Brassée essentiellement à partir d'épeautre, cette bière blanche, intentionnellement nébuleuse suite à une double fermentation haute, refermentée sur lie en bouteille, vous séduira par la subtilité et le fruité de son goût.
Peu alcoolisée (5,4% vol Alc) et d'un arôme délicat, la Joseph enchantera les amateurs les plus exigeants.

Bottle. Unusal beer, it is without a doubt Belgium beer. Nice citrus smell and flavor but subtle and not great.

Pale colored and cloudy, like a witbier should be. Just a hint of citrus in the somewhat spicy aroma. A bit detergent-like. Somehwat tart, lemon flavor, just a bit sharp, but also creamy. Dry in the throat.

Pours like a sparkling wine with straw blond colour and fizzy head. Aroma and flavour have mild grains. Some floral notes and sweet apple too.

One of the first spelt beers in Belgium, a style that should be considered as a variation on witbier. A lot of study seems to have preceded this and since then, quite a number of other breweries have adopted spelt as an optional grain to make beer with. Joseph has a darker colour than a regular witbier, misty, with a tart aroma, doughy, spicy, grassy and floral, and a sourish spelt taste (sharper than wheat sourishness and more ’wild’ in some ways) with subdued fruit, bready malts and grassy hops in the finish. Tasteful thirst-quencher with different character.
