Description
The Brasserie OC’ALE was born in 1998, in Lafrançaise, in Tarn-et-Garonne. Founded by Jackie Courmont, it has gone through the years to enrich itself with new beers over time.

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...

Bottle, from trade with papsoe. A yellowish golden beer, almost clear, topped by a vanishing, minimal white head. Citrusy nose, orange the most evident, with some spices and sourness. Citric, orangey and lemony flavor with bitter orange peel and a little spicyness. Acidic finish. Quite thin body, astringent. It wasn’t a very good beer, might have gone bad. (080413)

Muddy pale blond color. Aroma with some spices and plastic. Sourish flavor, some wheat, spices, yeast, light citrus fruits. Dry. Maybe the sourness is due to an infection. Not good for my taste.
