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.

Hazy pale to medium golden colour, good frothy white head, good retention and lacing. Malty toasted aroma, yeast, grain, dried fruits, vanilla, honey, lemon grass. Taste medium sweet and bitter, bit alcoholic, bit spicy. Medium body, creamy texture, average carbonation, aftertaste light bitter, spicy, fruity sweet touch at the end. Overall a good strong ale, elegant, really good.

Bottle. Clear golden body with a light haze and a white head. Lively carbonation. Faint lacing. Aroma of straw, salted bread and dried orange peel. Flavour of gently warming spice, green banana and dried grass. Medium body with a frothy mouthfeel. Very fizzy. A classy, peppery beer.

Gold with a foamy white head that fades away. Aroma of bubblegum, pears, yeasty white bread. Taste is mildly sweet with a warming and boozy finish that goes a touch metallic. Medium to full bodied, moderate carbonation. Good.

Bottle from Belgiuminabox. Pours a hazy light golden colour with a huge throthy pure white head. Aromas of ripe stoney fruits, apricot, banana, peaches, floral, candy, spice, pepper, pine, yeast and a hint of bread. Taste has all the notes in the aroma with more of the fruity, floral and peppery notes. Slightly hoppy bitterness. Fairly lively carbonation on the palate. Light to medium bodied with a long fruity, spicy, peppery, hoppy and dry finish. Well balanced. Excellent beer!
