Bottled 330ml. -Courtesy of and shared with Marko (thanks!)
Murky yellow/golden coloured, big white head, odd yeasty nose with touch of sauerkraut and meat. Malty, yeasty and acidic hoppy with not so pleasant notes of meat. Dry peppery finish. Quite messy brew.

Bottle from the Cave a Bulles, Paris, shared with ogivlado Poured a murky golden body with a huge white head that went away too slowly for comfort. Dry yeasty nose, bit chalky, bit woody. Sharpy perfumey marzipan taste (not in a particularly way, but not too bad), ends meaty and soapy. Completely messy. This looks like a huge hit and miss from the look of things, and mine was a miss.

I’d been eyeing this one for awhile at Cave à Bulles, and now it was time to give it a go as they say across the channel. Pours with a dark black-ruby clear body and a big antique white head. The aroma is your typical spicy barley, coriander and roasted barley I’d reckon, not that there’s anything wrong with that. The taste is a watery barley with a sharp hoppy finish. Watery mouthfeel, again, a common problem in French brews. Kind of in the middle somewhere.

Yellow body with plenty of sediment, a nice big and solid white head. Aroma of moldy grass and wet hops, or like hiding in a cardboard box in the rain. Taste is smooth and bright - lots of caramel and malt mixed together with a dry and spicy finish. Really good taste on this one, I’m impressed.

This is an explosive beer, pours with a massive head even into a wide chalice. If you like head, this is your beer! But I find it to be way too much, and body is murky yellow. Faint aroma of nuts. Taste is an odd harshness of syrup and alcohol with a malt-liquor finish. Oh, and a metallic aftertaste. Totally not working.

Nice yellow-brown mud body with a big but not very dense head. Aroma of cereals and hops surrounded by alcohol notes. Taste is a complex mix of hops with a dry finish, lingering aftertaste. Pretty good.

Bottle from La Cave à Bulles, Paris
Hazy amber color, huge head. Quite common Ale aroma and flavor; there are traces of infection: light sour aroma, flavor of cooked cabbage; something that this non powerful beer can’t hide. Missing sweetness. Quite strong bitterness.

Deep yellow with an orange tint. Small head that quickly dissipated. Aroma of yeast, malt, citrus, orange, spices. A bit sweet. Citrusy, slightly sour flavor. Very refreshing. A touch of sweetness, but not much at all. Not really complex, but pretty nice. Sourish, citrus finish. Not very interesting.
