Bouteille from Terres de Bières Paris. Hazy golden, large white head, fruity nose. Medium-bodied, solid malty base with good aromatisch hops, quite fruity.

Bottle. Bright clear yellow color, small white head, fair retention. Aroma has a bit of acetone that clears, then sweet lemons and straw. Taste is slightly sour lemons and hay, maybe light spice. Decent and interesting tripel.

Okay appearance but not too exciting. Flavour is mostly hops and a bit of coriander but a little watery. I’d really expect more from a Christmas beer, this one was too weak in most regards.

Modest head, foggy orange-bright brown body. Those French sure love to leave the floaters in their beer. Aroma is heavy on malt and dirty armpits, sugar. Taste is meaty and heavy, like a Christmas cake, coriander and sweetness, lots of maple syrup. Really great flavour on this triple.

Muddy, murky brown with a decent pillow of bright beige head. Aroma of grass and chocolate, pumpernickel, barley, slight maltiness. Taste is smooth and unintrusive; very drinkable, but far too simple.

Yes, in spite of France being somewhat anti-beer these microbreweries have popped up in the past 10 years, even in Île-de-France. This is a good thing; and once in awhile I come across another local brew that I have to try to see if they’re starting to compete with the proper European beer powerhouses of Belgium, Germany, and the UK. Pours foggy yellow with plenty of head, not quite solid, but good. Looking quite appealing. Aroma is caramel and syrup, very heavy on the nose, very sweet, slight grassiness. Taste is barley and malts, very un-blonde-like, but refreshing and slightly tart on the finish. This one grows on you, closer to a dark beer, but still quite nice and satisfying.
