COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTION
In the little town of Bavay, only a few miles from the border with Belgium, the Theillier family has crafted its fine bière de garde for generations. The charming brewery is built into the Theillier family home, which was constructed in the 1600’s on sturdy Roman foundations. La Bavaisienne is artfully brewed, in very small batches, using a resourceful combination of ancient and modern equipment.

Sample at ÖÖWF 2011. It poured a golden liquid with a white head. Fruity smell and taste with caramel, a bit wineous and complex. Very nice, specially the smell. Easy to drink.

Vignale (915) - Malmö, SWEDEN - MAY 6, 2012
Bärnstensfärgad med smutsvitt lågt skum. Stor ganska söt doft av apelsinblomma, kandissocker och sött mörkt bröd. Riktigt bra balans mellan rejäl alkoholfylld maltstomme med söta karmelltoner, lätt vinösa drag med lite körsbärsvin, tydlig humle med maskrosbeska och körsbärskärnadrag, liten fatkaraktär och ändå lättdrucken. Inga delar sticker ut men otroligt välavvägd.
