Au moins elle est fraîche.

Finally here. Not that I've been waiting for this... This place used to be called "La Taproom" although it wasn't a real taproom, like at the verge of a brewery or something. Anyway, it was a beer bar. Not very impressive but one of the best ones in this beerwise unimpressive city. Well, then they decided to "develop" the place to a cocktail bar. Called "Mademoiselle Fifi". Last time I was in Geneva, the place was closed for some reason. Now is my chance! They still have the beer taps, actually quite a good series of them, but their beer selection contains just a few local beers, most of them macro ones. This beer is the only 🇨🇭 beer that I haven't tasted before. This place has never been a must place in the city, now the ambience is different. At least, they have an up-to-date beer list on Untappd, easy to check if there's anything interesting available. If not, no need to bother. But now, a Lager that I haven't tasted before. Looks lucid gold. A clean white, silky head exceeds one finger and descends to a neat lacing on the top. The nose gets excited because of the faint buttery nuance. Diacetyl? Could be an off-flavor but I don't give a sh*t. I like D. Pale malt, cracker and faint grass in the background. The tastebuds aren't overwhelmed but nod their heads for acceptance: grainy pale malt, moderate buttery diacetyl, water cracker and a truly faint grassy hoppy wisp. The off-flavor makes my day! The body is light. The end is grainy malty, I don't get diacetyl anymore but I still wouldn't call this "clean" either. The mouthfeel is light, easy, slightly butyric, considerably distantly crisp and equally modestly drying. Balanced? Yes (imo). Clean? Nope. And that's good!

Belle blonde!!
