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.

Pale golden colour, white head. Aroma of soap and citrus. Citrus flavour, soap, light sweet, yeast, hint of bitterness. Quite thin. Soapy finish, citrus and malts.

I don’t really get the spelt hype. This beer tastes just like a grainy and slightly herbal blond beer. Not very special.

25 cl. bottle @ home. Purchased @ Willems. BBF end 2013. Clear light golden, creamy white head. Smells basically exactly like Kidibul (non-BA champagne-like soda drink for kids, don’t ask, it’s a real thing in Belgium & it is quite yummy), I am not going to state anything else because it is disturbingly identical. It doesn’t taste like Kidibul however or at least it is too different. Taste is sweet, sugar, watered down cava, green apples soft drink, sweet grains, spritzy, mineral heavy sparkling water, cava-like alcohol in the finish. Very high carb. bit watery. Very weird – what is this? Maybe people who like cava will like this more? Very different but not in a good way.

25cl bottle bought @ 8ième fête de la bière namuroise. BB end/2014. Dorée paille, col épais blanc. Arôme est bien d’épeautre sur une note fruitée rappelant le citron vert bien frais. Palais est léger et bien fruité, pour moi, un côté citronné voire de pelure orangée se dégage et agrémente ce profile en général plus sec venant de l’épeautre. Il en reste malgré tout une bière très légère mais agréable. En somme, cette bière me plaît nettement plus que ma mémoire me le dise sur la version bio. Donc à revisiter, je trouve un style étant proche d’une blanche belge, le tout restant frais et léger avec ce profile épeautre qui ne se veut pas trop en avant.

Bottle @ DutchDrebus, thanks for sharing. Yellow / light green color (WTF : ), no head. Smell apple not much more. Weird taste, no details to distinguish. Low carbo and body. Very weird beer, not nice.

Syrlig som ett friskt äpple eller en torr cider, aprikos, jästig. Lätt kropp, dricks riktigt kall. Ett perfekt sommaröl som vinner matchen mot Hoegarden.

A blonde ale with a thin white head. In aroma, light lactic wheat, very nice and herbaceous, chalky notes. In mouth, a nice saison like beer with sweet malt, coriander, oily, smooth, some orange pulp, bubbly mouthfeel. Bottle at Mondiale 2011, June 11 2011.
