Just a small update folks

I recently started a new job as a teacher at an engineering school in Paris. I have not had a lot of time to write anything , let alone drink a beer and review it. I will, however, be doing one next weekend, so stay tuned!

La Montreuilloise Blanche- un chef-d'œuvre organique( An organic masterpiece)

Whenever I hear the words "organic" and "beer"mentioned in the same breath, I usually run the other way. I'm not sure how much more organic a beer needs to be , at least in regards to how organic most beer already is(at least here in Europe, save of course for cheap water in cans that passes for beer, Budweiser and Coors, *cough*) . However, I had recently been presented with this beer at our last BBQ by a friend, and was expecting to be underwhelmed. Boy was I wrong!

I won't dive into why I dislike "organic" foods, let alone the labels, but this beer was truly a surprise. Upon opening the bottle, I was immediately overtaken by the smell of yeast(the cloudy pour with various particles, easily visible, prepared me for such) and a different tasting variety of hops(not sure where they came from, but they tasted slightly bitter sweet, almost "pickley" ). It had a lively, slightly fruity taste, with a mix of citrus and light floral notes, and was so smooth that, thanks to the mixture of heat, heavy eating , and the excellent taste of this beer, I was able to quaff a 75cl bottle in under ten minutes ,with the help of my brother in law of course.  I'm still wary of organic, but this brew is definitely worth a try.

Price:  €3,50
