Served in a taster glass

Enjoyed at Les Brasseurs while visiting Geneva, Switzerland. Third in the flight of all five beers available on-draft while visiting.

Note: This beer reads "pure malt" on the menu after the name.

A: Medium hazy orange with soft tan bubbly head.

S: Banana, caramel, nutmeg, and a hint of wheat.

T: Sweet caramel and wheat. Hint of carmelized banana and cinnamon.

M: Light/medium body with gentle carbonation.

O: A very enjoyable wheat beer - my favorite of the sampler. Not overly complex, but enough to get your tastebuds excited!

Serving type: on-tap

(From notes)

Poured a really hazy lemon yellow color with a finger of pure white foamy head, only a touch of retention and lacing.

Light citrus in the aroma. some apples and light fruits; grainy and bready. Flavor is fairly grainy and messy; some bread notes; touch of citrus before the cereal character takes over. Doughy in a bad way. MF is really watery with lackluster carbonation that barely tickles the palate in the end. Bit of a chore to take down even a smaller sample with the messy flavors, and lack of any hop presence whatsoever to balance out the grain and fruit.

I had this on tap at Les Brasseurs in Geneva. It was served in a small chalice.

This had a clear golden color, with a thin head. Appeared like any generic pale ale. The aroma was faintly malty, no aroma of hops at all. The flavor was mostly sweet with no hops bitterness. Well carbonated and easy to drink.

I wanted to try some microbrew in Switzerland, so this filled the bill. But nothing worth seeking out.
