Description
Our craft beer brewery is located near Grenoble, at the foot of the three mountain ranges of Vercors, Chartreuse and Belledonne. Its location owes nothing to chance because we find here one of the best waters in France, loaded with minerals ... and history. Our brewery takes its name from our working tool (the brewing tanks) and the famous tourist cave "Cuves de Sassenage", a few kilometers from here.

Bottled 330ml. -from Geant Albertville, shared with Marko & Hrabren. Amberish coloured, small to medium sized off-white head, earthy and caramel nose with whiff of grass. Sweet and candy malty, caramel, earthy notes and some vegetables with cardboardish touch in the finish. First of all where's Genepi here and major idiotic fact is BBE date 07/27; are you crazy or simply morons (Le Cretin)???

0.33l bottle that Ogi brought from France and shared with Hrabren and me. Clearish coppery-amber body, off-white head. Odd, oxidized aroma (best before 07/2027.... yeah, sure). Stale caramelly malty aroma, rye-like, bit earthy, some oxidation in evidence, no génépi in evidence... Lean, dry, caramelly, bit earthy taste, low fruity touches, agian, pretty much no génépi.

0.33 l bottle thanks to Ogi, shared with Marko and him. Aroma is caramely, lightly fruity, earthy, spicy and cardboard. Flavour is toasty and spicy. Herbal notes. Soft, smooth, light body, minimal bitterness. Finishes quite sweet. Very strange, no connection to IPA style, but not bad overall.

opalescent orange colour, large, though not too stable off-white head; aroma of bready, canned apple, some pear, soy sauce, floral honey and yeasty notes; taste is malt dominant with the same notes as can be felt in the aroma and some spicy-peppery notes; not that bad
