COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTION
Bottle; Unfiltered.
Gavroche was a generous and rebellious Paris urchin and a character in the Victor Hugo (1802-1885) novel “Les Misérables.” It is also a strong, amber beer, where the flavour of its top-fermentation yeast combines perfectly with the taste of the special malts. Fermented again in the bottle, the Gavroche beer should be served with care between 10 and 12°C.

clear amber with a big off white head. Sweet fruit and yeast aroma which is surprising with the dry, somewhat bitter flavor. Just a hint of alcohol too.

colts9016 (198) - Idaho, USA - MAR 5, 2008
The pour is a deep red with a two to three finger tan head. The nose is bready malty, citrus, caramel and molasses. The taste is malty and sweet syurpy and thick with hints of yeast. The beer would be better 5 or 6 years down the road.

33cl bottle. Pours amber color with a nice white head. Aroma is malty, olives can be felt. Flavor is somewhat sweet with notes of olives in the aftertaste.

fles 33 cl Kleur: amber/bruin met een creme schuimkraag. Geur: Licht zoetig (fruit?), Mout en hout. Smaak: Licht zoet, met een lekker bitter. Nasmaak van bitter blijft lang achter. Alcohol is nauwelijks te proeven.

HenryXXX (181) - British Columbia, CANADA - JAN 22, 2012
This beer has small head with an amber color. The nose has raisin. The flavor is raisin, followed by a crispness followed by a very coppery flavor. the finish a bit crispness and mineral but very round. ---Rated via Beer Buddy for iPhone

eyesandsmiles (179) - Mission Viejo, California, USA - MAR 14, 2007
A decnet beer that mimics many others. Smells standard and tastes like the bastard child of better beers.

Jessop (178) - AUSTRALIA - JAN 10, 2011
Deep copper in colour with a creamy, pillowy off white head, showing decent carbonation without over doing it. A light floral fruity note precedes a medium bodied and well balanced beer that finishes slightly bitter, abrupt and with a hint of sourness, at 8.5% it has the alcoholic kick without the overpowering alcoholic flavour.

FLnative80 (174) - Orlando, Florida, USA - JUL 18, 2008
Bottle. 11.2 fl. oz. Slightly hazy, ruby color with nice, silky cream-colored head. Excellent lacing and longevity. Aromas of fruit, vanilla, caramel, and light alcohol. Medium bodied with a smooth texture and light, dry finish. Flavor is fairly sweet and fruity all the through with a faint bitterness. Smoothes out nicely as it warms.

strowlands8 (170) - Ontario, CANADA - APR 7, 2010
Pours dark amber with a huge white head that lasts for ever, and leaves tons of lacing. Tons of malt, toffee, biscuit, caramel with a touch of alcohol warming in the aftertaste. Might have benefited with some aging , but there is a nice flavour and it goes down real smooth.

SorenE (168) - , NEW ZEALAND - AUG 3, 2009
clear red amber. nice aroma of phenols, bread, malt and also a slight hint of oranges. I think there’s some hot alcohols as well though, kinda giving me a head ache. The flavors are good but the palate is quite thin and the alcohol is to dominant. I do quite like it though.
