the best of the brand... incredible amber ale with a slice of gentiane (i didn’t knew what it is) tryed at beerpassion weekend at antwerp, it’s simply a great beer.

Bottle 0,33ltr: Amber coloured brew with an suprising Duvel-like spicy start, good slightly sweety sourness due cherries/berries?

bottle from Village de la Bière Strasbourg France. Hazy red-brown colour, large off-white head. Fruity nose. Shy malty background, bitter, quite herbal with hints of dark berries and currant. Spicy with intensive herbal accents. Smooth carbonation.

Bouteille 33cl @La Bièrerie. Bière opaque de couleur ambrée brune avec beaucoup de dépôt, la mousse et moyenne à grosses bulles et de mauvaise qualité, elle disparait instantanément. Nez d’épices, fruits murs et alcool. Arôme moyennement sucré, avec une base typique "dubbel" avec un maltage caramélisé et quelques notes chocolatées. Intenses notes de fruits (légère acidité), florale, l’amertume est florale aussi et reste très longtemps en bouche. Bière ayant une corps intéressant et équilibre.

Bouteille 33 cl de L’Empire du Malt à Clermont-Ferrand (F). Dorée voilée à belle mousse blanche sur pétillement nerveux, dentelles au verre. Nez de malt et agrumes, orange, gentiane, herbes. Goût doux, caramel et terreux de gentiane. Elle remplace avec originaltité un houblonnage. Fruité et amertume de plantes, herbes, agrumes et gentiane. Jolie bière régionale à ne pas boire trop froide.

A decent French beer, how about that? The gentiane root flavour is a little odd at first, but it gets used to. Overall, a decent beer.

Cloudy orange brown beer. Very dry palate, Orange and mandarin fruity malt. Brief banana. Finishes with dry spicy malt. Nice flavour but the overdry palate lets it down a bit.

Has a heavy aroma of hops, with hints of malts. Pours with a muddy brown body and a small bit of solid off-white head. Taste is lots of hops, malts, and some wood notes. Bone dry finish. Pretty good.

Pours a dark amber color. Aromas of hops, caramel, and a hint of citrus. Flavor is malty with a touch of nuts and chocolate finished with some mild hop action.

Bottle 330ml.
