After brewing and fermentation, CH’TI beers are kept for long weeks in storage tanks. In the calm and cool (0°C) environment, the beer matures, develops a finer taste, perfects its aroma and acquires its natural and characteristic sparkles. It is here also that the beer obtains its balance, finesse and gleam. The Ambrée is brewed since 1986.

Aroma of malt, caramel, raisins, some nuts, fruity notes. Flavour is moderate to medium sweet with a light biter finish. Unremarkable.

Bottle from Beers of Europe. Pours a light clouded amber with moderate sized foamy off-white head. Aroma of caramel, honey, plum, earth, light flora. Taste of malt, honey, earthy-wood, mild fruitiness. Near medium bodied with a wetness to it which I think gives a nice contrast to the richer flavours, soft carbonation. I prefer this to the blonde version.

opalescent reddish amber colour, medium sized creamy beige-ish ecru head, which lasts for several minutes; aroma of dried apricot and pear, grainy, some caramel and minimal orange peel notes; taste has the same notes as can be felt in the aroma with some hoppy bitterness; correct one
