Bière Nouvelle

Apperance: The beer is clear orange with medium bubbles, a high nearly white meringue-like head that settles slowly leaving loads of lacing. Some curtains. (4)
Aroma: Smelling sweet fruity, ripe apples, pears, pomegranates, some earthy aromas and a dash of vinegar. (4)
Taste: The taste has a complex picture, and feels "old time", initially sweet, caramelized sugar, some lemon curd , still that dash of vinegar, bitter lemon zest. Mineral water with chalk. (3.5)
Palate: Medium high carbonation, foamy bubbles, medium body soft texture but a rather coarse bitter tang when finishing off. (3.5)
Overall: Has complexity, hides the alcohol well, but a bit to sharp bitter finish. (3.5)
