Gayant Bière du Désert

Style: European Strong Lager
Douai, France

From bottle, 33 cl. (bought @ Van Uxeem, taste yesterday at home). Clear darkgolden with a white head. Aroma fruits, malts, yeast. Medium body. Taste yeast, sweet , grains, malts, some bitterness.

(Bottled) Clear golden with a very small head. Fruity-honeyish, slightly sweet aroma. Grainy-malty flavor with sweetish lime and lemon hiding the alcohol pretty well. Medium body with quite smooth carbonation. Pretty decent for a strong lager (although the label says "strong ale). Me thinks this would not get you very far in a desert, though ;)

Clear golden with tiny white head. Sweet malty aroma with fruity and alcohol notes. Sweet flavor with fruity and caramel notes.

(Bottle 33 cl) Courtesy of yespr. Clear golden with a white head. Aroma of malt and alcohol. Fairly full-bodied, sweetish malty with some unclean brewing cereal and a somewhat burning alcohol in the finish. 140308
