33cl bottle (5.9%): BBE May 2022. Bought on 20th June 2022 from Epicery & Co, Toulon. Drank on 21st June 2202 while alongside in Barcelona, waiting for the ship to leave and the ladies to get ready for our evening meal. Slight haze to the amber body, decent, lasting off-white head. Malty/toffee nose and initial taste, the hops arriving mid-sip. Nice balance with the malts just about winning in both the aroma and flavour stakes.

As advertised, there is a good balance between the beer sensations and the Pastis favoring. Yet, it still tastes way too much like pastis for me.
