Appearance - 6 | Aroma - 6 | Flavor - 5.5 | Texture - 6 | Overall - 5.5
Bottle from Le Petit Casino: pours gold with white head. Aroma is a tad skunky, lightly bready. Taste is mostly pretty sweet. Minimal hop character, aside from a minimal light bitterness. Meh, but drinkable.

Bottle from Le Petit Casino: pours deep gold with whjte head. Aroma is light yeast, plenty of honey, some ambiguous fruitiness. Taste is light bitterness, ample sweetness. Fine, but hardly worth mentioning. That said, its restraint could be copied by third tier American brewpubs when they attempt this style.

Le Petit Casino: assuming this is the French version, coming in a 25cl bottle. Pours brownish red with small head. Aroma is cherries and maltiness. Artificial tasting. Not very good at all.

Le Petit Casino: pours a weirdish light orange color. Aroma is basically passionfruit and citrus. Overly sweet, but weirdly not terrible. Drinkable for what it is.

Le Petit Casino: pours copper with fluffy head. Aroma is lightly spicy, earthy. Seems closer to a hoppy Belgian pale ale than an IPA. Taste is lightly bitter. Fairly dry. Not really am IPA other than being kind of hoppy. Fine to drink though.

Bottle purchased at Le Petit Casino: pours gold with white head. Bad metallic, vegetal aroma. Not sure what percentage should be attributed to the clear bottle and how much to the mediocre brewing. Taste is sweetish, light actual bitterness at the end. Not great.

Bottle at Roasty's pours light gold with white head. Aroma is lightly metallic, grainy. Clean, but at the expense of being tasteless. Not as watery as it could have been but still watery.
Appearance - 8 | Aroma - 7.5 | Flavor - 7.5 | Texture - 7 | Overall - 8
Tavour: pours hazy but not murky light yellow with a white head. Aroma is tropical fruit, lime, Nectaron leaves its mark. Taste is lightly bitter, and it is less sweet than some of its competitors, at least at first. But later sips were certainly sugary. Generally quite good.
