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 Reserve A Biere, Colmar, Alsace, France, consumed at home Thursday 21st July 2016. Pours a murky brown colour with a tan head. In the mouth this is a big, chewy, malty beer with plenty of oomph. It straddle a good balance in that it is not too sweet. I like this, it’s another good beer from Sainte Crucienne. Btw I think that this is named after a bar in Colmar which is near (next-door to the beer shop) A7 A3 T7 P4 Ov14 3.5

Bottle from Dranken Geers, Oostakker, Nr Gent, Belgie consumed at home making burgers in the back garden Tuesday 19th July 2016, Hazy dirty gold with a large foamy white head. A tangier wheatier beer than expected. However this is a wheaty beer and is refreshing, some summer fruits in particular a touch of nectarine or peach perhaps. It’s a jolly pleasant beer.

Bottle from Reserva, Colmar, Alsace region, consumed at home whilst cooking Chicken Tagine with Preserved Lemons and Artichoke Hearts on the BBQ, 3rd July 2016 Pours hazy amber with a white head. The smokiness is nice because it’s subtle and works with the beer instead of taking over. A steady IPA, some slightly unripe fruit and a little pithy edge. The carbonation is nicely soft, good beer yet again from Sainte Crucienne (Collaboration, I believe) A6 A3 T7 P4 Ov15 3.5

Bottle from Dranken Geers, Oostakker, Nr Gent, Belgie. Consumed at home whilst cooking large Conchiglioni Rigata pasta stuffed with small north sea brown shrimps, cream cheese and shallots. Saturday 2nd July 2016 Dark amber with a clingy off white head. A little hop sting on first sip, it’s not hugely hop but it makes its presence felt. A little buzzy burnt caramel and a little bit of vanilla, it’s good but isn’t wowing me. A6 A3 T7 P4 Ov14 3.4

Bottle from Dranken Geers, Oostakker, Nr Gent, Belgie. Consumed at home Saturday 2nd July 2016, Pours a red amber with a haze and a large white frothy head. A touch soapy on the nose, soft carbonation, it’s good, it tastes 7.2% though in saying that it’s not boozy. It’s a fruity beer but there is a light toffee and caramel underbelly that sort of slows the hops progress. A6 A4 T7 P3 Ov14 3.4
