Description
It was on the initiative of a handful of friends that the PBA and its product l'Oubliette, were created in 1997. The founders of the brewery decided to perpetuate a long brewing tradition of the Ardennes (more than 200 breweries between two wars), and are the first to relaunch production on a regional scale. L’Oubliette quickly established itself in the local landscape with consumers, thanks to its taste qualities. In particular, it has carved out a reputation for "beers for friends" at good restaurants in the region, as well as by supporting cultural and social actions.

In the continuity, a new entity was born in 2013 called Brasserie De Malt Et D'Ô, it wants to guarantee the tradition of quality and conviviality, while reaffirming the legitimate ambitions of our exceptional products.

24/X/2012 - 33cl bottle from De Hopduvel (Gent) @ home - BB: I/14 (2012-1172)

Clear golden to light orange beer, big creamy white head, pretty stable, adhesive, nice lacing. Aroma: grains, hay, cow fodder, bit sweet, cereals. MF: ok carbon, medium body. Taste: little sourish, lots of grains, some hay, bit of sweet malts, some citrus. Aftertaste: sweet malts, little sugary, some citric hops, bit metallic, marzipan, bit sugary, dry bitter ending. Has a very big German feel to it. And I don't think that's a good thing.

Just yellowish, fine & dense head, stable, fed by lively carbonated yellowish beer with a fine "Grünstich". Spicy-malty nose, dry-smelling, garden herbs - and wheat, perhaps. Dry-herbal flavour, with a fine point of EU-hops. Bitter-ish, lightly spicy. Light bodied wheat(?)slickness, very well-carbonated. Easy drinking, but that’s its nicest point.

5.5/10 Appearance 8 Aroma 5 Flavor 5 Texture 6 Overall 5
Towering fluffy snowwhite head over hazy golden-yellow beer with a faint greenish hue. Quite spicy nose, rootspices first, citrus/coriander afterwards; bit soapy. Bitterish-spicy, coriander, fake citrus, sweat; unbalanced. Very spritzy to fizzy, light body. Another wit.

Small head, yellow-brown colour, quite bright for an amber. Aroma is a lot of different cereals, some barley. Taste is heavy on those French unwashed malt notes, but they’re rather harsher here, a very bready taste. Dry finish. Just all right.

Orange beer, well-carbonated under disappearing yellowish head. Very demure nose, with malts, some coloured, point of hops even. Clean, crisp grains & toasty taste, slightly coloured malts again. Well-carbonated, some slickness, pappy feeling. Quite characterless, in fact. Txs to Stef!
