Golden orange top fermenting beer, inspired by English ESBs (Extra Special Bitter) – but weighing in only at 5 to 5.2 % alcohol by volume. This beer has become our staple brew, and accounts for most of our production. It has a crisp, dry bitterness padded by fruity notes typical of top fermentation, livened up by the citrusy edge from the hop varieties used. A beer to enjoy whenever you want, anywhere you want, and a great match to lasagna, Indian food or roast beef. It has won awards in Switzerland and Germany in 2005 and 2006.

Bitterness level is 27 IBUs (International bitterness units).Hop varieties : Cascade, Centennial, Chinook or Nugget. Malts : Pale Ale, Munich and Crystal.

Cloudy golden color with creamy head. Very nice hoppy aroma, fresh, fruity. Smooth mouthfeel; toffee flavor, quite dry, with very good hopping: strong bitterness, strong resins, some fruits, and some manure character; maybe some spicy yeast in the final.
Generally I prefer beers with a little sweetness and more floral, but this one is very good too.

Hazy deep blond color. Delicate fruity aroma. Dry mouthfeel, smooth body, good caramel and malt flavor, perfect hop balance.

2011-07-19, bottle from Au Grain d’Orge, Crissier, bb 2012-04, 7-4-7-4-15=37
Golden color; medium sized head. Nice hop aroma, a bit sweaty, with interesting biscuity notes from the malt. The body is lean, the mouthfeel is quite dry; good dry toffee flavor with light biscuity notes and very light chamomile; it has a quite strong bitterness, with some hop resins, hop oils, light fruity touch. Bold and long final.
Good thirst quencher.

2010-01-05, bottle from La Ferme, Yverdon, 7-5-7-4-15=38
Hazy amber color. The aroma is breadish, then malty, and not as fruity as the previous bottle, actually the fruity trace is extremely light. Strong toffee and caramel flavor, dry but deep; strong bitterness, with dry resins and a lot of hop oils. Bold and refreshing.

2009-12-24, bottle from Le Tonneau Verre, Yverdon, 7-4-7-4-15=37
Beautiful light amber color; medium head. The delicate aroma of refined sugar and passion fruit lets me think that there is some Nelson Sauvin hop, here. Toffee and caramel flavor, dry mouthfeel, lean body; strong bitterness, with some resins too; the final shows just a very light hop fruitiness and more caramel. Refreshing, straight, very pleasant.
