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.

Nous sommes avant tout en présence d'une IPA avec cette Red is Dead plutôt que sur une Red Ale. Celle-ci est d'ailleurs plaisante et globalement bien équilibrée. Et si elle aurait mérité d'être un peu plus saillant, les arômes d'orange amère et de pamplemousse accompagnés d'herbes, d'épices et de caramel sont très agréables. Le visuel est sur une robe ambrée voilée surmontée d'une fine mousse blanche. Le nez est appréciable sur une principale orange amère/ pamplemousse agrémentée d'herbes et de caramel. En bouche c'est relativement simple, mais tout aussi appréciable. De légères épices apparaissent à l'attaque. L'ensemble manque tout de même quelque peu de tension aromatique, de vivacité, de complexité et de longueur. Sympathique.

Can. Hazy orange color with white head. Aroma is super juicy guava, mango and just a bit passion fruit. Taste is mineraly, exotic fruits, definitely some grains and wheat there. Sparkly carbonation, I like this one a lot!
