Description
Originally from Sainte-Croix en Plain, the Alsatian Sainte Crucienne brewery first saw the light of day in 2007 during a boozy evening, thanks to a band of idealistic friends eager to create different and very hoppy beers. At the start of their adventure, they started by brewing 20 liters of beers, then 100, then 600. It was not until 2013 that the brewery officially started in its premises in Colmar, in just three years the volume of production has doubled to reach 3000 hl today.

They share this success with a whole community of independent brewers who are part of the Front Hexagonal de Libièration, with whom they continue to work. The goal is to multiply collaborations and unique brews to create an ever more original beer in taste and participate in the revolution of the world of craft beers.

Bottled. Rubyish black colour with a small beigeish brown head. Aroma ia coffee, toffee, some ripe fruits, alcohol and mild notes of yeast. Flavour is rather similar in a good balance, with some slight spiciness from the yeast giving it a nice twist. Quite a pleasant brew in a strange form of bottle.

4/II/23 - 33cl bottle from Geers (Oostakker) @ Nieuwjaarsreceptie Gentse Biervereniging, BB: 13/IV/22 (2023-109) Thanks for sharing the past date bottle! I mean, it’s just an IPA, so... :-/

Clear orange beer, small creamy off-white head, unstable, non adhesive. Aroma: very oxidized, sweet, malty, more oxidation, floral, a bit of a sweet impression, is this a TIPA? (nope, turns out it’s way past date) MF: ok carbon, medium to full body. Taste: a bit sweet up front, fruity, hoppy, gentle bitterness, some peaches. Aftertaste: gentle bitterness, very oxidized, a bit fruity, malty, alcohol, ok but way too old. A shame.
