Golden Ale with sage, truly bitter with a subtle Bouquet. In the depths of a glass of La Meule lurks a truly amazing fresh, herbal kick that will instantly convince you this one deserves to be put in a class of its own. Intense herbal aroma, soft on the palate. balanced and complex, with a hint of sage. Long herbal (bitter) dry finish.

Bottle. It pours a hazy, yellowish body and a dense, white head. Chunks gather in the bottom of the glass. Lots of sage on the nose, my first though was myrica, and pale malts. Acidic, herbal flavor with some malts. Medium body. Overall, too sweet and too herbal and too sour, obviously not on the right track but far from undrinkable. 100917

Cloudy golden with a small white head. Fruity aroma with a hint of malt and lots of herbs, rather easily identifiable as sage. Dry and slightly tart flavour dominated by sage. Clean and well brewed but a bit heavy on the sage

bottle, thank you Allen! Hazy golden colour, large white head, nice aroma of sage. Again, rather sour start. Malty with intensive sage flavours and some grassy-herbal hops in the finish. The fruity sourness dominates the beer (expiry date 2011).

swing top bottle (330ml). -Trade with Allen (thanks Julian!). Murky dark yellow coloured, medium sized white head that went away slowly, intensive herbal (probably sage) nose. Spicy and watery with that odd dry sage taste. Long lasting sage aftertaste. Interesting but not my type of beer.

Bottle courtesy of and shared with ogivlado who got it in a trade with Allen (thanks!) Poured a murky yellow body witha big thick white head. Herbal assault in the nose. Sage? Possibly though not obviously so, like a mixture of some herbs. The taste is bitter, dominated by the same spice. Reminds me of rosemary here but if they say sage, why not. It’s an interesting herbal beer, not unpleasant but still nothing I’d drink more than.... once a year?
