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.

Pours dark orange really hazy. Strong herbaceous flavour brought by the Elixir hop along with typical Amarillo flavour.

hazy orange colour, large, creamy slightly yellowish ecru head; aroma of (rotten) pineapple, peach and some vegetable-celery notes; greatly balanced bittersweet taste with the same notes as can be felt in the aroma; good beer! I'm not sure that it is a golden ale (I would rather consider it as an APA or a tropical IPA) but it is really enjoyable!

Bottle shared at Chris and Ruth Pre-GBBF 2017 tasting - London. Cheers! Pours clear deep brown with a frothy, tan head. The nose holds burnt brown bread, light chocolate, some earth. Medium sweet flavour with notes of earthy bitterness, cocoa, dried berries, raisins. Medium to full bodied with fine to average carbonation. Good balance in the finish, nice big chocolate kick, sturdy roast. Solid.
