Yummy French Beer?


Well, this trip to France made things really clear to me. I think I'm more French than Italian! Shelly and I chowed down on some great food during our stay. However, we did pick a crappy salami. I however, redemed this sloppy choice with the fantastic La Goudale beer. This 7.2% Blonde poured out with a creamy head. Their website says it is a recipe dating back to the middle ages. Translated: This beer is awesome! The problem...you probally won't be able to find it in the USA. According to the website:
Among the major distributors : Atac, Auchan, Carrefour, Casino, Champion, Cora, Géant, Intermarché, Leclerc, Match, Monoprix, Super U.
There are a few places in the states you can find it. Check out RateBeer to find a place near you.
This beer has intense malty flavors, with hints of some earthy undertones. The flavor fills your mouth and goes down smoothly. Beer Advocate gave this beer a solid "B." I give it a solid "A." If you ever find youselves in France...stop by an Auchan or Champion and pick some up. You can thank me later.
