Beer in France: Montauban!
The second beer of the trip was a Karlsbrue Amber, or "Ambre" as the waitress pronounced it. Jon, Reza and I had .5L of this beer each. As you can tell from the picture below, it is NOT the typical amber color we have in America. Again, it was a Belgian style beer, light and smooth.

Beer in France!
Beer in France!
Tuesday evening, Debbi, Gerard, Jon and I took a trek to Moissac. We ate at a single level, quaint, local pub, called Au Bureau, nestled amongst old buildings and a large common area. According to our host, Gerard, they have markets in the common area on Saturdays.The pub had a warm, romantic feeling to it. A lot of darker wood comprised the interior, along with a low ceiling and tight walking spaces.
My beer of the evening was an Abbey De Leffe Blonde. It was a typical Belgian beer, light and semi fruity, with little flavor of hops. The color was darker than I expected for a "blond" beer of which I am accustom. The beer was served in a proper glass as seen below.

Debbi had a Hoegaarden ale. The beer was served in a standard pint glass and accompanied with a slice of lemon. Her beer was very smooth and suited her taste preferences well. The color and texture reminded me of a Widmer Hefeweizen, but the flavor was marginally similar.
Au revoir!
