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.

(Draught at Chez Moeder Lambic Saint-Gilles, Brussels, 25 Oct 2013) Dark brown colour with frothy, beige head. Malty nose with note of dark bread, caramel and prunes. Malty taste with dark bread, caramel, roasted malt and a mild bitterness in the finish. Rather light body, with balanced sweetness. Quite nice.

Clear amber colour, white head. Aroma of hops, citrus, tropical fruits and passion fruit. Fruity hoppy flavour, light bitter, honey and malts. Quite a lot of CO2. Fruity finish. Very nice!

25 cl. draft @ Chez Moeder Lambic Fontainas. Remember reading on the FB that this was dry-hopped with Cantillon lambic (absolutely no idea what that means either…) but cannot find that back. Pours a light copper amber with a big creamy white CML head. Nose is pretty big on hops, thinking of USA here, grapefruit, pine, very fruity surprisingly with some nice funk. Taste is nicely full of hops USA-style, bitter herbs, grapefruit, pine, followed by some malt body, interesting fuk once more , slightly fruity & herbal bitterness in the back. Body is fuller & malty. Pretty interesting brew, hoppy like an USA IIPA but more malty than usual with some interesting funk, neat brew
