Flag Spéciale (Cote dIvoire)

(I’ve finally got some from the place Bov got his from) :o) ... Straw couloured, with a slight bronze tinge in the light. Decent white, but short-lasting head. Floral, slightly citrusy nose with a piney note. Moderate, but slightly biting condition. Palate pretty dry, the beer is pretty thin, with a crisp, if a bit tongue-coating, bitterness, with more citrus and pine. All in all a good surprise, pretty drinkable, tasty and well-balanced for such an "exotic" pale lager.

Řlfestival 2007. Thanks to Per. Pours a clear, light yellow with a spare white head. Smells floral. Modereate sweetness with some hay aromas. Light grassy notes too with hints of honey. Also a light alcoholic touch and a hint of vinegar. Average carbonation.

Thin white head. Paleish yellow body. Light malty rubbery aroma with honeyish notes. Sweetish-dry chalky dry apple and malt taste with honeyish notes. Chemical background. It’s not bad. (0.5l bottle at RBNAG’07.)

clear and pale golden colour, little chaotic foam; fresh aroma of paper with a lemony touch; effervescent, medium-bodied at best; clean palate; quite sweet, low (if any) bitterness; lot of residual sugars in the finish - drinkable

A light golden beer with a thin white head. The aroma is sweet with strong cardboard notes along with lighter notes of honey. The flavor is sweet malty with notes of cardboard and akaciatree honey, and a light flowery hop note. Surprisingly good. Thanks Per.
