COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTION
Made in the tradition of artisan brewers, Sans Culottes is a blonde beer sur lie. Probably the best bière de garde for the uninitiated to start with. Packed in a 75 cls bottle with a wired-down cork, Sans Culottes sports a brilliantly eye-catching label showing a revolutionary soldier proudly wearing his pantalons, having wisely forsaken his culottes for the coming struggle.

Ungstrup (26237) - Citizen of the universe, DENMARK - MAR 1, 2004
An orange beer with a fine white head. The aroma is sweet yeasty. But the flavor is not good - it is a very weird fruit flavor.

Papsoe (25131) - Frederiksberg, DENMARK - AUG 2, 2005
(Bottle 75 cl) Pretty, golden, slightly hazy with a decent head. Very full-bodied with a fruity sweetness and a distinct alcohol glow. Lightly perfumy with a hoppy finish. 261201

omhper (17456) - Stockholm, SWEDEN - JUL 27, 2005
UPDATED: SEP 12, 2005 Bottled. Hazy golden, brief head. Aroma of toffee and paper. Medium bodied with rather lively mouthfeels. Grassy hops along with herbal spices and a lot of orange peels make up most of the flavour. Salty finish. A well balanced, typical north French ale.

Dedollewaitor (12285) - Odense, DENMARK - AUG 3, 2008
75cl bottle. Pours clear golden with a white creamy head. Aroma is sweet malty. Very matured nose - round & vinous with fruity notes. Taste is sweet & bready & ends very dry without any notes of hops. Smooth & slick palate. Slightly metallic. Drinkable!

bu11zeye (11111) - Frisco (Dallas), Texas, USA - OCT 17, 2004
(Bottle) Pours a golden yellow body with large white head. Aroma of rich stilton cheese, leather, eathiness, musitness, smoke, and some pepper. Creamy textured palate.

Oakes (10935) - Savusavu, FIJI ISLANDS - MAY 6, 2001
UPDATED: JUL 1, 2007 Soft, creamy, fruity (peach), and lots of subtle flowery hop (roses?). Beautifully balanced and very elegant. This is a very aromatic beer - flowery, fruity, with some malt towards the end. Reminds me a bit of Veuve Cliquot.

Re-rate: Perfumey, peachy, appley aroma with biscuity malts. Light malt underpins pearlike fruity notes. The yeasty toastiness is not here this bottle (it is not bottle-conditioned). Alcoholic note late. Not as complex nor as flavourful as I remember. Still good, but no longer great (this corresponds with a bottle I had a couple years ago but did not re-rate).
