Fischer Amber

Brewery: Fischer Beire, France (Alsace region)
Type: Amber ale, 6% ABV, in the flip-top bottle!

 


Appearance: Thick, fizzy head, nice amber color
Taste: Malty, with some bitterness, like someone put a couple of drops of lime. Maybe a touch of sour, too? Not much too it, really.

Overall: 1.5 mugs out of 4. It's an OK beer, but nothing to recommend it and it's not awful.
