Description
Going back twenty years, he brothers Stephane and Ludovic Hardouin, both lovers of Belgian beers, live in the Paris region. For 6 years, they traded beers, and developed an address book with restaurateurs, wine merchants and winegrowers. In 2002 they decided to strengthen their activity. No more reselling and making their own beer at home. They got started by setting up their brewery in Céré la Ronde in 2003, near their family.
Today it is a growing business of 4 people. Each year production is increasing (+ 10% / year on average) and the maximum production capacity has not yet been reached.
The beers created by the brewery are 100% pure malt (barley and malted wheat). They are unfiltered, unpasteurized and refermented in the bottle. Among the brewery's projects, growing their own hops. Since 2019, it has been home to the first hop plants. The idea is to supplement the hop purchases and why not, to make a beer from this house culture.

Pours unclear blonde, medium sized, lower stability, white head. Smell is citrussy, fresh, zesty, wheat. Not as spiced ( nor sweet ) as some of the Belgian ones. Taste is sharp, surprisingly bitter, zesty, lemon like citrussy, wheat, bit high on the yeasty side, making it very 'heavy' to drink, especially in combination with this high carbonation. OK

Bottleshare @ Yggdrasil Brewing pre-open. Hazy orange with some white bubbles on top. Protein flakes flying around. Malty nose with some candy sugar and belgian spices. Tastes sweetish malty, yeast character strong and light bitterness there. Nice farmhouse character, smooth and drinkable.

Butelka. Barwa jasnego złota, mocno opalizujące. Aromat wyraźnie chmielowy - ziołowo-trawiasty, pod nim przyprawowa fenolowość. W smaku już tego chmielu nie ma, jest średnio słodko, z lekką kwaskowością. Goryczka niska. Wysycenie średnie. Najlepszy z 3 propozycji tego browaru, których spróbowałem, ale nadal mocno średnio. Po prostu nie moje style.

Butelka. Jasnopomarańczowe, wyraźnie zmętnione. Piana okazała, średniotrwała. Aromat słodowo-przyprawowy, dość mdły. W smaku słodkie, z wyczuwalnymi nutami ziemisto-ziołowego chmielu. Goryczka zauważalna, jak na witbiera nawet dość wysoka. Średnio.

Bottle at home. Three year old. Pours a clear deep mahogany colour with a big beige head. Aroma of raisins, game meat, oak, spices, fenols and nuts. Subtle cocoa notes. Flavour of raisins, oak, licorice, alcohol and some chocolate. Has a slick and silky mouth feel, medium to full body and a light bitterness. Decent and balanced, but is relatively light in aroma and flavour.
