COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTION
Cervoise fabriquée à base de malts d'orge et de blé. La Fourche du Diable est, à deux dents qui servait à arracher les racines de gentiane. De cet instrument agraire, elle a pris le nom, et de la gentiane, elle nous fait partager un soupçon de ses puissants arômes. Fourquet d'or au concours national des brasseurs de Saint Nicolas de Port en 2002.

Une petite bouteille au Saint-Bock. Un mince anneau de mousse blanche sur un liquide doré. Le nez est simple acide et fruité. La bouche est un mélange de caramel et de fruit. C’est malheureusement mince. Le profil me fait penser à une bière avec du seigle, mais il n’en a pas. Une bière ordinaire.

JorisPPattyn (7300) - Antwerpen, BELGIUM - DEC 1, 2012
Fleeting whitish head over clear metallic, pale-copper beer. Smoked, but also some raw vegetable tubers, as cabbage, kohlrabi or beets - no doubt the gentiana; earthy-vegetable. Sweetish-malty, again the gentian suggesting smoked. The veggie/tuber aroma penentrates into every new sip, even though the taste doesn’t really carry it. Bit strawlike, drier finish. Very spritzy, near fizzy, despite no visual proof hereof. Light body, feels oversaturated. Interesting, but rather no repeat, thanks. Leave the gentianaroot for Italian liqueurs, maybe? Thanks to Stef!

ChrisOs Marvellous Pre GBBF Mega Tasting. Light amber coloured beer, little white head. Dry palate. Dry pale malt. Some dried fruits but overall dry and papery. Don’t think I’ve had a worse French micro beer. Very disappointing.

Leighton (6921) - London, ENGLAND - SEP 1, 2012
Bottle at Chriso’s Pre-GBBF Shindig. Pours bright gold with some sediment and a fine, white foam head. Some chili and smoke in the nose. Light sweet flavor, mild caramel, peppery smoke, faint dry leaves. Light in body with prickly carbonation. Lightly sweet to finish with a bit of caramel, toasty sugars and capsicum (without the heat). Interesting one.

Bottle at Chris O’s pre-GBBF shindig 2012. Not much nose, bit of citrus I suppose. Baked apple and citrus flavour. Unenthusiastic about this one.
