Brasserie OC'Ale
Microbrewery in Bressols (Tarn-et-Garonne), Occitanie, France 🇫🇷
Established in 1998
Grégory Robert, an engineer by training, converted to the brewing profession in 2011. After being trained for 6 years by his predecessor, he took over the brewery in 2018.
Grégory made his project a reality. He wanted to both work in continuity, but also to bring new ideas by developing in particular a new range of beers in 33cl. He has equipped himself with new machines that allow him to cap the bottles.
Since 2019 the brewery is in Bressols where he continues to perpetuate this culinary heritage of Tarn-et-Garonne, while adapting certain original recipes to consumer demands. He wants to develop the range soon with new products...

hazy golden color. Funky, earthy, nose with hints of leather. Cobwebs, very funky nose. Melons and fruit. Lots of funk, with caramel, cobwebs, hay, very dry, good carbonation, but a lot of things going on I can’t explain. Still, well balanced and idiosyncratic. Peppery and musty. Dry finish.

Bottled. An unclear red-amber beer with a huge light tan head. The aroma has notes of citrus, yeast, and some malt. The flavor is sweet with notes of malt, caramel, yeast, and nuts, leading to a dry alcoholic finish. Thanks yespr for sharing.

50 cL bottle. Pours cloudy dark amber with a small tan head. Aroma is mild fruit and light milky with a vague citric note. Smooth malty, caramelish and light citric flavoured. Bitter and citric flavoured into a dry and mild phenolic finish. Lasting roasted malty impression.

Bottled. An unclear light golden beer - more like a blanche than a blonde, with a huge white head. The aroma has notes of sweet malt, wheat, and citrus. The flavor is sweet with ntoes of wheat and citrus, leading to a dry wheaty finish.

Bottle from La Cave a Bulles. BB Sep 2010. Pours a dark brown with a fizzy tan head. Aroma is spritely cola. Perhaps with a touch of prune. Near medium body with strongish carbonation. Perhaps a hint of citrus or sour malt. Finishes smooth and lightly tart.

Bottled. Cloudy pale yellow, rich airy head. Lactic citric nose. Dryish and tart, spritzy and light like a Berliner Weisse. Fresh and vital with notes of winegum and grass. Mild vanilla malt and long citric finish. Very refreshing - I love this brewery!
