Surprising as it might seem, I have found a nice French beer. Perhaps there are others but there surely can't be many. I am not going to ramble on about it because I have neither the memory (it was Saturday night) nor the vocabulary, but I advise getting hold of some Ch'Ti.
On Saturday I mamaged to get hold of a pair 750ml champagne corked bottles of each of their Amber and Blonde beers.
The Amber (5.9% ABV) is a light brown colour, slightly dry but not gassy — there is no hoppy flavour but a little fruitiness, a little malt but not overpowering.
The Blonde (6.4% ABV) is slightly darker and more viscous than the usual yellow piss.
Neither has any sediment, despite claims on the bottle which appear to be about secondary fermentation, &c. Perhaps it was the spicy food I had just eaten, but neither of them seemed to have much in the way of odour either.
Where to get it? I have, once or twice, seen this stuff in a large supermarket, but the place they can most commonly be found is Budgens. I don't know why a place best known as a source of late-night porn and Ginsters should make the effort to import this stuff but I am glad they do.
