COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTION
Grand Cru is a speciality beer carefully crafted by Belgium’s St Feuillien Brewery. This extra-blond amber nectar masterpiece undergoes refermentation in the bottle, resulting in a beer endowed with unforgettable character. The secret lies in the unique combination of the most noble hops and the finest aromatic ingredients. Grand Cru differs from other beers in the range by its absence of spices. Its full, white head is light and frothy, and when poured it creates a subtle lace effect. The very pale colour of Grand Cru lends clarity and brilliance to its body.
Grand Cru’s delicate nose is a veritable cascade of hoppy aromas with hints of fruitiness coupled with subtlety and sheer richness.
When savoured, the first sip is light and intriguing. The next impression is one of a slight bitterness full of captivating nuances. When it hits the palate, Grand Cru creates a lingering moment of hoppiness, rounded off by an intense yet pleasant bitterness.

3.7
UPDATED: APR 4, 2024 11.2 oz bottle. Pours a cloudy bright gold with a pillowy white head. Dry hops smells. Yeasty sharp tastes of light lacquer and sharp hops, leather and some dank farmyard. Very balanced and delicious.
3.7
UPDATED: MAR 21, 2024 Poured from 330mL bottle (bb 20/08/24). Clear blonde with full white head. Chewy belgian yeast, some light pepper, very feint metallic quality in the background (mostly covered by the huge bready chew of the yeast), hops are pretty hidden at this point (just feint bit on the finish). Decent.
3.8
UPDATED: FEB 28, 2024 Flesje gedronken bij Harrie.
Licht geel bier met een volle schuimkraag die als een film blijft liggen.
Aroma is hoppig en kruidig.
Smaak is hoppig en zoet.
Jammer dat de smaak snel wegtrekt.
3.6
UPDATED: FEB 15, 2024 Botella de 75 cl. Color amarillento ligeramente turbio con una gran espuma blanca, bastante carbonatada. Aroma agradable, afrutadas (pera y uva), notas ligeramente dulces. Sabor agradable, perfil algo dulce, especiado, futa y con final seco, amargo.
3.1
UPDATED: DEC 27, 2023 0,3 cl bottle. Nice beer, but this one won't become a regular in my fridge.
3.8
UPDATED: OCT 29, 2023 (Bottle) Pours slightly hazy golden with big white head. Nice aroma with a mix of pear drop esters, peppery spice and hints of caramel. Medium bodied with plenty of bright carbonation. Nice taste too. Starts with some honey and caramel sweetness and a peppery bitterness swiftly develops. There’s some alcohol and pear drops apparently too. Very enjoyable.
3.8
UPDATED: OCT 6, 2023 33cl bottle on 27-Sep-2023. Hazy blonde ale with a bold character and sweet fruity backbone complemented by Belgian yeast.
3.8
UPDATED: MAY 17, 2023 Mild smell of sweet malt. Golden colour, high white head. Aroma of sweet malt, straw, faint honey and yeast. Soft plentiful carbon. Sweet.
3.5
UPDATED: MAY 13, 2023 Bottled, 330ml at the Bier Huis Grand Cafe, St. Ives, Cornwall. Hazy yellow gold with white head. This is a particularly yeasty, boozy light Belgian Ale, saison type notes with pear drops and esters. Leafy hops float in and out becoming more bitter through the beer. It's a decent beer.
3.8
UPDATED: MAY 7, 2023 Bottle pour at the The Belgian Brewers' Bash in Washington DC. Poured a hazy yellow color with a huge white head. Aroma was candi, some light herbal notes, light funky, lemon citrus. Flavor was similar, light citrus, some mild funk. Tasty stuff.
