Description
Brasserie du Bocq was set up in 1858 by Martin Belot. The Brewery was incorporated into a limited company in 1949. Independent of any Belgian or foreign brewer, it still beholds its own family nature. Located in the heart of the Condroz, wonderful tourist region, this dynamic company still uses the traditional manufacturing process of top-fermentation beers with secondary fermentation in the bottle.
In 1983, Brasserie du Bocq abandons the exploitation of Central Brasserie Marbaix -La-Tour, to bring all the beer production back to Purnode where the production tools have been radically modernized on the basis of equity. Today in Purnode, although the Belot family has sold its assets to the Keersmaekers family who has been producing the Corsendonk at the Brasserie du Bocq for over 30 years, and even though the brewery has far exceeded its regional framework, nothing has changed and the values of the company remain intact.

Pours pink/mauve with a slightly pink-tinger small head.Smells like berry toothpaste, cherry, marzipan, almond.Very sweet-tasting, which almost hides the hot booze. More marizpan, raspberries. Cloying.

Cette Gauloise blonde est une Belge très moyenne qui n'est pas très affriolante. Avec une petite acidité et un équilibre perfectible, le style connait bien mieux. Le visuel est sur un blond doré limpide avec une fine effervescence soutenue et une mousse blanche et crémeuse de 2 cm. Le nez est simple mais pas déplaisant sur le blé, une touche de coriandre et du citron. En bouche les déséquilibres se font ressentir. De l'acidité apparaît dès l'attaque avec des arômes peu attrayants et un alcool à 6,3 qui dénote quelque peu. L'ensemble est homogène avec une corpulence limitée, même si l'arrière bous est un peu plus acide. Le final est sans grand intérêt mais relativement long. Sans intérêt.
