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.

Bière bue à la maison. Robe dorée limpide, mousse fine et persistante. Nez expressif marqué par les agrumes (pamplemousse, orange) avec une touche résineuse et un fond légèrement malté caramel. Attaque franche, sèche, l’amertume s’installe rapidement mais reste élégante, soutenue par une belle trame aromatique d’agrumes et de pin. L’équilibre entre la douceur du malt et la vivacité houblonnée est réussi. En finale, une amertume nette et persistante, bien typique du style. Une West Coast parfaitement exécutée !

An interesting ipa, rather classical, interesting herbal side, enjoyable bitterness, citrus, dry malt and the hop in the center of our palate from a serious brewery, 09.04.21, at our flat, Epalinges.

Bottle. Color: Lightly hazy golden to orange amber, off-white head. Aroma: Malty, spicy, orange notes. Taste: Honey, malty, spicy notes, orange peel notes, floral hop notes. A bit creamy mouthfeel. Moderate to over moderate sweet and bitter. Just over medium body, average carbonation. Dry-ish, spicy and bittery finish. Rather weird beer, a lot of flavours to explore but a bit unbalanced in my opinion. Ok overall

Bière en canette dégustée à la maison, d'une brasserie de Colmar que j'apprécie particulièrement. Robe jaune dorée trouble, surmontée d’une belle mousse blanche assez dense. Nez très frais, porté sur les fruits tropicaux, avec une touche de raisin blanc et de melon. En bouche, l’attaque est légère, avec un fond malté discret qui laisse rapidement place aux arômes fruités du nez. L’amertume est modérée, bien dosée, et l’ensemble reste très équilibré. C’est rafraîchissant, bien fait, avec une finale dans la continuité : fruitée, ronde, sans lourdeur. Une DDH Double IPA agréable et maîtrisée.
