A couple of years ago this actually used to be one of the better lagers. Sadly it has fallen away badly. It is now one of the worst, if not the worst. I’ve lost count of the amount of cans thrown over the ground lately. A good sign that this is now a chav lager, nothing french about it apart from the name. This is woeful and full of chemicals and leads to a hangover.

500 mL can. Pours a clear gold with a thin white head that seems to want to stick to the sides and covers the surface with a scanty film, leaving lace on the sides as it is sipped. The aroma is wheat with a floral-fruity quality about it and a light hint of honey and a little bit of a skunky note but not too pronounced. The taste is light malt with an accent of honey with a very light aftertaste of honey, light-bodied but not watery. The hops offer a whisper at best. Overall pretty clean finish. A nice beer to visit but I won’t stay with this one.

From can. urine yellow/orange in colour. Crisp white head. Medium carbonation. Sweet honey flavour, slick syrup texture. Slight hint of malt. A little different than other lagers this style. A bit to chemically and not that good.

Skunky aroma out of the bottle. May have something to do with the brewers. Clear gold with a foamy white head and ok lacing. Aroma of cereal/grain and some light citrus hops. Taste of malt/barley with a cereal/grain aftertaste.

Good Euro lager. Not too heavy. A little malty, but in a good way. Golden body. Actually enjoyed it more from tap than a bottle. Not necessarily on my buy again list, but not bad.
