bottle, thanks to jaghana! Hazy golden yellow, small head. Strange vegetable aroma. Malty base with vegetable flavours and some strange flavour I can’t identify. Smooth palate.

Brown 25cl bottle obtained in Calais on the way home from a Belgian and French beer buying expedition. Best before 18 March 2011, drank and reviewed on 2 Nov 2010. Poured carefully into my ’La Chouffe’ stemmed tulip. I somehow allowed a little amount of sediment into the glass, clouded the body though. The body was a dark amber and misty in appearance, very thin covering of bubbles and collar round the glass. The smell was of apples and oranges at first, spiced with mace and a honey like semi-sweet hint, strangely also giving it a sour feel too. The taste was also fruity with sour and semi-sweet notes, again honey came to mind. An interesting beer and one I’d gladly have again, the 7%ABV is noticeable but doesn’t intrude into the flavours greatly. Easy to drink and certainly worth trying if you ever get the chance.

2nd Nov 2010: Brown 33cl bottle, poured into a ’Hoegaarden Grand Cru’ stemmed tulip. This beer was formally 5%ABV, mine was 6%ABV. A slight haze in the body gives it a dark golden hue, on top a white bubbley head. Citrus fruits dominate the nose, really sour aroma, more than a hoppy citrus smell, this is lemon, lime and grapefruit all blended together. The taste is also citrusy, leaning towards a vinegarous feel. It was at this point I noticed it’s best before date was 27 Aug 2010, which means it was reviewed over two months after that. Hope the beer wasn’t on the turn as I wrote the review. Also ’miffed’ I paid full price for it (yesterday). Different and an OK beer, France has some good stuff, I’ll carry on trying to find the best ones and review them on here!
