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.

Pours amber from the bottle. A frothy head settles to a stable, creamy layer. Aroma is quite malty — full of caramel, honey and a touch floral. Taste is okay but less interesting, sweet up front with a somewhat lackluster, brittle, mildly bitter finish. Body is medium, carbonation is soft. Decent.

Clear briljant medium amber colour, small frothy off-white head, half-way lasting, light lacing. Aroma toasted malts, caramel, raisins. Smooth taste, medium sweet and slightly bitter, malty, toffee, bit nutty. Mild sweetbitter aftertaste, abrupt finish, medium body, creamy texture, average carbonation. Smooth and tasty but lacks a bit character.

Flasche („Ch’ti Ambrée“, 33 cl) von Jenny Lou’s, Peking. - Kupferrot, klar. - In der Nase breite, etwas herbe Toastmalzsüße mit leicht fauligen, etwas abgestandenen Anklängen. - Antrunk breit toastmalzig-süß mit Sahnebonbons und zarter süßlicher obergäriger Fruchtnote. Schwache, zart ranzige Herbe mit ein wenig Orangenschale. Recht schlank, erfreulicherweise nicht so stark karbonisiert wie viele Belgier. Im Abgang nur dezente kräuterartige Hopfenherbe mit leicht muffig-ranzigem Stich. - Recht ordentliches, ausgewogenes Brune, das leider durch billige muffige Noten beeinträchtigt wird (vielleicht Überseetransport-bedingt). Trinkbar.
