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"

Bottle from Le Super Coin, Paris; harvest 2011, bb July 2013
Hazy blond color; medium sized creamy head. The aroma is delicate and grassy. Clean mouthfeel, malt flavor, with a pleasant character of dry grass; quite bold bitterness, not excessive.
The hop is not distinctive; but the clean malt profile is very pleasant.

Bottle at Le Super Coin, Paris
Hazy amber color, medium sized head. It has some aroma of malt, light wine, light fruitiness from the hop, very light rubber. Smooth mouthfeel, good body strength; unfortunately the fermentation produced an evident flavor of vegetables and cabbage, and light liquorice; differently from other beers, this one has some sweet fruitiness too. The bitterness is relatively low, there is a bit of candi in the final, along with light alcohol perception.
Flawed.

Bottle at Le Super Coin, Paris
Hazy amber color, medium sized creamy head. Fresh and delicate mint aroma. The mouthfeel is light, the flavor of malt or wheat is light too, it doesn’t match too well with the mint; there is a strange flavor of blood; the final instead is more balanced, still quite weird a beer.
Strange idea, not too bad, but not interesting either.

Draught at La Fine Mousse, Paris
Hazy dark amber color with some red reflex. Delicate aroma of malt and spices. The flavor is a bit more vulgar, some dry caramel and malt with a dusty note, ending with darker caramelized sugars; correct bitterness. It doesn’t really show the promised fruity ingredients or the vanilla.
