very dry mouthfeel; mild malt flavor, with strong bitterness (pungent and to the limit of being excessive), and a bit too much yeast; yeast and harsh hop together disturb a bit the final.
Good but unbalanced.

Hazy pale blond color with small head. Light aroma of malt and hay. Light body, dry mouthfeel; there is a light malt flavor; the bitterness is correct, but these hops don’t provide many quality elements, just a touch of grass and nettles.
Light beer that can satisfy who is searching one for food or lawn-mowing.

Black color with creamy off white head. Mild aroma of roasted malts and some cardboard, very light coffee. Correct body strength, the mouthfeel is rather dry; quite strong flavor of roasted malts, with light chocolate, very light liquorice; good bitterness level; in the final there is a pleasant cheesy trace from the yeast; balanced final.
Good, but missing some better hop presence.

Draft @ Brassigaume 2012. Hazy golden with a creamy white head. Nicely hoppy nose, touch of Belgian yeast and berries. Belgian yeasty taste, light hops, white bread, light pale malts, touch white grape, some resin, oranges and grass. Lightly hazy body. A California Common it seems.

Draft @ Brassigaume 2012. From a plastic keg plugged into the electric output. Lightly hazy golden with a white head. Smell is lovely herbal hops, fruity and white grapes. Taste is that of sweet fruits, USA pine resin hops, white sugar, herbal, some syrup, canned fruit syrup. Lightly oily body – I like it. Didn’t get that this was supposed to be an IPA.
