Description
La Brasserie des Géants a été créée en 1997 par deux ingénieurs, Pierre et Vinciane Delcoigne, au Castel d’Irchonwelz, datant du douzième siècle. Le premier brassin a été mis en vente en 2000.

La Brasserie Ellezelloise a été fondée par Philippe Gérard en 1993 et produit la gamme Quitine et Hercule. La salle de brassage y permet deux à trois brassins de 15 hl par jour.

Née du mariage en 2006 de la Brasserie des Géants et de la Brasserie Ellezelloise, la Brasserie des Légendes s’inspire du folklore riche de nos régions: la Ducasse d’Ath avec son cortège des Géants et le Sabbat des Sorcières d’Ellezelles.

Puis en 2019, la Brasserie des Légendes reprend les activités de la Distillerie de Biercée.

33cl bottle at 5.9%. Golden, lasting thin white head. Slightly vegetal, grassy aroma, touch of dried apricot. Fine in mouth with dried apricot/peach/hop finish. Goodish fruit. Drinkable. I can’t think that this has anything to do with a wheat beer though. Bizarre

Dark brown, a bit creamy. Chocolate and fruits. A bit smoke. Filling texture. low carbonation. Great finish! Re-rating sep 08. Damm, the aroma blew me completely away. Wood, vanilla, yeast & loads of chocolate. Brilliant!

Hazy amber color; little head. Classic malt aroma of Belgian Ale, quite thin mouthfeel, even if later the malt and the caramel are more evident. Strong ending bitterness. Easy.

Bottle - BBE February 2007 Hazy, amber body. Off-white, fizzy head, which diminishes very swiftly. Very lovely aroma of vanilla, apples, wheat, spices, the freshness of tooth paste, cognac. Little bit disappointing flavour. Lightly acidic, moderately bitter initial flavour. Moderately bitter, moderately bitter finish. Some quite good flavours are present, but they just aren’t well pronounced. They stay somewhat on the background. This beer has potential to be better if something changes to the recipe, but don’t ask me what.
