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.

Very good cream-beige head, dense and stable, leaving textbook lace over red-shot dark brown beer. Sweetish caramel-toffee nose, roasted grains, slight coffee. Bitter, hoppy, near-metallic taste. Ground coffee powder. Again a tad metallic (stannum?) Very slick, near chewy; creamy-velvety texture; well-carbonated. Long bitterish aftertaste, with just a touch of stout acidity. Good brown beer, pleasing.

Huge, very dense & fine white head over veiled orangey-golden beer, well-carbonated. Aromatic, fruity New World hops, passion fruit, lychee, rosewater, citruspeel. Bit dullish, dry-spicy flavour. Herbal and faintly again New World hops, mainly in the finish. Sugary (white candi -) sweetness underneath. Aftertaste develops something faint ashy-smokey, but very mildly so. Spritzy, light body, faint slickness. Somewhat better than the usual wit. Bière nihiliste is every bit as tiresome as satirique.

Medium, light-yellowish head, shortlived over faintly orangey golden beer. Dry nose, bit hoppy. Dry leaves, sparadrap, camphor, mint. In the finish, I get honey - but as I knew, I wonder... In the flavour, the honey is definitely more obvious. Again dry autumn leaves, bit of caramel. Again mint/camphor. Light body, medium carbonation, bit watery. Not without merit, but nobody is going to rave over this. Then again, bière satirique, what the hell is thàt supposed to mean??

(Draught at Chez Moeder Lambic Saint-Gilles, Brussels, 16 Oct 2015) Reddish amber colour with frothy, off-white head. Fruity, malty nose with notes of caramel, orange peel and pink grapefruit. Malty, fruity taste with caramel, blood orange, citrus peel and a generous citric bitterness. More than medium body, with a certain malt sweetness. Tasty and well balanced, with a good malt profile and a generous hop character. Nice one.

(Keg at Black Door, 20151218) The beer poured golden and hazy. Its head was medium sized and white. Aroma had citricness, orange juice and a hint of malts. Palate was medium bodied with medium carbonation. Flavours were fruitiness, Belgian style yeast. citricness, grass, malts, mildly caramel and medium bitterness. Aftertaste was hoppy and bitter. An hoppy pale ale with a twist from Belgian style yeast. Rather dull.

Tap@ Black door. Pours unclear amber with a thin white head, lacing. Nice hoppy, sweet tropical fruits in aroma. Sweet fruity, peachy with some nettles as well. Sweet finish, lingering fruitiness. Almost too sweet but I do enjoy the fruits here.

Sampled 330 ml. bottle @ “Vini Birre Ribelli 2015”. Hazy orange, little white head. Nose is weirdly mineral & watery, dust, hay,… Taste is same, spoiled sugar, massive white sugar sweetness, bad milk, table sugar, hay, white bread. Body is watery & milky, spoiled + cheap table sugar. I don’t get where they were going with this one.
