La Grelotte, bière non filtrée de haute fermentation, est née pour répondre au souhait des consommateurs à la recherche d’une bière chaleureuse pour l’hiver. L’utilisation importante et variée de 4 malts lui offre une robe foncée ainsi qu’une rondeur exceptionnelle. Un houblonnage particulièrement étudié lui confère une saveur consistante et parfumée. Un choix d’épices précis lui donne cette souplesse
et cet arôme qui éveille en vous le souvenir du délicieux bonbon de Noël.

Thank you! Sampled 330 ml. bottle @ Kerstbierfestival Essen 2015. Dark amber red, little mocha bubbles. Nose is like sweet, sticky pungent varnish, overly sweet, syrupy, medicine, herbal & that odd varnish note. Taste is thin, fizzy, industrial, faint varnish, dull spices,… Overly fizzy, causing it to taste like almost nothing ,whatever little I get, I am not particularly enjoying aka the varnish & spices.

(bottle, 33cl) Hazy, reddish brown colour with a loose and tanned foamy head. Belgian yeast character with mildly toasted malt, caramel, fruit-punch and alcohol. Moderately sweet flavour, rather medium bodied with a modest carbonation. Slightly toasted malty taste with yeasty notes, fruit confit and shades of caramel; mildly sweet, slightly vinous fruity finish with notes of alcohol shining through. 13.I.14
