This squeeks by 3 monts as the best French ale Wasatch (270), Layton, Utah, USA

Pours a nice clean golden color, nice carbonation, little fizzy white head, with some islands and sticky lacing around the edges. The nose is malty, very sweet, with some spicyness. The taste is sweet, malty, very slight yeast and spice. Medium body, the finish is slightly dry. Very drinkable, this is a awesome little brew, highly recommended.

From the lookj of it, on might think this just another pilsner. But this first impression is denied as soon as you taste the beer: it has a very nice sweetness, avoiding much of the hoppy bitterness characteristic of many blond beers. I was a bit bothered by the clear bottle: this brew deserves better. Bukowski9 (89), Piqua, Ohio, USA

| 3.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 5/5 | 6/10 | 5/5 | 14/20 | Mar 27, 2006 Had a bottle of this last night. 12 oz green bottle labeled Jenlain Blonde French Golden
Ale Brasseurs. Nose not skunked despite the green bottle; mostly very humble grass &
grain, some spice and floral notes. The brew pours a light clear golden straw. The
outstanding head has an impressive cascade like a fine stout and morphs into a firm rocky
pure white head that leaves stiff hunks of lace on the side of the glass, and has great
retention. The flavor is mostly sweet but not overly so. The light creamy body is smooth
as silk. It is this type of experience that keeps me trying new beers. After almost 500
samples I’ve never tried anything like this offering. Both interesting, and different.
