Description
Along the road to Nismes, a stone's throw from Mariembourg, a peculiar building with a copy of a windmill is visible. It was the showcase of a disco that was turned into a brewery by Frédéric Adant in 1998.

At the Brasserie des Fagnes, we brew around 50 different beers per year. Our brews and beers offered for tasting may change according to the seasons. More fruity in spring, light and refreshing in summer, rather amber in autumn with more body and taste, finally more alcoholic in winter with a tendency towards strong browns ... Yes, there is something for everyone's taste at the Brasserie des Fagnes! Some of its beers are only available at the Brasserie des Fagnes. After brewing, fermentation and aging in the tank, they are transferred to storage tanks which are directly connected to the flow pumps in the tasting room.

Draft @ Br. des Fagnes May1st 2013. A supposed Rodenbach clone that tasted more like infected apple. Couleur ambrée-cuivrée, col beige crémeux. Arôme de pomme avec ce bouquet tanin de pelure aigre, malté moyen sur un côté caramel et malt pils. Palais laisse une fine aigreur, léger sucré avec encore ici ce profil pomme aigre reste râpeux en fin de bouche. Pointe de cannelle, malt carapils. Je ne vois pas le rapport avec Rodenbach considérant que Fagnes n’a pas de foudre de chêne. Reste ok à boire, mais vraiment rien de spécial à voir ici.
