Description
A modest jewel in the Luxembourgish brewing world, Brasserie Simon is both a keeper of the soul of good beer and a creative rebel. Rich in its independence, the company emphasizes the quality of its products and customer service to strengthen its Luxembourg roots.
At Brasserie Simon, we take the time: our fermentation process is still separated into two stages as we did always: a main fermentation in open vats which is followed by maturation in closed vats. A small craft brewery since 1824, Brasserie Simon is the only brewery in Luxembourg to have the latest generation open fermentation tanks guaranteeing the taste of real beers from the past.

A light orange beer with a white bubbly head. The aroma is sweet with notes of wheat and citrus. The flavor is one-dimensional; dry, slightly acidic, with notes of wheat, straw, and citrus.

Fuzzy, very pale-yellow, slightly irregular, snow-white head, lacey, reasonnably stable. Very fine, acidic nose, bit wheat-like, faint lactic like buttermilk. Acidic , acrid, slight tart initial taste, leaving place to much more sweet malts, then receding again to the acrid taste (isomerised hopoils?). The bitter, acrid taste is the only negative thing to report. This is actually quite nice. Diacetyl is there only in the nose.

Hazy orange; thick cream-coloured head, stable and lacey. Nose of wheat, chaff, some caramel (?), orange zest. Nearly tart, lemon&orangey, refreshing tasting witbier. Actually a very good one for a wit, not too corianderish. Flavours of orange-filled gingerbread, something minty at the same time. Well-bodied for a wit. Refreshing. Slightly peppery aftertaste - yet coriander or grains of paradise? Good one! Okult has made progress with this one.

Beer has changed name to Quaffit Stout. Gushing to enormous grey-brown head. Beer colour of hazy Coca-Cola. Nose at first a bit sourish (cap showed signs of rather primitive bottling methods) Further nose of old oakwood and dark grain. There is a bit of acidity in the taste, but more of the kind I link to burnt grain. Coffee, stale tobacco. The effervescence is all in the head, the beer is rather flat. Medium-bodied. Tastes tired, somehow. It is very "quaffable", yes - but is it worth searching 'the Grand Duchy' for? Ho-hum stout.
