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.

33 cl bottle at the terrace of La Merveilleuse cave, Dinant (whose visit I strongly recommend). It pours hazy reddish amber with a tan head that disappears fast but leaves a long-lasting foam ring. Aroma is cherry, coffee, red apple, leather and a hint of lambic. Taste is dry, slick, full-bodied. Not very bitter but long-lingering finish.

Bottle @ home. Clear pale golden color, full sized white head that lasts for a decent while. Aroma initially is sweetish hoppy with a touch of fruitpeel. After a while it becomes very unpleasant and artificial. Flavor directly has that weird artificial note. Also it tastes yeasty, fruitpeel again, a bit tannin-tart-dry-ish. Average to decent body, a bit sharp carbonation. Bleh don't like it at all. Artificial and unpleasant. [3-3-3-2-6=1.7] -- Edit: because I was working and quite busy I didn't allow myself to get up and throw the beer away. And amazingly it became nicer again after 20 minutes or so. The artificial flavors are now almost fully gone again and what's left is actually an ok beer. I'm still not a fan but it's not a 1.7 anymore.
