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.

Clear amber body with an off-white fizzy head. Light malty aroma - warming and well balanced. Moderately sweet, moderately bitter flavour. Drinks easily and is very well balenced.

Pours honey coloured with gentle bubbles and a decent head, though this drops away quite quickly. Nose of toffee and biscuits with a delicate apple note. Taste of toffee and biscuits and it finishes with a hazelnut note. Palate has medium body, big tangy/creamy texture and a crisp/tangy finish. Overall, this tastes like a strong bitter.

Unimpressed, was expecting great things from this green 0.75 litre Cork and Caged bottle. Best before 17 Nov 2011 it was drank and reviewed during one of my ’mixed tasting evenings’ during March 2011. The straw coloured beer looked a bit sad in the glasses, no sediment? I am already wearly, no head at all, what have I got here? The smell wasn’t helping the situation, an off malty, injected roguish, sweet aroma seemed to come from my glass. Taste wise it was semi-sweet, yet with a sour, bitter aftertatste arriving too late to save it. The sweetness seeming to kill anything else that might have wanted to get involved. Watery and weak for the style. I’ll not be getting this again.

75 cl bottle. Light amber colour, clear, small creamy white head. Nose of caramel. Aroma of caramel and sugary malts. Maybe some honey, nothing more on the fruity\spicy area, which i feel lacking. Sweet, not excessively, slightly sticky. Medium bodied, low carbonation. Bottle looks just terrible, content is not bad if you look for a smooth and easy to drink sweet beer.

On tap at Au Trappiste, Paris on 18th November 2011. Amber with thinnish white head. Yeasty aroma with sweet fruitiness. Light bodied liquid with a zingy mouthfeel. Rich malt and hoppiness in-mouth, cheesy notes and lemon citric presence. Short to medium fruity citric finish. A pleasant beer.

0,33 l. bottle in to a snifter. Clear, amber colour with a small, white head that lasted. Malty aroma with bread, caramel, herbs, something earthy and used tea-bags (!?) Light bitter malty taste, with bread and earth notes. Medium body with a slick texture. Soft carbonated with an astringent finish with malts and that weird used tea-bag flavour. I liked this one despite the unusual flavours.

Pours with a lot of sediment and has an earthy musk to it. Leave of honey, molasses and somewhere a touch of hay. Interesting beer.
