This biere de garde is flirting with tripel territory. Nice hazy golden color with slick head, aroma of hay, grass, honey and hops. Taste is wonderful, again like a triple, smooth bitterness, mouthfeel is heavy and oily. Perfect!

Bottle sample at a tasting at kerenmk’s place. Thanks avrashi. As L’Angelus Origin’Ale. Clear golden. Aroma of acetone, cooked fruits, apples, apricots and floral spiciness, a bit soap-like. Sweet and spicy flavor, a bit candy-ish. Light to medium-bodied. Pretty weird.

Poured from a 75 cl bottle shared at a private tasting. Pours a clear dark golden amber with a quickly disapating head. Orange peel aroma. Faint citrus in the malt backbone

Bottle courtesy of Deanso. Looks a little like Lucozade but thankfully doesn’t taste like it! Quite highly carbonated amber French ale with a fruity aroma. An interesting bitterness in the flavour with strange aftertaste. A nice enough beer, but might become a little sickly eventually.

75 cl bottle as ”L’Angelus Origin’Ale” @ Gastropub Tuulensuu, BBE 04/2013
It seems that this brewery is actually called ”Brasserie Lepers” and located in Annoeullin
Aroma is rather fruity and strong on apricot. Also some soapy citrus. Flavour has soapy citrus, some apricot, fruit sugar, honey and hints of spices. The sweetness gets stronger towards the end of the glass. Not your typical Bière de Garde, reminds me of De Hemel Marikenbier (which is a Belgian Ale).

Laff herber Beginn, immerhin weich. Spritzig, muffige Hefigkeit. Leicht herb, ok aber eher langweilig. Trockener, sehr herber Abgang. /8/9/9//9

Green cork and caged 75cl bottle obtained from Noel Cuvelier’s Farm Shop in Belgium and shared with friends. The beer was poured into four ’Schossbrau’ pilsner vase shapped glasses, ones I often use for sparkling wines. The beer suited the glasses, a huge snow white head of large bubbles covered half the glasses, below sat a clear golden body which looked very lager/pilsner like. The head left a lot of lacing as the beer levels fell. Very little aroma, some hop esters and grass hints. The taste had a lager/pilsner/helles feel to it, hoppy more than malty. I thought it interesting, different and most enjoyable. Easy to drink (too easy) and glad I bought it, another good French beer.
