This beer is advertised as a beer from Auvergne. It's not brewed in Auvergne and by a contract brewer. It even doesn't really taste like beer. Avoid at all cost. There are some better beers from Auvergne

Review from notes made earlier today.

Pours a huge head that fades quickly. No lacing. Light yellow, hazy.
Smell is impressive. Damned if I can pin it down - rich, fermented, like an aromatic herb in the compost. I presume that's from the vervain (verbena).

First tast is a shock - it's like a natural slightly-sweetened home-made lemonade - but with loads of carbonation, too much almost; but it does settle nicely as the glass goes down.

Strong lime, lemon, segues into sour apple (is this a beer?); lemonade again in the back of the mouth, vervain in the roof of the mouth - almost smokey? like herbal tea that's been in the pot all day (I must get vervain tea to see if that's really the case - I have drank it but years ago now...)

Sour on the swallow, *extremely* dry, lemony, very like a dry English cider (it's been a long time, but Strongbow comes to mind).

This is not a beer I'd drink much of, but I'd certainly try and get it again. One for the shade on a hot summer's day - it's a beer you sip, savour, and marvel at :-)
