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"

Slightly hazy crisp copper coloured body with a nice bronze glow and a very thin oily tan head. Aroma of yeast, wheat, coriander seed and a touch of curacao and light sweetness. Light to Medium-bodied; Strong yeastie notes up front with hints of alcohol and bitter wheat/malt and not much else - a touch of spices and herbs. Aftertaste shows the bitter yeast and a touch of wheat freshness, but not much else. Overall, a pretty typical single or light belgian-inspired herb/spiced wit with not much else going on. I sampled this 33 cL bottle purchased from World Market in Arlington (Pentagon Row), Virginia on 12-December-2014 for US$2,99 sampled at home just a few steps away in Washington on 23-January-2015.

Bouteille(Merci, Stephane!): Golden, a bit unclear, visible carbonation, small and stable white foamy layer; mainly grainy nose, pale malt detectable, a distinctive metallic tinge as well; relatively dry bitter flavour with a delicate sweetness in the second row; light to medium bodied, balancing sweet malt in the otherwise dryish bitter finish. Quite nice… by french standards!
