On draught at Ninkasi Croix-Rousse. Light brown and very clear. Resinous scent, with a strong floral note. Bittersweet and nicely balanced. Body is a bit thin but the aftertaste is nice and hoppy. My favourite of the Ninkasi beers.

Draft at Ninkasi Croix-Rousse. Mid- to dark gold. Very little head or visible carbonation. Bland and slightly medicinal aroma. Bit of kumquat. Sweet taste with a hint of bitterness. Sourness and astringency in the aftertaste. A mediocre beer. For the ABV I wanted much much more.

Draught at Ninkasi Croix-Rousse. Golden brown with a shade of red. Little ring of off-white head. Full raspberry aroma with a malty note. Nice. Lovely taste, not all that exciting but a decent bittersweet balance. Weird astringent aftertaste which I’m finding to be an unfortunate trademark for this brewery. Nonetheless a nice enough fruit beer, much better than so many others of this style...

Draught at Ninkasi Croix-Rousse. Light yellow, slightly hazy. Clovey grainy aroma, ok but not up to much. The taste is the best thing about the beer, with a surprising hoppy bitter twang among the sweetness. Odd medicinal aftertaste takes it down a notch. A mixed bag but certainly drinkable.

Draft at Ninkasi Croix-Rousse. Light to mid-gold. Clear with a bit of white head and lots of lacing. Looks mega-filtered. Smells it, too... although the citrussy malty aroma is pleasant enough. Taste is sweetish and a bit stale and uninteresting. Not particularly fond of this one but it’ll do.

Light floral hops and q faint touch of citrus. Golden pour with OK head and lacing. Comes together OK but pretty light on palate. Light sweet finish. Hint of flower resin. Tastes more like a light Belgian ale than a tripel. Tap at Churchkey.

At one of the brewpubs: Pours golden with a white head. Aroma is grass. This beer is pretty bitter and a bit herbal. I didn’t like the first few sips as I kept at it, it grew on me. Not bad at the end of the day.
