Description
Don't tell him beer is a guy's drink. Marjorie Jacobi is a girl, she loves jewelry, the color purple and beer! In 2009 she opened her own micro-brewery business and joined the very closed circle of female brewers. There are less than fifteen in France and Marjorie is surely the most rock'n roll of all.
In the village of Blainville-sur -Eau, Marjorie's house can be seen from afar. Purple shutters, flashy flowers and a garden gnome perched on the window. She even renamed the street after her microbrewery: Paradise. Marjorie launched her brewing in her kitchen. The computer scientist slashes everything and becomes a full-time "brewer".
A few meters from the vats, Marjorie has opened a small bar where you can taste her beers "but not every day, because hey ... Besides, there is not much stock." Proud of its success, the "stirrer-brewer" plans to expand and open a terrace this summer. Health, happiness, prosperity! She has found her paradise.

750 ml. bottle sampled @ Vini, Birre, Ribelli 2014. Clear amber, bubbles on the side. Nose is very herbal, lots of star anise, spices, sweet, Christmas spices. Taste is dominated by star anis of which I am not a fan, bitter, herbal, liquorish,… Substantial body. Not my preferred flavours but decent for what it is.

Bottle sampled @ Vini, Birre, Ribelli 2014. Hazy citrus, little bubbles. Nose is very aromatic & fruity hops, lots of berries. Taste is a tad odd, quite herbal, kitchen spices, bay laurel, also berries, light fruity hops. Odd but decent.

Bottle sample @ Vini, Birre, Ribelli ’14, Bruxelles. Après les bières Oreo, voilà les Twix, et pourquoi pas? Bière brune au col blanc-cassé léger. Arôme offre un agréable combo entre le biscuité typique de Twix et une bonne variété de malts, ici et là pils, pâle avec une belle pointe de chocolat. Dominance clairement axée sur les malts et ces effluves biscuitées. Palais offre une belle note biscuitée, pointe de caramel, un Jack Daniel’s très très discret voire trop sans avoir lu cela sur l’étiquette je n’aurai jamais senti un bourbon. Le côté vanille reste aussi en léger retrait, pointe de sucre caramélisé avec un profil levure assez belge. Le Chinook est trop discret, je manque d’y noter son côté épicé et agrume. Une version que j’aimerai voir en impérial. La version dégustée me semblait juste un peu faiblarde à seulement 6% surtout avec la liste importante d’ingrédients dont certains manquent d’être vraiment mis à l’honneur. Reste très correcte.

Bottle sample @ Vini, Birre, Ribelli ’14, Bruxelles. Ambrée, col blanc léger. Arôme au bouquet très agréable d’épice alternant sur des note de cannelle, girofle et muscade le tout agrémenté d’un très beau malt grillé qui apporte une petite pointe non-négligeable de café. Palais reste dans le même axe et profite très bien du côté épicé, retrouve un léger houblonné fleuri en fin de bouche. Malt grillé avec une pointe pils. Bière légère à 6% qui joue la part belle aux épices sans pour cela en faire de trop.

Bottle sample @ Vini, Birre, Ribelli ’14, Bruxelles. Couleur dorée-ambrée, col blanc. Arôme, je note de suite ce bouquet agréable de baies offrant des effluves fines d’épices rappelant le poivre. Le tout est accompagné d’une base malt carapils assez neutre, et suffisant pour mettre en avant ces baies. Palais reste très léger avec ce profil épicé subtil qui vient titiller le palais, le tout est agrémenté de notes houblonnées conférant un fleuri modéré. Malt est présent mais restant en retrait. Bière qui est sauvée par l’usage de ces baies rouges.
