    Good morning BA, meeting up @DoctorZombies in Saint Denis - a Northern Parisian suburb.

    Grimbergen as the selection of the bar is a bit limited but it’s great to meet the first BA in my time here.

    Went to the store early to beat the traffic and at 6:30 am it was already hot and humid. Gonna be 92 again today with humidity not far behind . . .

    Nice clear light gold color with white cap and very good lacing.

    Definite aroma of lime here with an underlying malt base. Can't really find hops because the lime is dominant in the scent.

    Taste is surprising. Rich, bready malt and the lime influence is subtle at first, a mild presence like sweet Key Lime rather than a sharp flavor sometimes found in infused brews. This lime enters as a sotto voice that grows increasingly strong as we approach the finish. Malt remains constant and there are some hops which I can only call floral cause I really can't tell with this lime overlay. Very clean, nothing heavy handed or industrial about it, just straight forward Pils style with sweet lime. If someone told me this is the regular Potosi brewed Duber Dubuque Pilsner with lime added I wouldn't argue.

    Medium texture with balancing carbonation.

    Remarkably balanced for a flavored brew. There's a beeriness about it that pleases this Lager fan with an added lime punch that actually adds to rather than dominates the taste. Very nice, not a great food match I suspect, unless there's lime in the dish, but good enough to buy a six and share with friends.

    I am drinking Leo v. Ursus: Doublus Imperial IPA from Firestone Walker Brewing, ABV 9.50%. It is a new beer that allegedly is the follow up to Double Jack (Double Jack 2.0). It is very aromatic and flavorful, fruity, apricot, mango, grapefruit, and significant pine resin at the end, but not too much, just enough to give a lasting nice aftertaste. It is an excellent IPA.

    Hell yeah. We actually had two Grimbergen - pretty much the point of Beer Advocate; making new fellow beer geek friends. My new friend DoctorZombies might write more about this encounter later when he gets WiFi.

    Just an engaging - easy going guy. Cheers.

    Indeed - his wife was nice enough to take the pics and let us ramble about beer haha. We also talked a bit to an American at this bar from Philly, he was curious about hearing American english accent there, which isn't a touristic area at all. Small world.

    Grimm Psychokinesis. This dry-hopped sour ale pairs very well with the sunny late afternoon we are having here.
    Cheers!
