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.

Pour is a hazy gold with a huge white head. Aroma is a flowery and parfumy yeast ester. Flavor is clover honey with a nice green herbal hop. Finish is bitter on the back end and no alcohol is felt. A mix between a saison, triple and golden strong. Not a cheap bottle of beer but well worth to try for those that like this style.

750 bottle. Labeled as dry hopped. Light hops. Initially the aroma thought this might be similar to a saison but it is more mild. Dry, a little herbal. Does not taste or smell of alcohol but this sneaks up later. Very well carbonated.

The label on this one says dry hopping. The labels are more than a little confusing. They have another beer whose style is a grand cru, while this one that is called a grand cru the style is strong ale. The aromas and flavors on this are yeasty and spicy. Very nice balance between bitter, sweet and carbonation. Outstanding body and carbonation with a very good finish. Great beer!
