Britt Ar-Men Rousse

Brewed by Brasserie Britt (Brasserie de Bretagne)
Style: Amber Ale
Trégunc, France

A hazy red beer with a small disappearing white head. The aroma is sweet with notes of roasted bread, berries, and hints of plastic. The flavor is disgusting - primarily of plastic, but also roasted malt and a dry hoppy end.

Hazy brown colour with a big beige head. Aroma of mats, with notes of fruit and alcohol. Sweet flavor dominated by malts and a bit smoke (whiskymalt ?). Not much bitterness and aftertaste.

Beautiful amber color. Some malt, with a light smokey note. Also a smokey note, but thin body, and short final.

clear pale brown, almost no foam, caramel aroma with some diacetyl notes, toasted, very sweet, medium-bodied, malty and caramelish aftertaste

Very rotten and disgusting aroma. I almost vomited. Very bad flavour as well. This is truly a terrible brew.

Deep copper-amber coloured beer topped by a thick sticky white head. Aroma shows lots of oxidized malts over some deep earthy caramel sweetness. Some toffee and a bit of spicy hoppiness that comes out as well. Flavour is okay, but there is a very muted character to the malts and that oxidized flavour that just won’t go away.

From bottle at Le Sous-Bock, Paris. Hazy deep copper with a stable, off-white head. Malty and spicy aromas and flavours with a very dry finish. Quite full-bodied. Improves with drinking.

Aroma is very fruity and hoppy. A mix between the cat pee-grapefruit of highly hopped IPAs with the sour wild strawberrry of a fruit beer. Hazy red-amber with chunks, topped with off-white thin foamy lacing head. Medium watery body with light carbonation. Tastes hit you one at a time, rather than a melded cacophony of flavors. Sweet, berries, straw, hops, yeast, metal. The finish is light acidic, with yeasty bitterness and metallic fruitiness. After is fruity with light chalky bitterness. Overall, not a bad beer, and reminds me more of an American pale ale with it’s hoppiness than it does a typical French brew.
