Fuck the French. Okay, now that I got that out of the way, this is quite an alright French brew. They're more well known for their wine, but apparently they can make a good brew. But their wine-making expertise shows in this brew.
This was a very dark brew with a slightly orange tint to it. It left behind a huge head that collapsed pretty quickly. It did leave an almost soda-like carbonation film behind though. This carbonation carried through for the rest of the tasting. It was a very sweet-smelling brew but otherwise it was a little bland - Fonnie and I couldn't ID any specific scents aside from that. It tasted very sweet and fruity. It also had a little bit of a dry taste to it - like wine. Basically, everything up to this point was reminiscent of wine. ...And it didn't stop there. The texture was very smooth but it had very little body. There was no bitterness though - it was all sweet and it had a very nice flow of flavors throughout the tasting.
Overall, I think I gave this a pretty average rating. It is a pretty average brew. It's something new and interesting, at least. But, it's evidenced that the French are good at making wine in this brew because I think it reminds me more of wine than beer.
