My first from L'Apaisee', I went on their website in French and I could not find an English button. But since reading French is a lot less working than even attempting to read German, I found this out: L'Apaisee' is about ten years old and has a brew shop next to train yard, a separate taproom and a nightclub that serves a little food in Geneva. UnTappd has listed 261 beers for this nano. All impressive for a ten year old. So for doing all this stuff, I give L'Apaisee' very good Overall Hugs.

Jonquille was something of a mystery. When I bought it, I thought it was a saison, since I've had at least two saisons by that name (one famous and probably inspired the other and I thought L'Apaisee'.) I open the can and take two sips and say, "This is a hoppy saison. But it still goes well with the bread I'm eating while the French Alps in its springtime glory go by me on the train." I finish the ale and the lingering hops make me think a saison this Jonquille is not. Sure enough, UnTappd styles it an APA. So we go with that.

I don't know Jonquille's Looks because I drank it out of a can; so call it average. Smells out of a can are naturally less strong. I really don't want to call this balanced as the hops did bother me at the end, although I also had some wrong thinking. It was refreshing and light to medium mouthed.
