COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTION
Née en 1919, la recette de la Géante est relancée et mise au goût du jour par la brasserie Grain d’Orge. Il s’agit d’une bière douce très légèrement amère mêlant des houblons des Flandres, du malt d’orge de printemps et du blé de Beauce brassés dans une eau naturellement riche en oligo-éléments. Elle titre 7,4 ° d’alcool, est vendue en bouteille verre 1 litre avec marquage incrusté et bouchon mécanique en céramique. En hommage à l’histoire de la brasserie, la Géante porte sur le col le nom des fondateurs de la Brasserie Grain d’orge en 1898 : Desruelle-Theetten

Countbeer (2852) - Best of Eindhoven ohne Brauhaus, NETHERLANDS - OCT 13, 2012
Bottle: Small medium off white head on top of a clear yellow to orange colored beer. Smell tangerine, yeast, (sharper) grains, hints of marzepin, urine and light glue. Taste malts, fruit, orange, tangerine, marzepine, light light grainy sour tint, some hay. Grassy hayish malts in the aftertaste. Low carbo, creamy mouthfeel, medium body and a creamy texture.

stevoj (915) - Ramstein-Miesenbach, GERMANY - OCT 7, 2012
Nice orange/copper color with one finger off-white creamy head. Poured into snifter. Active fine carbonation keeps the head going. Taste is biting, with cidery overtones,smell also hints at apples/cider. Inital taste was off-putting, but getting used to the nuances as it warms and I sip. Interesting beer.

Clear, blond body with an off-white head. Quite weak aroma of yeast, hops. Moderately bitter, lightly sweet flavour: also quite weak. Lacks some character.

Big thanks to luttonm for bringing this one back from France. Pours a bright, transparent orange. Fairly weak aroma, and the flavor comes through as, yeasty, with gentle hops - much like a good saison. Nice and pungent / potent, though - I liked this one quite a bit.
