Saint-Omer, Bière Blonde (France) 
Purchased very inexpensively in France, this has the same ABV as the beer labeled "Reserve de St. Omer Blonde" available in the UK, but I'm not certain it is an identical brew. It has a bright gold colour and thinnish white head. Aromas are sweet and malty, but fresh, with a mineral character and a little grassy note. On the palate it is quite full and thick in texture, with lots of lemony fruit and a bit of hoppy bitterness, with much sweeter, though light malt notes too. A good beer that almost got three stars: it is refreshing and tasty, but in the final analysis, nothing to write home about. 5.0% ABV, 25cl.  |  |
