Grand Cru is a speciality beer carefully crafted. This extra-blond amber nectar masterpiece undergoes refermentation in the bottle, resulting in a beer endowed with unforgettable character. The secret lies in the unique combination of the most noble hops and the finest aromatic ingredients. Grand Cru differs from other beers in the range by its absence of spices. Its full, white head is light and frothy, and when poured it creates a subtle lace effect. The very pale colour of Grand Cru lends clarity and brilliance to its body. Grand Cru’s delicate nose is a veritable cascade of hoppy aromas with hints of fruitiness coupled with subtlety and sheer richness. When savoured, the first sip is light and intriguing. The next impression is one of a slight bitterness full of captivating nuances. When it hits the palate, Grand Cru creates a lingering moment of hoppiness, rounded off by an intense yet pleasant bitterness.

Bottle drunk after ordering a huge pile of air ducting material. Almost clear gold, big delicate fine head, nose almost like champagne: earthy-hop dry, but with grain and caramel notes. Very high fine bubbly carbonation, touch of caramel sweetness, medium body with long-lasting pleasant earthy + citrusy bitterness. 5 for mouthfeel for that fine-champagne carbonation!

Bottle from Dranken Vandewoude, Veurne, Belgium. A golden/yellow coloured pour with a medium white head on top. Sweet, yeasty, orange, lemon, spice taste/aroma. A complex Belgian ale, really good stuff.

My 11.2 oz bottle was found at the Santa Fe Total Wine a few months past. The label seems to indicate a bottling date in August of 2017. The glass of choice tonight is the Teku and after pouring I see a clear amber-gold body topped by a hefty head of snow white foam. The scent is yellow fruit, grain and a small spiciness. I take a drink. It’s all right, as good a pale ale as I can recall. I like the density right off. And I taste ripe apricots, white bread, sweet nectarines, cloves, some hoppiness and a hard candy sweetness. Fairly dry. I’ve liked other offerings from St. Feuillien considerably, this beer only continues that.
