Brasserie de la Côte Reviews

caribou43	3.7 Brasserie de la Côte Ange et Démon I have found and purchased this bottle, the last year, at the comptoir that they went bankroupt. I have tasted and enjoying this bottle, the last year, october 2018, at Prélaz, Lausanne. This beer is better than the blanche and blonde version, acceptable IPA, with a copper/brown body and troubled, white foam, average carbonation. Saturday, October 19, 2019
Lore	3.7 Brasserie de la Côte La Vulcan Name: Volcano; ABV:8.2; .33 bottle; hazy amber colour, minimal off white head, which disappears promptly leaving back only some very minimal lacing (or rather nothing); aroma of honeycomb toffee, dried fruits (berries, raisins and apricot, as well), some caramel, biscuits and floral (honey notes); taste of malty sweetness with honey notes, dried apricot, grape-seeds/juice/etc like and earthy-yeasty notes, as well as decent hoppyness; good one!

CH-303	2.9 Brasserie de la Côte Bise Noire du Léman Appearance: Very dark brown. Some dark tan head. Aroma: Dark malt, forest. Taste: Dark malt, roasted, some dark chocolate. Slightly acidic. Strange one. Bought: MrBeer.ch, 330 ml, CHF 5.95 Info: 6/7-2018, BB: 16/9-2018 Tuesday, July 10, 2018
Bov	3.6 Brasserie de la Côte Collab 1 @FestYmalt - cloudy amber-orange beer with a dark beige foam left; aroma of oranges and caramel; light bready; full-bodied, very sweet, lively palate; estery finish of prunes, oranges and alcohol Thursday, October 12, 2017
Bov	3.4 Brasserie de la Côte Collab 2 @FestYmalt - quite clear blond-bronze beer with a white foam left; light fruity and caramelish aroma; subtle carbonation, a good malt backbone, some sweet maltiness, decently bitter; light residual sugars in a fruity and yeasty finish Thursday, October 12, 2017
caribou43	3.7 Brasserie de la Côte La Vulcan I bought this bottle at la ferme du terroir. I drank it tonight at home. In my opinion, it is a correct beer, original for the style. The body is brown/orange, regular carbonation, a little bit sparkling, thin foam. The taste is a bit crazy, for example, there is a sensation to drink gun powder at the end. Overall, the taste is a bit sour, typical from this brewery, brown yeast, pepper side, apricot, plum, malt, some hop, some alcohol at the end, winning a good taste at the end of the bottle, good experience.

caribou43	3 Brasserie de la Côte L'écume du Léman I bought this bottle at the produit du terroir. I drank it at home during this hot day. This beer is special, you have some contrast with the taste. When you pour the beer you don’t have foam, the body is yellow-orange and troubled. You can smell the malt and there is a side of roggen beer, there is a note of plum and apricot, the final note is burnt and it is sour and watery, presence of piece of yeast. I drank this beer again at the Tulip party, at Morges. I could say that I was again a disappointed about this beer. The taste is unbalanced, tart and sour, lack of aromas, not enough coriander and orange peel, tasteof gases and copper at the final, not a success. Wednesday, August 17, 2016
caribou43	3.2 Brasserie de la Côte la Blonde I bought this beer at les produits du terroir, Lausanne. It is not a typical lager that we could expect. It is an interesting beer, even though the sourness is strong at the tongue and for the final note. There are notes of malt, plum or grape, some hop and yeast. It is the kind of beer that you drink sometimes, the amber is better, in my point of view. Wednesday, August 3, 2016
caribou43	3.3 Brasserie de la Côte l'Ambrée I bought this bottle at the produits du terroir, Lausanne. In my opinion, it is a regular beer. The body is red and brown, troubled. The carbonation is low, the taste is watery, nice touch of fruit or apricot, caramel, malt, few hop, white and thin foam. I drank it at Bonfol, a pity that the weather was sad. Sunday, June 19, 2016
hub66	2.7 Brasserie de la Côte Ange et Démon couleur orange trouble; mousse blanche; arômes et goût maltés, un peu fruités et comme madérés (!); l'alcool se fait un peu trop sentir ---Rated via Beer Buddy for iPhone Saturday, January 30, 2016
Bov	3.4 Brasserie de la Côte Ange et Démon from Apothibières - cloudy dark amber-orange beer under a long lasting creamy beige foam; aroma of ripe fruits (mango, oranges), marzipan, tomato and spices; full-bodied, juicy palate and fairly sweet, quite sticky, long ripe fruity finish (mandarins, mango), some spiciness and residual sugars Sunday, December 13, 2015
weark	3.3 Brasserie de la Côte la Tonka Bouteille achetée à la brasserie - De couleur noir avec une imposante mousse beige qui disparaît assez vite pour laisser une fine pelicule beige - Au nez des arômes de café, de réglisse, d’épices, une pointe d’alcool - En bouche toujours beaucoup de réglisse, de café, du chocolat, de la vanille des épices - Corp moyen, amertume légère/moyenne, carbonation pétillante, finale réglisse et chocolat - intéressante beaucoup de réglisse mais bien équilibrée Wednesday, September 30, 2015
Gandalf39	3 Brasserie de la Côte l'Ambrée Une ambrée malté et caramélisé. simple et rustique. Rien de particulier à noter. Friday, April 24, 2015
fiulijn	3 Brasserie de la Côte El Diablo Bottle courtesy of Philippe (Bov) Cloudy dark blond color, small head. Light aroma,maybe some pepper. Smooth mouthfeel, the beer flavor is nothing special, the hot character of the chili is not too strong, hence it blends well. Drinkable. Tuesday, March 24, 2015
fiulijn	2.3 Brasserie de la Côte l'Ambrée Bottle courtesy of Philippe (Bov), bb 6-11-15 Cloudy amber color; frothy head. The first smell is yeast. I’m sure this beer went through the unwanted fermentation in the bottle, which explains the dry mouthfeel, the high carbonation, the yeast presence, and the nasty vegetable and mint flavor. Unpleasant beer, out of control; needs more quality control. Tuesday, March 24, 2015
Bov	3.5 Brasserie de la Côte la Mousse du Père Noël from the brewery’s online shop - pours a murky dark brown beer with a little persistent beige foam; earthy nose with aroma of cacao and coffee on top of some hints of tangerines, nutmeg and anise; a good malt backbone, creamy palate, some light sourness and a gentle sweetness; lingering notes of vanilla, pears and spices in a long finish - well-crafted and pretty balanced Sunday, December 14, 2014
weark	3.6 Brasserie de la Côte El Diablo Bottle - Cloudy pale amber color with a decent white, fast disappearing and no lacing - Aroma light honey, malty, vegetable - Flavor is malty, chillipepper, clean - nedium body, light bitterness, good carbonation, sweet and hot, sweet malty chillipepper finish - Well done, i like it, the chillipepper is not too present, well balanced Friday, December 5, 2014
Bov	3.7 Brasserie de la Côte El Diablo from Apothibières - pours a murky copper-orange beer with a little yet long lasting foam left; light estery and fruity aroma with a fair presence of chilipeppers; a fair carbonation and a solid malt backbone, a gentle sharpness takes the control over the malt sweetness, increases and lasts quite long in a dry, peppery and fruity finish - keeps a good balance; a good one Saturday, October 18, 2014
Bov	2.6 Brasserie de la Côte l'Ambrée from Apothibières - pours a hazy copper-amber beer under a persistent beige foam; light earthy with notes of caramel; a good malt backbone, overcarbonated; shy bitterness and some sweetness; quite dry earthy and caramelish finish - modest Thursday, October 16, 2014
Bov	3.2 Brasserie de la Côte la Blonde from Apothibières - murky blond beer under a long lasting and creamy white foam; nice lacework; hint of wort, raisins and flowers; solidly carbonated, medium-bodied, light chewy palate and mainly sweet; no bitterness; the aftertaste is perfumy with a lingering hint of sourness and more fruity tones (grapes come to mind again) - a less shyly nose would help to "drink sense" Thursday, October 16, 2014
eduardovl	3.6 Brasserie de la Côte Bise Noire du Léman 330ml bottle served in a chalice glass. A: Pours a dark brown color forming very small beige head which dissipates quite quickly leaving almost no lacings S: Most probably the best part of this brew. Strong dark chocolate and roasted malts. Notes of licorice, dark fruits (mainly plums), caramel. Light notes of coffee T: Sweet and roasted upfront. Strong notes of dark chocolate, caramel, caramel malts, roasted malts, wood. A bit too sweet in the mouth. Good bitterness, mainly roastiness bitterness M: Heavy creamy and a bit molasses body. Low carbonation. Chocolaty aftertaste O: Good drinkability. Great beer but a little bit too sweet [ BA Review @ 6/2/2013 ] Tuesday, October 14, 2014

brunnsbe	3.7 Brasserie de la Côte la Tonka Interesting brewery, went there with a couple of friends and had a chat with the brewmaster.

fiulijn	3.3 Brasserie de la Côte la Tonka Bottle from Pibar, Lausanne Dark brown color, near black, with generous compact head. Nice aroma of roasted malt, some bread, anise. Dry but smooth mouthfeel; roasted malt flavor, a bit too much bread and the spice profile is leaning too much on the anise; the liquorice is also rather evident; correct bitterness.
