What a way to celebrate one year on ratebeer! I haven’t expected any beer today, but I had opportunity to get my hands on 0.5 l can of this. I thought it’s German, but realized it’s French supermarket beer, wow, so cute! It poured pale yellow with medium head. Some industrial hoppy aroma, along with some corn, but very weak. Flavor is awful! Sweet corn mixed with rotten cooked cabbage and some sourish oxidized lemon spices. Couldn’t believe somebody actually drinks it. Definitely among 5 worst beers I’ve tried, I laughed after initial shock! A definite must-to-try if in France!

75 cL bottle. Pours clear and golden yellow with a lacing white head. More dense phenol aroma compared to the doux. Dry and wooden apple flavour with a solid phenol note on top. Leaves the tongue and mouth quite dry in the finish. Nice one.

Own-brand bottle bought in a branch of Champion in La Tremblade, France. Golden coloured with a short-lived white head. Aroma of sweet malt, honey and herbs. Flavour had some fruit and grassy hops, before a decent bitter finish. Ok.
