More tree felling and log cutting today. 🌲🌳🪓🪚🪵 I'm physically ready to retire. Thank God tomorrow is Monday! The beer looks turbid, raisin brown. And thick, it moves sluggishly like a kissel. The carbonation (yes, I opened this outdoors!) is a bit subdued but it manages to produce a dense creamy head that climbs one finger thick. A relatively impressive lace ring decorates the top for pretty long. The scent... whaat?? A massive slam of raisin comes first. No doubt about it. Raisin and more raisin. A bit later, I find caramel, toffee, oat biscuit and milk chocolate in the fragrance, as well. Interesting! I'm looking forward to sipping the beer as the olfactory profile proves quite different from what I anticipate. Perverted, to be honest. And that works with me. Alright, here I go: I'm spotting raisin, prune, dried apricot, oat biscuit, brown sugar, a wisp of cacao nibs and some sweet syrupy bread. Definitely not what I expected. Better. Nothing sensational but absolutely a nice sipper, especially for a non-alcoholic beer. The body is light or even plus. Would be difficult to guess that this is non-alcoholic if in a blind tasting. The finish loses almost all nuances right after the swallowing. Just a faint caramelly wink can be captured before it disappears, too. The aftertaste's like a fish caught on a hook; it's so in love like mentally shook; after all it's been through there's nothing like free jazz. The mouthfeel is light, interestingly thick, flavorful, soft, even velvety, and smooth. Balanced, easy, gluggable. And finally: the bottle/label. I normally don't assess these things but now I think I have to. The bottle doesn't look appealing, it looks appalling. Pure rubbish. Looks like those hard sodas or breezers or whatever that the teenagers drink at their friends' place when the parents are away. No effect on the rating though. The beer definitely makes me a look like a fool because of my prejudice. Kicks my a*s and I deserve it. Never let the appearance lead you. +0.4 extra stars for being a bold badass. 😅👍🏻 NOTE: The barcode directs to "Bière Blonde sans Alcool" by the same brewery.
