11 - 14 July. Holiday retreat at Laon. Cheers! Can from V&B Nanterre.
A: hazy orange, no head.
A: tomato juice, bell peppers, moist paprika powder, curry ketchup.
T: sweetish bell pepper, salty tomato, spicy curry & chili powder.
F: peppery chili & curry burn, no hops, vegetables.
P: light to medium body, watery texture, average carbonation.
My disappointment is immeasurable, and my day is ruined. But seriously, I was intrigued and hoping for an actual Smoked beer with some spicy flavours, instead I got a very weak base beer and an overload of the intended flavourings, making it practically undrinkable.

Can from Beer Republic. Hazy yellow, small, stable, foamy, white head. Aroma of ripe nectarine, canned peach, sherbet, orange popsicle, dough, lychee, triple sec, white onion, passion fruit. Taste has sweet nectarine, lychee & tangerine in a thick doughy, creamy, sherbetty malt body with a note of spicy onion. Floral hops in the finish, lingering bitter orange peel, sweet juicy peach and warming triple sec-like alcohol. Full body, creamy texture, soft carbonation. Very delicious, juicy and creamy without becoming artificial.
