The Biolégère is a top fermentation beer with refermentation in the bottle.
Created in 1992, this beer was the answer of our brewery to the increasing demands coming from a large group of potential clients, wanting an organic* beer with character but low in alcohol.
This light and refreshing blond beer combines marvellous aromas, taste of malt and citrus.
The refermentation in the bottle in combination with an “adapted hopping” are resulting into a complex beer with only a small degree of alcohol.
The production is being controlled by Certisys and the beer has the label Biogarantie®.

750 ml bottle into tulip glass, bottled on 5/1/2012. Pours lightly hazy golden straw color with a 2-3 finger fluffy and foamy white head with fantastic retention, that reduces to a nice cap that lingers. Spotty foamy lacing clings on the glass; with a good amount of streaming carbonation. Aromas of lemon zest, pear, apple, orange zest, floral, pepper, clove, grass, wheat, straw, cracker, light funk, and spicy yeast earthiness. Damn nice aromas with good balance, complexity, and strength of yeast, malt, and hop notes. Taste of big lemon zest, pear, apple, orange zest, pepper, clove, floral, grass, wheat, cracker, straw, light funk, and spicy yeast earthiness. Lingering notes of citrus, light fruit, clove, pepper, floral, grass, straw, wheat, cracker, light funk, and yeast earthiness on the finish for a good bit. Damn nice balance and complexity of hop, malt, and yeast ester flavors; with zero cloying flavors present after the finish. High carbonation and light-medium bodied; with a very smooth, crisp, and slightly creamy mouthfeel that is fantastic. Alcohol is invisible at 3.5%, with no warming noticed at all as expected. Overall this is a highly excellent table saison! Great balance and complexity of malt, hop, and yeast ester flavors; extremely smooth and crisp to drink. A highly enjoyable offering.

Bottle as Dupont Avril. Pours cloudy yellow with white head. Nose and taste of light fresh bread, grass, lemon, yeast and sharp grains. Lighter to medium body. Grains are a little sharp on the palate at times. Refreshing.

Bottle from BVS, Brussels. It pours clear yellow with a thick, pillowy white head. The nose is dough, light toast, floral, grass and spice. The taste is dough, spice, floral, metallic, soda water, dry grass and pithy citrus with a very dry finish. Light body and spritzy carbonation. Refreshing and easy drinking. Good low alcohol offering.

Bottle sample at a tasting at kerenmk’s place. Thanks kerenmk. Clear pale golden. Pretty fruity aroma with grainy hints and hints of earth. Flavor has light sweetness, light graininess, some fruitiness and a drier finish, slightly bitter. Light-bodied. Pretty drinkable.
