Bottle, 6.2%. Hazy yellow colour. Small stable white head. OK malty flavour, a little paper, but not bad. Low to medium bitterness, slightly watery. OK mouthfeel, though.

33 cL bottle. Pours clear golden yellow with a small white head. Aroma is sweet caramelish. Mild yeasty fruity flavoured with a light phenolic note and light caramelish note. Ends dry and slight phenolic finish.

0.75l bottle from a Casino store in Eze, shared with heavy. Almost blew out heavy’s eye. Serves him right for laughing at me when I almost made a hole in the bus with the Blonde :p. Poured a murky golden body, medium thick white head that went away fast. Nice fruity sweet agrumey nose, tangy orange. Sweet fruity taste, bit lactic, some bubblegum, notes of tea near the end and not much aftertaste. Ok for a Wit.

Found the two Moulin d’Ascq beers in a Casino in Eze. Drunk on the bus back to Andora. I only needed to loosen the cork’s cage a little for it to almost blow a hole in the ceiling of the bus. A bit of a gusher too. Golden colour. A dusty yet fresh sweet orangey/appley nose. The taste is odd, malty, dry and ashy. Carroty and herbal. Very light orangey notes. Just odd.

11/10 A 0.75l bottle from Casino store, Eze. Only two turns on that wire cage holding the (obviously extreme short) cork made it pop out strongly right into my eye, leaving a bruise over it still while I’m writing this! Luckily only that! Well, it poured murky yellow body with bigger head. Murky and bigger eye, too, lol. Very nice and cloying yeasty aroma, cloves, banana, orange and some spices. Similar, estery flavor as well, dominated by sweet banana yeast and vanilla or light caramel malt. Full bodied, especially for the style! Sweetish, longer finish. One of the better Witbiers I’ve head, simple but very pleasant and tasty.

11/10 0.75 l corked bottle from a Casino in Eze. Opened with a big pop and poured murky pale yellow body with big head of course. Yeasty cinnamon, spicy and slightly lemony aroma. Sweet flavor, yeasty vanilla and banana, some light fruits from its malts and spicy. Relatively thin in body, but for a Biere de Garde is fuller. Longer sweetish finish, yeasty again more than malty. Fine one, I liked it.

Bottled. Cloudy pale amber, airy head.Minerally and fruity, above medium bodied. Malty and doughy with a bit of syrup and notes of canteloupe. Mouthfilling and mellow with low bitterness. Archetypical north French beer.

Bottle that I picked up from Carrefour, Calais. Consumed at Campsite in Guines, France 12-06-09. This had been merrily jiggling about in the camper on the way down to the campsite, chilled for a little while in the fridge and then opened without me even considering that it had been shaken about a little. The cork shot out of this before I had even finished removing the wire cage, it was like a bullet and hit the underside of the awning and ricocheted off, very exciting. The beer actually poured great, it was a little lively but not too bad, pouring hazy orange with a white head, it looked great in fact. There was a lilting lemony nose and there was no denying a rusticyness about this. Some orchard like aroma’s also show. taste is fresh, lemony, touch sweet and sour, dab of yeast. The alcohol warms me ever so slightly, its lovely and very simple. A7 A5 F8 P4 Ov15 3.9

Bottled. Hazy pale yellow, no head. Fruity buckwheat aroma. Fairly sweet with light-medium body and trounded mouthfeel. Paper and butter with orangey notes. No bitterness. A quite simple withbier.

Good, creamy & collapsing yellowish head, leaving some lace over amber-golden beer. Astringency in the nose, cooked vegetables, lightly sourish odour as from pickles. Stale cookies, oxydized malts; bit toasted and (cheap) alcohol very prominent, even almondy. Flavour of orange peel. Burning MF, astringent, medium bodied, alcoholwarming. Disappointing beer; I’ve had better from Moulins d’Asq.
