Description
Raphaël Mettler and his team have been brewing beer with a passion since 2003, and their enthusiasm is eminently contagious: the Trois Dames beers from Ste-Croix challenge the taste buds and flatter the eye, and that is exactly what makes them original. We believe in making a top-notch product, the reason why we carefully select fresh ingredients.

bottle, thank you very much, Allen! Hazy pale yellow with a mid-sized white head. Aroma of cirtsu fruit, hops and a touch of spice. Light to medium-bodied, malty background with flavours of orange zest and citrus fruit. Slightly hoppy. Hints of spices and herbs, especially coriander and clove. A pleasant lemony sourness is detectable in the background. Very refreshing.

bottle, Herzlichen Dank Allen! Hazy golden yellow with some large floaties, enormous white head. Intensive flowery-fruity hoppy nose. Full-bodied with a solid and sweet mlty base, lots of aromatic and bitter hops on top. The malt body works quite well together with the citrusy and floral hops - bitter sweet caharcter as a result. Hints of tropical fruit are detectable all the time, from start to finish.

Beautiful copper-amber color, medium sized head. The aroma is quite funky, but also sweet, a bit hoppy; light feet. Good body strength; good sweetish malt flavor, with a nice fruitiness, stone fruit jam, followed by some resins, and still a rather strong bitterness; also a pleasant, mild Brett character. Peculiar, still very nice.

Beautiful color, hazy amber, with a good head, persistent. The aroma has both some citrus fruits and some funkyness, cellar and cobwebs. Medium bodied, with a caramel-toffee flavor, won by the very strong hopping, full of citrus oils, all citrus fruits together; light Bretts sourness, and light astringency; resiny, woody; the final is also very good, balanced, yet powerful, long, with even more bitter oranges. Belgian styled Double IPA, excellent.

2012-09-29, bottle from Au Grain d’Orge, Crissier, 6% ABV, bb 12-2013, 7-4-7-4-14=37
Dark brown color, with short head retention. There is a mild but very nice aroma of fruity hops, that cover some dusty roasted malt. Good flavor of roasted malt and caramel, lean body, with a strong and quality hopping, resiny; some more roasted malt in the end. Very good.

Brown color; finally a beer from this brewery with a good head, medium sized and correctly compact. Light chocolate aroma. Good mouthfeel, quite strong body, strong chocolate flavor with roasted malt; good bitterness. Ends with more roasted malt. Quite powerful for this gravity, very good.

Bottle from Au Grain d’Orge, Crissier
Hazy amber color; no head; the head retention is really a problem for Trois Dames. Some aroma of yeast, light hop. Light malt and caramel flavor, with light sweetness, low bitterness, very light hop qualities, and very light liquorice touch. Very simple Ale, disappointing.
