Not your typical green bottle pale. Had a bite with lots of carbonation and a watery after taste. It’s not as bad as I thought after the first one. Is a malty pale lager that satisfies that taste if that’s what you want. This may be France’s most popular, but hopefully not their best beer.

Too soft aroma. Soft golden colour and soft foam too. Soft wood flavor with fruit notes in palate. Not an awfully bad beer, but it is not a meal beer neither a refreshing one.

Sold in Morocco in tall-boy cans (50 cl) in specialty stores. Pale in colour, a bit watery. Has some sort of quasi-fruit like aftertaste that bothers me a little bit. Rather syrupy- throat feels like I just drank a gallon of soda. Not as bad as most beers in Morocco, but nothing special. Could be Pabst for all I care. On an unrelated note, back home in Philadlephia, this is considered a "classy" beer in the trendy hipster bars. Ugh.

Pale colour, white head. Some grassy hops noticable in aroma and flavour. Sad beer.

Had this sampled in Collioure, close to the eastborder to Spain with Sus, Jes and Helle on the biketour. We enjoyed it alot after the biketours to Latour and pleased it for its watery flavor.

04/10 Here goes my first real French beer, a 0.33 l bottle from an Europaspar in Graz. Pale golden bodied with medium head. Very cheap aroma of some minor hops, typical for a pale lager. Flavor was even less impressive, slightly bitterish, watery, almost tasteless, with lot of carbonation. Almost no finish and what left is not pleasant but so short it doesn’t matter. Can’t believe the main French export beer is so dull.

Bottle. Golden color with a big white head that disappears rather quickly. Grainy aroma with faint hints of hops. Sweet flavor with some corn and light bitterness and metal in the finish. Really thin and watery.

I seem to be in the mood for this kind of stuff tonight. This isn’t terrible. Dry, kind of tasteless. Its better then a Heiny I suppose. Classic green bottle funk skunk...On a different day, I would probably slaughter this in the ratings....shows you how subjective it all is....hold up...the water thin gulps is starting to effect me...score rapidly sinking...
