Commercial Description:
Fleur-de-lis Restoration Ale is made with English Pale, Lager, Crystal and Cara Pils malted barley. We liberally hopped and dry hopped our Ale with American Cascade and Centennial hops and fermented it with California Ale yeast. The result is a brilliant gold ale with a rich body, mild bitterness and a snappy fresh citrus hop flavor and aroma.

Bottle, pours a clear yellow gold beer with a nice head that diminished quickly. Aroma is nutty and malty with a light nose of hops. Flavor is clean nutty light and grainy. Very good sesh beer but nothing to be braggin about.

Bottle. Clear gold with an amber hue. Appeared to be a lot of carbonation in the pour but the off white head quickly disappeared. Biscuit and citrus present in the aroma but there was also a slight musty smell. Very bland initial flavor eventually gives way to some bitterness in the finish and a sweet citrus taste lingers. Softly carbonated with a watery texture. Easy drinking and refreshing but lacking any solid flavor.

Pours a clear gold with hints of orange and a small white head that dissipates quickly and leaves no lacing. The aroma is very light and has plenty of lemony hops up front. There is a light bready malt smell in the background. The taste is just as light as the aroma. The initial kick is of lemony hops before giving way to the bready malts and other grains. The mouthfeel is light bodied with lots of carbonation and very crisp and dry in the finish. This is what I would consider a very good summer beer. It’s a beer that doesn’t deliver much in the way of flavor or body, but it’s very drinkable.

12oz Bottle: Cloudy copper orange w/ a smallish off-white head. Aroma is hoppy w/ a nice caramel malt background. Flavor is the opposite, malts first followed by the hops. A bit on the thin side w/ a clean finish. Good after work or fishing beer, an easy drinker.

Tap. Pours a darker gold. Nice hoppy smell and taste. This is the best brew I have had from this brewer yet, however it still doesn’t stand out to others in this category. Good offering just not great.

Easy drinker. Pretty gold color. Didn’t smell the citrus but did taste some. Big head with good lacing. Mild is a great way to describe the hoppyness of character. Good for 1st timers trying to get away from BCM.
