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.

Bottle from bartlebier. Cheers. The aroma of smoke appears when pouring, before settling in to a smoke tinged floralness. Amber. Small bubbles. Good bright white head. Subtle tastes - the bitterness from the hops is there but balanced out by the smokiness which is almost sweet. Medium bodied. Full mouthfeel, complimented by soft carbonation. Long finish. Good stuff.

Grand tasting at Craft Islington with Hackobock. Almost opaque dark brown beer, tidy tan head. Palate is airy and fairly dry, decent fine carbonation. Smooth dry dark malts, unsweet dark chocolate. Tangy dark fruits. Spicy fruity whiskey on the back end. More dark chocolate on the spicy finish. A tad dry but well flavoured.

Pours clear, rather dark blonde. Small to good white head. Smell is very mild sorachi, not super intense in general either. Taste is full, rather bitter, mild hoparoma’s over a rather yeasty, but balanced (!) base beer. Not sure why it’s got only 50 % at style, i really like it ! Mouthfeel is perfectly fine as well as the carbonation. Well done !

Bottle at the Hackobock tasting, thanks to Kenny. It pours opaque black with a thick tan head. The aroma is rich roasted malt, toasted marshmallow, coconut, rocky road and dried cherry. The taste is rich roasted malt, charred wood, leather, alcohol boost, warming alcohol, cocoa and dried fruits. Medium - full body and moderate carbonation. Pretty filthy stuff. Perhaps a touch harsh, but not bad.
