Additional beer by the bartender. For free. A Sour NEIPA. Looks like this is a milestone beer: 3️⃣0️⃣0️⃣ 🇨🇭🍺 Looks hazy, pale straw. A moderate head emerges on the top and dies fast. Another obscure scent: lemon zest maybe. The tongue gets lemon zest plus also pith and peel, passionfruit, grass, acidophilus bacteria, wheat malt. Not sure if there's wheat malt here but whatever. The body is light. The tail is lemony but also offers a suggestion of pineapple peel. Gives a zesty, pulpy, pithy, acidic, dry and drying feeling in the mouth. Not bad. Again, a genre that doesn't cross my path too often.

Flight 3/4 (2) smiles as impenetrable, deep yellow. The froth is clean white and generous, with minuscule bubbles. A grapefruity fragrance. Bitter, like pith and peel. Big time. The tongue spots thin flavors. Grapefruit peel, first and foremost. Pith, as well. As if wheat, too. Thin body but not skinny despite the very low ABV. The end is bitter citrusy. Feels crisp, dry, drying and zesty. Sessionable. Not modern gimmicky stuff. Not at all. Back to basics. Yes. A reasonably solid piece at 2.5 %.

Wholly misty, deep copper beer is what I have in the glass. Looks attractive for an Ambrée. The carbonation is somewhat livelier than that of the previous Lager. The head is airy and fluffy, and looks like foamed cream. Exceeds one finger initially but descends fast to a dense lacing on the top and ornaments on the rim. Almost no scent at all. And this is not even ice cold. Just a wisp of bitter caramel can be identified. Otherwise, numb. The tongue receives multiple objects, like grainy malt, bitter caramel, a bit of dried apricot, tea maybe, bitter orange peel, a tad lemon pith and marginal resin. Performs much better on the tastebuds than for the nose. The body is light but not thin at least. Not bigger either. The finish intensifies the bitter sector modestly but the elements don't really change. The mouthfeel is light, modestly crisp, slightly dry and drying. Balanced and gluggable. Easy for an Ambrée but still not characterless. Deserves this rating.

Tonight's flight has five steps. Flight 1/5 shows a lucid gold hue with a truly impotent head that dies fast. Sour elderflower juice with a twist of lemon zest and carambola in the air, heading for my nose. A wheaty maltbase apparently. Elderflower juice it is, in a sour concoction, also in the taste profile. Lemon, passionfruit, carambola, wheat malt and lactic acid linger nicely on the tongue. The body is light. The end is identical to upfront. I didn't expect anything else. Feels zesty, tart, acidic, puckering, astringent and drying.

Arrière goût prononcé.
