Local beer from Pas-de-Calais in northwestern France, celebrating the two beautiful capes there, Cap Gris-Nez and Cap Blanc-Nez, marking what the English call “the Strait of Dover”. The brewery is run by a Christophe Noyon and located less than three miles east from Cap Gris-Nez. Comes from a 75 cl bottle with crown cap as a gift from my girlfriend. Thick and very moussy, snow white, uneven-bubbled, stable head on an initially clear, deep and pure yellow golden beer with lots of lively, visible sparkling, turning misty gold with sediment. Aroma of fresh white bread, unripe banana, grass, green pear, honey, flour, tulips, raw potato, moist white pepper. Cleanly fruity onset, hints of apple, pineapple and light banana, lively carbonated with smooth and slick mouthfeel; minerally accents subtly but refreshingly accompany a cereally, white-bready, ‘pure’ maltiness carrying the yellow fruit accents to a florally and mildly spicy hop bitterish finish, ending grassy with lingering honeyish sweetness and a whiff of clove-like phenolic spiciness. Remarkably well balanced and correctly executed Belgian style blonde in a somewhat cleaner version than average – which kind of links it to the local bière de garde tradition as well. Forgettable and cliché, perhaps, but doubtlessly well made for what it is.

Millésime 2019. Ramenée de chez terre de weppes. Robe dorée, belle mousse abondante. Bouche sur les céréales, mais trop sucrée à mon goût.

hazy pale yellow colour, large, long lasting white head; aroma of orange peel, grape and grape peel, apricot, apple, some bread crusty, wine cellary-musty and floral hoppy notes; taste is similar to the aroma with a bit less intensive fruitiness and spicy-peppery notes; really good one
