On tap at Les Trois 8, Paris, December 2014:
Menu indicated that the ABV was 5%. Average at best beer. Light amber color, cloudy, with a thin white head. Stronger malty aroma, but the taste was pretty light and it felt overcarbonated. Decent feel and oddly refreshing.

Odd fruity, yeasty light beer. Peculiar odor, old boots in the closet, dried musty fruit. All kinds of unusual flavors seem to waft through-- some kind of roots, old apple juice. Modest carbonation, rather flat in the mouth. Slight tang of hops and finally some slight bitterness in the aftertaste.
Chunky yeast floaters after the first pour don't win any friends. Not very drinkable, though it might be good fresh from a chilly cellar keg. Label says ABV is 5%.

Tough to find a photo fo this one....Apparently this is a Biere de Garde style from France. Pours a very cloudy orange-yellow, lots of soda-like carbonation and a quickly dissipating head of soapy head. Aroma is faint and has some sour apple, a hint of maltiness and not much else. Flavor is quite pleasant, actually - starting off pretty big, tangy, wheaty and citrusy...Gives way to a long, dry finish punctuated with some sour apple notes here and there. Actually pretty good and quite drinkable, but for $10.99 per 750ml it might price some of you out. Actually pretty good in the style quite refreshing - a great breakfast beer, to be sure, if you do that kind of thing.

Bottle shared at a tasting thanks to larrylsb.
I got mostly the yeasty dregs at the bottom of the bottle, so naturally it was pretty cloudy. Golden color with a medium-sized off-white head.
Aroma is very yeasty, somewhat Belgian, with banana and clove.
Flavor is also very yeasty with pale malt, banana, clove, light fruits, and grassy hops. Pretty good if not too flavorful or exciting.
Medium bodied with some mild bitterness on the palate and nice carbonation level.
Drinkability is very solid. This is pretty good for the style overall.

Bottle courtesy larrylsb. Pours clear gold with a wet off-white head. Aroma is strongly of bubblegum and banana with a light clove note and some other esters. Flavor is light, thin even, with caramel sweetness, a moderate mineral character, and some banana pith. A nice drinkable simple beer, nothing impressive though.

Pours a slightly foggy gold with a quite thin head that falls very quickly. Flavor is fairly grainy with a prevalent sweet tone that is not massive. It comes off as a typical biere de garde to me. Fairly full carbonation. Liquid feel is a bit thicker. Nothing special here really. Could do without it and miss nothing.
