Flag Spéciale (Cote dIvoire)

Brewed by Solibra
Style: Pale Lager
Abidjan, Ivory Coast

Sampled 65 cl bottle, RBNAG 2007 in Grimstad. ABV is 5.2%. Pale golden colour. Industrial sickly aroma. Bland and utterly boring flavour.

Plain pilsener apperance. Clear yellow golden. Thin quickly diminishing white head. Weak sweetish malt aroma with whiffs of apples and sugar. Taste is light fruity and grainy with low hopbitterness. Thin body. Not bad, nore moreish either. (Bottle @ RBNAG’07)

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.)

Bottled. Golden coloured. Clear. Light off white head. Sweet and grassy aroma. Flavour is somewhat honeyish. Has grainy notes. Is quite watery and has light bitterness in the end.

(Bottle 65 cl) Courtesy of omhper. Clear, pilsener golden with a white head. Very subdued aromas - perhaps some rice? Thin-bodied with vaguely sweet notes of malt and brewing cereal. High on CO2 but low on hops. But a fairly straight and drinkable Pale Lager. 110507

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.

Ølfestival 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.

Clear golden with disappearing white head. Mostly sweet aroma of grain and butter with appleish notes. Pilsner malt and a hint of hop in the flavor. Uninteresting but not overly bad. Thanks Per for another new country!
