Brown 33cl bottle, best before 31st Dec 2012. Poured into a ’Hoegaarden Grand Cru’ stemmed tulip. This is the first beer in an ’odd ball reviewing evening’ (June 2011). Almost pilsner in looks, bright golden yellow with a good deep snow white foaming head. I left the sediment in the bottle, hence the clean, clear appearance. The yeasty aroma tells you it isn’t a pilsner, the smell is a good blend of mixed herbs and spices along with the yeast esters. The flavours found in the smell are all there within the taste also, lovely well balanced brew which has good carbonisation and an alcohol content that is happy to stay in the background rather than taking over like some beers within this style. A peppery feel in the aftertatse, very pleasant. A good beer, easy to drink and one of the best I’ve had from France (who as brewers are going up in my estimation).

Tall thin 33cl bottle, best before 31 Dec 2012, poured into a Westmalle chalice in Oct 2011. Looked really great (like all beers in a Westmalle chalice): deep, deep depths of darkness a well formed and creamy looking tanned head sat proudly on top. A French smoked beer of the finest order, the smell was peat bogs and smoked hams rolled in coal, the taste sharp, crisp and smoky, I’m impressed. Two days ago I had a rauchbier from Bamberg, this is different but equally as good if not better in my opinion. Obviously lager/pilsner based, but it hasn’t lost the firm, invigorating crispness those smoked brews from Bamberg seem too. lager like in bodyfeel, but certainly not light or watery, just a little thin for the flavours it imparts. Different and well made, a pleasant surprise.

Bottle. (old notes from 2007) Clear golden with a large white head. Sweet and fruity aroma with wheat and yeast. Also some citrus. No bitternes and with a soft body. Nothing sensational but drinkable.

bottle from Calais Vins, tasted together with cheeses from the North of France, e.g. Sablé de Wissant. Hazy straw golden colour, mid-sized white head. Fruity aroma. Spicy hops with some good, sweet malts with a shy fruity touch - this really is a good companion for cheese. Very nice beer.

0.75l bottle from Calais Vins. Recolte été 2009, Bois de Belle Dalle. Hazy deep sunshine yellow colour, large and creamy white head. Sweet, slightly fruity aroma (strawberries at the beginning). Full-bodied, intensive malty base with a nice touch of fruit (tropical and strawberries) and some good aromatic and bitter hops, slightly dusty and hay-like. Smooth palate. Very nice.

(bottle, 33cl) Black coloured hue with a beige and tall foamy head. Moderately sweet, earthy and slightly leathery roast-malty aroma with hints of cacao and bubblegum. Mildly bitter flavour, light to medium bodied with a moderate carbonation. Dry and roasty malt-character, again with earthy and leathery notes; dry, also a bit slim roasty malty finish. Light but pleasant. 11.I.12
