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.

Sampled 330 ml. bottle @ “Vini Birre Ribelli 2015”. Dark brown, little head. Nose is massive licorice, touch chicory & herbs. Taste is massive licorice, cheap herbal coffee, leaves, touch pralines, dash chocolate in the back. Slick body. Basically just lots & lots of licorice. Not a bad beer but I am just not really into licorice.

Taste is overly yeasty, dull at best, lots of white sugar, odd lactic touch. Weird, something lactic, overly white sugar, not a big fan. I do love the deScription “Bière blanche nihiliste”.

[9/19/15] Draught at Chez Moeder Lambic Saint-Gilles in Brussels. Cloudy yellow. Lovely hoppy aroma of tropical fruits and citrus. Flavor has some wheat, a spicy note, and nice bitter fruity hops. Quite light-bodied. Very good stuff.

Bottled. A black beer with a lazing tan. The aroma has notes of roasted malt, citrus fruits, and coffee. The flavor is sweet with notes of roasted malt, coffee, citrus and hops, leading to a bitter finish.

On tap at Au bon coin, Nernier. Reddish Amber with a big creamy head. Resin, bubblegum, rosewater, and a slight peppery note in the aroma. Simple but effective taste: mildly sweet with fruity bitter overtones. Nice resiny aftertaste without going overboard. Beautifully carbonated. Mon Dieu this is lovely.
