A high fermentation beer, Jenlain Ambrée is one of the first specialty beers in France and is been brewed since 1922. It owes its success to its inimitable taste stronger than all fashions. Its copper color, its aromas of cooked fruit and caramel make it a beer widely recognized for tasting but also a perfect ally for cooking.

Sample at the Eurostash II tasting on 12/12/09: Canned version. Pours a slightly hazed orange-gold color with a medium off-white head that recedes steadily. Stringy lacing on the glass. Aroma of pale malt and floral hops. Medium body with flavors of sweet fruit, malt and mild hops. The finish is bready malt with a fruity aftertaste. Average overall.

750 ml bottle. Appearance was light brown, slightly cloudy, big tan head with only slight lacing. Smell was sweet caramel and butterscotch. Hint of vanilla, apples and nutmeg. Taste started sweet and stayed that way, good malt content, but could use more balance. Nice enough, nothing too complex, but not bad at all.

0.75 l bottle from beershop.hr. It poured clear darker orange with medium sized head that went down pretty fast. Slightly alcoholic and malty aroma, weak and simple aroma. Flavor is malty, somewhat alcoholic as well, sweetish. Relatively thin bodied, without something that would stand out here. Some earthy and honey sweet finish. Slightly alcoholic which also makes finish a bit bitter. Reminds of some better malt liquor and not so good as some supermarket BDG I had some time ago. OK and easily drinkable beer when you consider it all, but misses character being so boring!

25.4oz bottle-pours a foamy off white head that dissipates to patchy and amber color. Aroma is sweet light malt, green apple. Taste is sweet light malt, sugary, green apple, champagney, some spice hops, yeast. Lots of effervescence. Thanks to Joe-jwc215 for picking this out.

750 ml bottle in Paris, 2006. Decent amber color, fast fading head. Good amber malt aroma, slightly roasted and dry. A bit nutty. Taste is very dry, hoppy, with really good roasted malt taste. A great amber flavor. Grassy, earthy. A dry finish that last quite a long time. Really good. Medium body and carbonation. Interesting.
