Franc Belge (5,2% vol.alc.) is a "Spéciale Belge" type beer, an amber colored ale. With an alcohol level of 5,2 % i, it is a beer with a very good drinkability.

Taste; The lightly coloured malts give the beer a soft malty flavour, with a touch of bitterness at the end derived from the Fuggles hops.

De Ranke Franc Belge, Fläschchen von Jef. - Kupferrot, leicht trüb; üppige Schaumkrone. - In der Nase leise toastiges Malz, obergärige Hefe aber ohne die übliche parfümierte Süße, vielmehr zarte Säure, grundiert von gedämpfter hopfenwürziger Hopfung mit ein wenig Orangenschale. - Antrunk weich nussig-toastmalzig mit charakteristischer, kerniger Hopfung, sehr aromatisch hopfenwürzig und mit der leisen Altersnote, die belgischen Hopfen auszeichnet. Milder rezent, vollmundig. Im Abgang solide grasige und orangenbittere Hopfenbittere. - Außerordentlich automatisches, kernig bitteres und doch rundes, ja elegantes Amber Ale. Großartig!

Bottle drunk after installing Katja Sprint in the Wintergarden. Nice earthy-spicy, bready nose on a hazy amber beer with a substantial head. Very unique deep caramel flavor, this must have some good Kandi sugarz, which are well balanced by super smooth bitterness. Really tasty one!

Ljust bärnstensfärgad klar vätska med tjockt vitt skum. Brödig, fruktig, karamellig arom. Behaglig maltig sötma som vägs upp med en blommig örtig beska. Karamelltonen ligger kvar i bakgrunden. Värmande och len munkänsla.
