Description
Nous concocter la meilleure bière! Founded in 1997 by Jérôme Rebetez, who had formerly been trained as an oenologist, this tiny brewery has rapidly become known for making beers that stretch traditional beer style guidelines and use unorthodox ingredients.

A way to brew the beer that it is not my favorite but I am learning to enjoy it, bottle sharing with Fred. The beginning is too sour and dry but after you get perfumed side of oak, nuts, cherry, apricot that it is giving a subtle side of the beer, 20.09.2021, drinking it at Epalinges.

A lovely beverage that I have shared with Mariela and Karina, perfect with a smooth green curry. This version is more fruity than the 2017. You get a perfect side of cherry and red fruits, smooth, dry malt, yeasty, hop, good job!!!!! 15.02.2022, at Epalinges.

Backlog October 2013. Unclear golden orange body under a big, white head. Aroma is fruity with hint of lemon, slightly funky and all over very refreshing. Taste deliver in accordance with expectations from aroma, light and refreshing with some fruity complexity, mild acidity, slightly funky and balanced bitterness. Balanced body with the same refreshing aftertaste. A really nice Saison.

Bottled. POurs very dark w/little head. It was strange, I was expecting a sweeter stouty flavor but instead I got a cherry raspberry type flavor. It was differnt, I guess would have gone well with dessert.

A beer that it is for me a real pleasure to try it, anti ipa or not fashionable but a beer with notes of sage, coriander, spicy and fruity, smooth, malty with a regular note of hop at the final, original, 08.02.2021, drinking it at home, Epalinges, tasting it sometimes and it was all the time a great pleasure for your lips.

Beer tick image

hazy bright orange colour, minimal off-white head; aroma of woody, sour cherry juice, citric, some acetone and acetic acidy notes; taste has the same notes with some unripe fruity notes; really good one (though it is rather a Flemish sour ale than a farmhouse one)
