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.

250ml bottle. A spelt beer with a moderate level of haze to a yellow body under a huge, soapy foam, rapidly reduced to a filmy layer. The aroma comes as a mix of grain and fruits. Spicy hops, wheat, cheese and bittersweet yeast are all featured items of the moderate flavour. Foamy mouthfeel (11.07.2007).

Bottle. (25cl) It pours a yellow-ish, very sparkling body, topped by a huge, foamy, lasting white head. The aroma is fruity, with some spices and wheat, that being the spelt off course, and some yeast. A weak hint of banana is also present. The yeast is more prominent in the mouth, putting the cereal more in the background. It is fruity and slightly spices as well. I find the carbonation a little heavy, and the body is maybe a bit thin, and quite dusty. It finishes a bit in a hurry, with fruityness, citrus, banana and some spicyness. It is a refreshing beer, but a bit too carbonated. (070715)

Foam rises out of the bottle as soon as it is opened. Huge white head over hazy pale yellow body. Thin, sharp, spicy aroma of barnyard and eggs. Taste is thin, chalky spice with a slight note of vomit. (Hmmm, is this infected? Should re-rate.) Bitterish, empty aftertaste. Intense, lingering taste of metal. This really is no bloody good. (0.25l bottle.)

250 ml bottle, courtesy of Cardinal pub, Stavanger. Also available in Norway at Vinmonopolet. ABV is 5%. This spelt beer is organic (French: "biologique")., and has had a secondary fermentation in the bottle. Very pale blonde colour, hazy. Large and fluffy white head. Yeasty, spicy (cloves a.o.) and citrussy aroma, nice. Spritzy mouthfeel. The flavour is wheaty, fairly dry, notes of citrus and pepper. Not very different from their buckwheat beer "Sara". Joseph is a decent beer, but not worth the ridiculously high price in Norway.

Bottle, 5.4%. Gusher. Very cloudy orange colour. Very big, stable white head. The flavour is like a good naturtrüby blond with a hint of sourness which balances well. Some yeast flavour.

Bottled. Pale golden, rich head. Buttery flowery nose. Sweet with buttery malt and some red berries. Medium bodied with spritzy, rounded mouthfeel. Low bitterness. Fairly discrete, but well balanced and with a pleasant low key attitude.

Bottle Clear blond body. Orange, honey, hoppy, grassy, winey (white) aroma. Quite nice flavour. Moderately bitter, lightly sweet. Not overwhelming, but a very well created beer. A beer that I could drink all day. A little bit soapy though.

An unclear orange beer with a thin white head. The aroma si ssweet spicy with notes of cinnamon and yeast, which also gives it a slight dusty impression. The flavor is weirdly spicy combined with notes of oranges and yeast.
