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.

Pours cloudy golden, with a medium white head, lasting lacing. Smells of spice, banana, pineapple, bubblegum, and caramel. Medium-light body, smooth. Flavors of clove, spice, biscuit, citrus, with some grassy notes. Well balanced and drinkable. Some yeast and hop notes similar to Skinny Dip.

house.. . pours a medium gold with some haze. has a good head, some nice lacing qualities. has something to it, a weird fun delicious bitterness, like brett on a carnival ride... i want to write good things but its just to good. fuck it. is very orval like, just a bit more user friendly.. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AtEZMzWS68Q .. give this to everyone on earth, and orval will beat bud light in global sales.. . hi, a shorter version of hello. .. . lacing is a medium porn producer white out.. . great light fulfilling mouthfeel.. . Franka Potente is such a fuckin hotty! .. . this is a very well made beer, it, as the label says, it is a tip of the hat to orval, but it is done in such a people friendly, refined and non pretentious way, like orval but not trying to invade on it. i hope people give this a chance, its dreamy! .. people can’t fly, but why not!!!! try this brew, its one of new belgiums best!.. i don’t give a shit if you can see the seam..

Golden pour with white head. Nose of spicy flowers and grain malts. Crisp, clean mouthfeel with flavors of melon, flowers and malts and finishes with a nice spicy note.

Pour is a pale gold with a fizzy white head. Aroma is floral and very close to a herbal tea. Flavor is a little bit mango and a little bit honeydew. It is very easy to drink with not much aftertaste. This is something good but not great as it gets a bit thin toward the end.

Bottle: Hazy light golden with a white film of head. Nice bright aroma with soft subtle spices- cumin, coriander (almost curry like) with a soft Belgian pale malt presence and subtle dry phenols. Creamy light fluffy body. Great dry flavor- some coriander, cumin, very dry with a touch of leather in there. I can drink this all day!

Poured a light yellow color with small head. Aroma of funk, pineapple, flowers. Dry finish. Very weird funkyness to this. Wasn’t a big fan. Just ok.

(draft). Gold color with light cloudiness. Medium white head. Light clove aroma. Light hoppy fruit flavor (pineapple). Avg duration. Slightly astringent finish. Slick texture. Moderate carbonation. Good lacing.

Pours a pretty gold with a thin white head and some lacing. Has a floral aroma that includes a distinct note of jasmine, with some breadiness underneath as well as some citrus and spice. Unfortunately, the taste wasn’t quite as good as the smell, with just a soft floralness with bitter undertones.
