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.

Les arômes sur les fruits exotiques, les agrumes avec des touches herbacées (très certainement houblonnage à cru) rendent cette Sainte Cru agréables et facile d'accès. Une amertume manquant de maîtrise et manquant de brillance alliée à un alcool à 6,2 % quelque peu décevant la laissent dans la catégorie des IPA moyenne toutefois, sans plus de prétentions. En verre nous sommes sur un joli blond doré quasiment sans mousse et parcouru par de grosses bulles. Le nez est plutôt sympathique sur le pamplemousse, la mandarine, la mangue, le citron, la pêche et les herbes. L'attaque déçoit pour une IPA, peu amère et peu aromatique avec des arômes de pêche, herbes et poivre. La deuxième plus amère (bien que celle-ci reste modérée) et plus aromatique est plus intéressante et appréciable en reprenant les arômes du nez. L'arrière-bouche est quelque peu agressive et astringente sur les herbes (petit problème sur houblonnage à cru). Le final est très court et achève peu allégrement cette IPA. A boire entre copains, sans prétentions.
