Description
Artzner craft beer has a very long history. It dates back over two centuries. In 1882 to be exact, Pierre Hoeffel founded brewery Perle in Schiltigheim. In 1919: Charles Kleinknecht, brewing engineer, took over the brewery and in 1930, a new brewery was built. Just before the Second World War, production reached 300,000 hectoliters. In 1971, the brewery was closed and the buildings were demolished in the 1980s.

In 2009, Christian Artzner, great-great-grandson of the founder, paid his greatest tribute to this beer by bringing it back to life. In 2015, the Perle brewery officially opened in Strasbourg, at the Plaine des Bouchers, with a brand new production facility and beers "made in Alsace"

Very good, whipped eggwhite-like head, leaving lace over well-carbonated yellow-golden beer. Fine flowery, lightly citrussy nose, but also the garden weeds/nettles I often correlate to Citra. Bit of ureum. Bitter-herbal flavour, spicy. Faintly toasted malts, leafy. Finish is pretty bitter, long-lasting. Light body, very lively carbonated. Quite decent.
