La Chasse-Pinte
It is summer time and I want to make you travel. It is in Hungary that I make you land. You will set foot, or rather the nose, in a universe of exotic fruit, a little on the pink grapefruit, pineapple and honey. With a beautiful vivacity, the mouth offers a lightness on an almost eternal final... Ok, I exaggerate a little! But at 14.45$, make provisions ... they will quickly disappear !

Blonde beer with the sagebrush, the Artemis will offer you unconventional flavors thanks to the use of the boreal spice. Offering spicy and resinous flavors, the beer will bring a complement to the recipe by providing notes that can recall certain ProvenCal spices that will place the salad. Live effervescence, it bringing freshness to this revisited dish which requires only a touch of sun for maximum pleasure
