Modest head, decent brown colour. Has a bready, plasticky aroma where alcohol and hops collide at just the wrong angle. Taste is heavy syrup with malt notes, sweetness. Not bad, rather uninteresting.

Found at the bon-marché in Paris, they have a number from this brewer all scattered on the bottom shelf of their beer section.... but not the top. Pours with lots and lots of head yet again, a trademark of these guys it seems, and a boring yellow colour. Aroma of water, lemon, vague grain notes. Taste is an inoffensive mix of hops, mostly, some malts and alcohol in there too. Drinkable but disappointing.

bottle from Super U Gambsheim France. Hazy golden colour, large and persistent white head. Fruity nose. Sweet but not sticky malty base with lots of citrus fruits and citrus hops. A very nice beer from a reliable brewery.

Foggy yellow with some head if poured aggressively. Aroma of slightly artificial hops on the nose and nothing else. Taste is a murky mess of corn, hops, hay. Really watery finish. I don’t know who Uncle Hansi was or is, or how he buddied up with this French brewery, but after all these beers from La Saint- Pierre I have no interest in meeting him.

Way too much head, even when chilled, pinkish-brown colour. Aroma of cherries mixed with laundry detergent. Taste is a watery mix of vague cherry notes, malty smoothness, and alcohol. There’s really not much to go on here.

How many different beers are these guys brewing? Remember the old days when a brewery just needed a blonde, and amber, and a stout? Anyways this one comes with a frilly pink label with some illustrative landscape on it. Pours with almost no head and a murky brown colour. Aroma is watery with barley and a hint of alcohol. Taste is a spicy barley and malt mix with an alcohol spiciness, and the palate is too watery. Doesn’t really work on any level.
