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.

(Bottle 33 cl) Reddish amber with a tiny, creamy head. A huge sediment makes this muddy if you stir the sediment. Incredibly complex nose of rotten fruit - prunes rather than plums. Extremely complex, perfumy flavours. Overipe....something....again but excellent. 050605

An orange beer with sediment floating around and a huge off-white head. The aroma is of over ripe fruits, alcohol, and wood. The flavor is dry with notes of over ripe fruits and prunes, on a background where the alcohol leaves a slight burn on the tongue.

Bottle at Le Bier Circus, Brussels Rocky, white large head, which lasts totally. Murky orange body. Some medium sized particles present. Nose of hops (flowers) and apple. Lightly bitter initital flavour. Moderately bitter lightly sweet finish, which lasts quite long. Medium bodied, lively carbonation. This is definitely not a typical white beer, but hey, I like it! (In contrast of the normal white beers.) The wheat-notes are present in the flavour, but in a very limited way.

Hazy dark orange, tight beige head. Yeast, banana, lemon and hops in the aroma. Crisp. fruity, lemony, yeasty. Nice hoppy, oily aftertaste. Refreshing summer drink with some woody notes. Even a bit Fantome-like.

(Bottle 33 cl) In this original version simply called "Quintine". Pale golden, hazy with a nice, huge head. Very pronounced bitterness all the way through. Harsh alcohol-burn. Not really pleasant. 111196

Hazy pale yellow, small white head. Fruity, citrusy nose, same time a bit artificial - like dishing cleanser. Aroma lacks a good depth from yeasts. Lemony citrusy flavor, tickling bitterness but a bit restless, underlying grassy hops. Bitter aftertaste. Not bad blonde but quite ordinary.

(Bottle 33 cl) Amber, slightly hazy, creamy and lasting head with a fine lacing. Extremely hoppy - almost IPA-like. A sharper less pleasant and not so aromatic hoppiness though. Some caramel notes from the malt. A somewhat crude and unrefined beer. 240405

(Bottle 33 cl) Pilsener-golden, slightly hazy (with a visble sediment at the bottom), thick "shaving foam- like" head, which never disappears completely. Brewed on 40% wheat-malt which I can’t really taste. Quite sharp bitterness, lovely fruity freshness. Resembles a Tripel. 121003

Bottle. Golden colour, semi-stable white head. Wheaty aroma. Full mouthfeel, nice wheat flavour. Aftertaste is quite bitter and a little strange.
