250ml bottle in Pays Basque after completing the French Divide. Pale golden yellow, sparkling. A little thin and dry.. soft gentle apple glimpses, rustic touch, with some mild funk moments. Ok.

330ml bottle after completing the French Divide, opened at our rest chalet in Pays Basque. Pours deep hazed brown, large off-white head. Lovely enticing brune sweetness, a hint of demarera, with a soft dry roast finish. Would probably see it's too sweet to be a stout, more of a French brune really, but still a lovely dark ale.

Draught half @ Restaurant Etchebarne, Mendionde, Pays Basque after cycling 2100km across France off-road in 14 days. First taste of beer in 6 weeks. Pours a clear pale gold, small white head. Ok simplistic blonde, a touch lagery and light bodied.

330ml bottle at Les Collines Iduki after the French Divide. Hazed golden yellow, moderate white head. Some nice fruity exotic hop notes, more like a hazy IPA than a West Coast really. Good balance, gentle low-lying bitterness. Decent session haze.
