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.

75cl caged bottle. Lots of pressure on the cork, no gusher. pours cloudy golden, thick white head. aroma, weird combo that I got, from vegetal, to herbal some medicinal plants, mint leaves and blossom, something in the nose I can’t remember as a spice. Touch of yeast, at times hinting at fermented tea leaves. flavors, light palate, yeasty, honey is subtle and I am not sure how ’gelée royale’ changes the palate, light sediments, touch of spices and a medium carbonation. Some grassy notes and honey blossom mouthfeel. Interesting, and I still can’t figure out which spice is used in this brew.

Bottle, 75cl, courtesy of fonefan. A clear, pale golden beer with a small, off-white head. Pear-like sweet impression on the nose, with a good dash of fresh apples. Not as acetealdehyde, but fresh real apples. Sweet flavor with white sugar, and apples like in an industrial cider. Medium body, almost sticky. Sweet finish. Well, not my beer, even though it’s far from bad. 091024

The bottle looks simple, nothing special. Beer in the glass light red, huge head. Starts very, very sweet, like syrup. Tastes like lemonade. Very drinkable but not really with joy.

Bit soapy-cramy yellowish head over foxy-copper beer. Appaling sweet-perfumed reek, as something made for the toilet of British female teenagers. Or a Cadbury filling. Scorched caramel with the worst artificial fruit flavours. Rather well-carbonated, very faint burning MF, backthroat syrupy slickness. Des Fagnes - there’s one thing I have to admit about them - they never let you down. Just as you thought it couldn’t get worse...
