Meduz Blanche

Brewery: Brasserie Artisanale Meduz
Supplier: Beer52

Another from the box, this one is from a French brewery in Uzès of Southern France. This is their lighter range beer that is listed as a Bière de Garde in Untappd but is described as more of a wheat beer, using wheat malt and orange peel, although I don't know if those terms are mutually exclusive.
Appearance: Very clear golden colour with a thin but sustaining pure white head
Aroma: Smells like bread dough with a very slight hint of citrus right at the back
Flavour: Classic wheat fruitiness on the front coupled with some more typical beer notes.
Body: Quite light but way too fizzy.
Aftertaste: A clean finish with just some bitterness that builds at the back

Overall: Therefore this gets a rating of 4, nice enough but has some rough edges.

Price Range: Part of the box of 8 I got for £12 (usually £24), so it works out at £1.50 for a 330ml bottle; probably about right if not a little too much. I wouldn't get it again though.

Food Pairings: Such a clean flavour that nearly anything would overpower it, I would suggest something fresh with a bit of sweetness such as a fruit salad.
