Description
Lionel gave birth to Alphand beer from his double passion for the mountains and for beer. Located in Vallouise, in the heart of the Hautes Alpes, in a high mountain setting at the foot of the Massif de Ecrins, the Alphand Brewery benefits from water of optimal quality and purity. It offers everyone the opportunity to share quality, authentic and healthy beer.

Everyone who works today to create this original, unmistakably tasting beer brewed with native spring water wants to perpetuate the pioneering spirit of the early mountaineers. Thus the Alphand Brewery, keen to minimize the impact of its production on the magnificent sites of the Alps, uses as a priority recyclable or biodegradable materials.

Bottle, 75cl. A semi-see through dark brown beer with a minimal-sized light beige head. The aroma is lighlty sourish, with roasted malts, and some citrusy hoppyness. Sour in the mouth too, lightly roasted and with some dried fruits. Some bitterness towards the end. Medium to full body. A bit hard on the carbonation. Not a favorite in any way, too unclean. 120218

Bottle, 5%. Mild blond aroma. Cloudy yellow colour. Small stable white head. The flavour is nicely grainy, perhaps a little watery, but suits the beer well enough. Good flavour of real grain.
