=========

Grand Cru has a full, dense, white head of foam, lacy and beautiful. Very pale in color, brilliantly bright and appetizingly pale golden, Grand Cru has a delicate nose full of subtle hops and fruit with a backdrop of malt and honey. Grand Cru is very dry on the palate, firm in body and well-attenuated with a pleasant fruity bitterness and wonderful toasted malt character.
