Day 150: May 30, 2015
Diary entry:
No day tripping. Work day.
Once everyone finally woke up that is.
There’s a big summer project upcoming that Erin and I are helping out with, and we were meeting with the organizer to be clear on our roles and responsibilities. So that took up most of the day.
The Beer:
Name: Abbaye De Lille
Style: Blonde Lager
Producer: Brasserie Castelain
Alcohol content: 6.1%
Bottle size: 0.5l Can
Purchased from: Auchan hypermarket outside of Blois, France
Poured a decent copper color, with a bit of head. Flavor-wise, not much there. It wasn’t too cold, within the recommended temperature range, yet it was only at the end of the can that I started to get some bitterness, otherwise, just fizz.
Commercial Description:
The Lille Abbey is a blonde beer tradition. Brewed from pale malts and hops bitterness and providing valuable pine aromas. It is best to store away from light and taste at a temperature of 8 to 10C.
