Commercial Description:
Deep burnished gold with a slight haze, Le Fleur Misseur opens with pineapple, clove and honey notes. Dry-hopping produces a flower leaf aroma supported by tones of fresh bread and honey. Le Fleur finishes dry and slightly herbal. Produced for New Belgium coworkers to celebrate our 15th anniversary, Le Fleur has roots in the earliest days of our history. In 1988 founder Jeff Lebesch sat weary on the side of a Belgian road when a young lad passing by picked a delicate yellow flower and offered it to Jeff. “Le Fleur, Misseur?” Jeff misspelled the boy’s comment in his journal as he accepted the offering. A treasured memory, a beer to treasure. Brewed in honor of the New Belgium’s 15th anniversary. It is a tip of the hat to Orval.

Draught at Falling Rock. Hazy yellow coloured with a huge and creamy white head. Fruity aroma of spices and brett with notes of hops. Fruity flavour of spices, brett and hops. Bretty and hoppy finish.

Cloudy tan colour. Very fruity, slightly funky, yeasty aroma. Bracinginly dry yeastiness, with a hint of tartness. Too yeasty for my preference.

Draft... RBSG ‘08... Clear, light yellow ale with small, creamy, white head. Excellent retention. Acidic, grainy nose. Medium to full-bodied and syrupy with lively carbonation. Well-balanced, mildly tart flavor with a nice hop bite. Lengthy, crisp, mildly sweet finish.

Bottle courtesy of cavie. Pours a hazy amber with a thin white head. Smells of spice, dry malt, perfumy. Tastes dry and spicy with some nice peppery splashes and some hints of sweet citrus on the finish.

Draft at Green Dragon in Portland. Soft peach colored hazy body. Cotton and paper flavor, along with dry apricot skins and a strange staleness throughout. Nose is pale, weak, empty, stale, improves with temperature, thankfully, but I can’t get over the stale apricot skins and notebook paper flavors.

Lightly hazed golden color with a bubbly to foamy near white color. Just a few isles of lace. Floral aromas along with pale malt, light honey, and bits of a dry barn granary. Yeasty malt flavors in the front give way to a citric middle. Light cloves and allspice near the finish. Has a bit of a watery presence at times. Also shows some alcohol. Bits of brett show up here and there, but don’t make much of an impression. Linger is light with just a bit of spice and brett.

Bottle: Pours a hazy orange color with a light head. The nose is zesty with citrus and yeasty esters, some light coriander and orange along with a sweeter, tangy maltiness. The flavor shows off the yeast and malts with a zesty carbonated mouthfeel. A little lacking in the depth department but it has a refreshing aftertaste and a clean and citrusy yeasty note. Orval? Hmm, no.
