Amber beer almost like a ’spéciale belge’ with thick, sticky, yellowish white head and brownish amber colour, slightly hazy. Fruit sweetness in the nose as well as sharp nutty malts, apple, melon, caramel, ginger, mango, yeast, cookie dough, nutmeg and some beginning oxidation. Fruity taste with strong and mineral-like carbonation, very caramelly and strongly nutty malts, orange touch, light herbal, peppery accents and leafy, medium long hop bitterness in the finish which is also dried out by the strong carbo. A bit too strong, actually.

Belgian-style witbier brewed in the Savoie. Coarse, stable, off-white head, cloudy ochre blonde colour with quiet sparkling. Strong sweet fruitiness, agreeably perfumed, smelling of fried apples, apricot, strawberry, yoghurt, cinnamon, coriander, rosewater and orange peel. Round palate, mineral-like with relatively strong carbonation, very fruity, apple, orange, mildly spicy, bit powdery mouthfeel as if starch has been added to make it cloudy (which is probably the case too) but then a slight disappointment in the finish, which is rather watery with only a very faint and brief, late hop touch. Nevertheless a refreshing example of the style.

Blond French beer with a thick, off-white, irregular head and a misty ’old gold’ colour. Nose gets grass, orange peel, bread, apples, vanilla, peach, strawberry, yeast. Taste begins freshly fruity, somewhat sweetish, citrus, pineapple, relatively sharp carbonation, mellow and bready maltiness in the middle, bit powdery mouthfeel (yeast), finish a mildly grassy hop bitterness. Decent beer in view of the region it comes from, but more a Belgian blonde than a real bière de garde to me.

Bottled 330ml. -3pack from Geant Albertville. Golden coloured, medium sized white head, odd and not so pleasant nose (something close to rotten beet). All three of a kind were the same. Sweet malty, caramel, discreet hops and some spices with notes of caramel in sweetish finish. So-so.
