Atomium Premier Grand Cru, created in 2000 is one of the only 6 grain top fermented golden ales in the world. The combination of barley, spelt, rye, maize, wheat and buckwheat as well as and a specific, typical barm culture give Atomium its incomparable character. The finest malted barley varieties, selected especially for this high-temperature fermentation specialty give the beer its delicate, golden color and leave a pure, dry taste. The zests of oranges from the island of Curaçao and the coriander seeds leave the beer lover with a full-bodied, balanced flavor palate. The clear golden-bronze color and rich creamy head are distinctive characteristics of Atomium beer. It is refermented in the bottle according to the renowned Belgian method.

Bottle from Malt & Vine. Pours hazy light gold with a frothy off-white head. Aromas of cooked light stone fruits. Med body. Flavor is a bit earthy, with arguably coriander, and some yeast/spice. Mostly dry. Finishes definitely more bitter than not, and there’s a persistent earthy/yeast display. Quite nice.

Poured from 12 oz bottle while watching Stephen Strasburg pitch against the White Sox. Aroma is very interesting, somewhere between a Belgian Ale and a Hefeweizen, there’s the hint of banana and clove along with that pronounced Belgian yeast aroma. Appearance is a vibrant amber with a frothy head. Taste is rather carbonated, but I’m getting the banana and clove along with other light-colored fruits, somewhat sour aftertaste. Pretty interesting stuff!

11.2oz grenade bottle. Murky golden color with a big gushing head. Fresh golden wheat aroma. The taste is relatively subdued, with a creamy yeasty flavor taking center stage. Very smooth diminishing aftertaste for a beer of it’s quality and ABV. This is a really nice Belgian beer, worth trying for sure.

Bottled. Golden colour with huge fluffy head. Aroma is grains, flowery hops, some yeasty notes as well as fruits. Flavour is rather fruity with some earth and yeast mixed in. As it gets warmer it gets some sweetness added to the flavour. Alcohol is very hidden in this.

(Bottle 33 cl) Slightly hazy golden - some tiny, floating impurities - and a dense, off-white head. Slightly floral, almost perfumy nose. Medium body with some biscuity accents, sweetish malt and fruit. Very subdued bitterness. Quite drinkable. 290607

Bottled, served in Atomium branded Trappist glass. This has been popping up in better beer bars and stores in my area. Line between beer and foam is jagged, what with streams of bubbles constantly running up the sides. Head shrinks, leaving shape of a baked custard and light lacing, Smell is sweet with bits of coriander. Color is hazy gold, like my old "Aurum" class ring. Taste is a bit drier than the smell, full of bubbles like a dubbel. Crispy malt taste, coriander again, and… lemon basil? That’s my impression. Hints of orange cream, too. Mild sweetness kept in check by respectable noble hops. Center pillow of foam stays there until the very end. Some peppercorn in the finish.
