Tom Beers @ Geneva. A new place for me. A bit outside the downtown. It's a beer shop (and other alcohol drinks) plus a bar. The terrace is small, just outside the shop/bar on the pavement. All the seats were occupied but no worries, the lady brought me an extra table and chair. I wonder if it would work in our rule-obedient 🇫🇮 as flexibly. Now the beer. The brewery — La Meltingpote — is also new to me. Untappd still lists it actually a homebrewery but it has already gone commercial since the beers are sold in this bar. The beer shows a hazy, pale yellow complexion. Carbonation is subdued but produces a clean white, frogspawny head up to one finger. A neat lace ring is what remains on the top done the head itself is gone. Weak aromas of carambola and lemon can be captured in the air. A faintly dry-grassy offer, by the way. The taste doesn't thrill me much. At all. If the fragrance is weak, the flavor profile is not much bigger. I can pick lemon pulp, raw pineapple, carambola and dry grass. All in moderation. Not really impressive. The body is thin. That's it. The end is identical to upfront. Same same. The finish vanishes fairly fast from the tastebuds. The mouthfeel is thin, zesty, basically refreshing, slightly dry and drying but also rather lackluster. Phew.
