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.

Ein Mitbringsel meines Kumpels Bernahrd, der aus irgendeinem Grund im Elsass war und die St. Cru-Biere mitbrachte -vermutlich auch weil ihm die Comic-Figuren auf dem Etikett gefielen. Dieses Brune ist auf jeden Fall stärker und intensiver als die Belgier, aber geschmacklich kann man nicht sagen: Es besticht durch schöne Aromen nach getrockneten Früchten: Kirschen, Zwetschken, Marillen -alles da und gut ausgewogen. Einzig der etwas komisch wirkende Karamellzuckergeschmack ließ mich etwas stutzen. Nichtsdestotrotz eine klare Empfehlung von mir.

Bottle at home. Black with creamy beige head. Soap and flowers, lime peel, marmalade, grapefruit. Very hoppy beer, hard to get anything from the malts, but after a little while I get some brown bread, knackebröd, toast, maybe some coffee dregs. Medium bodied with creamy feel. Nice one.

A la biere comme a la biere, Paris: Pours hazy orange with a nice head that is white. Aroma is some fruit and earthiness. Kind of dull hops. Taste is better than aroma. Nice and bright. Fruity and a bit bitter.
