Can. A dark golden beer with a lazing beige head. The aroma has notes metal, alcohol, and caramel malt. The flavor is very sweet and malty with notes of alcohol and metal, leading to a dry metallic finish. The body is sirupy thick. Thanks yespr for sharing.

1/12 0.5 l can from big Carrefour in Cannes. It poured deep golden to amber body with medium sized head that was going down slowly. Yeasty belgian ale aroma, some nice chewing gum and banana fruitiness. Flavor was a bit worse, but still pleasant biscuit and fruity malty with nice belgian yeast rounding its flavor along with some herbal spices. Medium bodied with low carbonation and longer, sweetish biscuit malt finish. Typical for a Belgian ale, this is really fine supermarket beer.

1/12 From a 0.5 l can found in some Carrefour across the Cote d’Azure. It poured golden body with bigger yellow head. Honey malty and somewhat aroma. Strong, just as its flavor, but now alcohol dominates in it. Besides, it’s bitter in some ugly way, almost like burned rubber. Sugary, fruity in the best was sweetness present as well on the other side. Medium to fuller body with bitterish finish, now notably more pleasant. Didn’t like it as Doggythedog did for sure.

1/12 From 0.5 l can. It poured yellow body with medium to bigger head. Lemony hoppy and somewhat malty aroma. Boring, but still less unimpressive than its flavor. Malty, slightly eggy and unpleasantly sourish. Grainy, a lot of hay here. Watery, but not too much, so it had medium, but crappy sourish finish. Some hints of alcohol which is so weird for such low ABV. Typical cheap pale lager with slightly unpleasant notes.

0.75l bottle found somewhere in France, possibly a Carrefour in Cannes, with heavy, obviously shared with him too. Was damn glad to find an AOC Cornouaille cider, they seem to be quite rare :). It poured a misty yellow-golden body with lively carbonation, small white head that went away fast. Slightly leathery soft appley nose, not bad. The taste is fine and sweetish, nicely fruity. Looking at the glass I expected the carbonation bite that always ruins a cider for me but the mouthfeel was soft and pleasant. Dry and acidic near the end and in the aftertaste, with leathery notes throughout. Complex and drinkable, possibly the best French cider I’ve had so far!

0.5l can purchased possibly at a large Carrefour in Cannes with heavy, with whom I’ve shared it too. Poured a darker golden body with a medium sized white head that stuck for awhile. Sweetish lactic nose, slightly spicy, chalky, with notes of bubblegum. Light chalky fruity taste, bubblegum again possibly, malty. Ending with a light bitter hoppy note. As typical a Belgian golden ale as they get. Not all that bad really.
