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"

0.33 l bottle from the Christmas market in Strasbourg, best before September 2030. Almost clear, golden with a medium large, frothy, almost stable, white head. Sweetish, minimally sourish, quite vinous-fruity and minimally funky aroma of white wine, gooseberry, quince and lemon peel.

Medium body, rather effervescent mouthfeel, average carbonation. Very nice grape ale, great balance, highly refreshing and quite complex.

Bottle. Slight hazy light golden. Indeed a lot of white wine with the classis Alsace spicy grape skins, soft sweet malts, gooseberries, apple, peach. Really a mix between wine and beer. Almost full bodied and medium sweet. Quite decent.

Bottle. Hazy golden. Pineapple, dry malts, grapefruit, soft spruce, wheat, grapes. Just medium sweet and more bitter. Medium bodied, slight creamy, not super Brut. Not actually very brut, but that makes me like it more actually. Good beer.
