(330 ml blue bottle, code 8114 J 10; purchased cold... poured into an Innis & Gunn fluted goblet)

L: tall, two-finger high, tight white pillow of foam atop a rather cloudy pale yellow liquid - now this is what I expect to see in a wit... head doesn't hold as long as expected, but it does lace thick and crusty

S: popped off crown - skunked!... once poured in glass, the skunk persists, but rather lovely, potent, perfumy tones of the citrus and subtle coriander push to the fore... the skunk may linger in the background, but overall the aromas are inviting

T: interesting taste at first... rather wheaty like a puff pastry and colored in flowery tones... by the second sip it's definitely growing on me... dry, lemon-zesty aftertaste, coriander gradually builds... the skunk essence does vapor forth onto the palate while going in for a sip, lingers a little in the aftertaste, but the full flavor of its core elements sound loud enough to drown it out - if you'd had Heineken enough over the years, this little defect shouldn't distract much, but it'd of course be preferable without and I'm sure make a noticeable difference

F: foamy and fluffy, fleecy soft; subtle powdery touch, delicate little spicy tickle at the back of the palate... not much in need of adjustment - easily gulpable

O: wasn't expecting such restrained intensity, color, and quality in flavor - might be one of my new favorites... gotta find cans though - can't help but think I'd rate higher off that

12 oz. bottle. Nice yellow color with white foamy head. Flavors don't work together- citrus, white wine, and slight spice are noted but overall this is a mediocre beer.

No date on 11.2oz bottle poured into teku glass on Nov 3, 2023.

Appearance - Hazy opaque yellow body. Fine sudsy white head. Good lacing, stick, and decent to good retention. 3.25

Smell - Citrus. Floral. Bready. Peach. Actual peach, or low enough . Mellow and rounded. Pumpkin. 4.5

Taste - Light peachy flavor. Faint hoppy bitterness just present enough to prevent it from being a fruit juice. But nothing more than that. Super clean. 4.75

Mouthfeel - Refreshing. Balanced. Delicate. Medium bodied. Creamy. 5

Overall - One of the most delicate, and balanced wheat beers I've ever had. The character changes from pour to pour, and improves as if warm. And additional pour killed the aroma, and made it taste more bitter. Thin and one-note. Evolves in real time. First French beer I've ever liked maybe. 4.25

How is it legal to call this beer? It has glucose syrup and inverted sugar added and you can tell.
simply terrible.
This is to beer what BoonesFarm is to wine, or what botulism is to tuna...

This is actually very fresh. Slight Doral and citrus notes. Initial taste of lemon. Afters of malt, coriander, banana.Smooth full feel and good looking pour. Not bad at all.
