Description
Brasserie Lepers is the result of more than 100 years of experience shared over 6 generations. The tradition has been perpetuated by, on the one hand, the Maille family - Brasserie Maille (since 1905) which then became the Brasserie d'Annœullin, and on the other, by the Lepers - Brasserie Lepers Frères family (from 1880 to 1960 ). These are the ancestors of Charles Lepers, current director of the Lepers Brewery now at La Chapelle d´Armentières, where the copper boilers have been moved from the old family estate of Annoeullin to preserve the art of brewing in the old style.

Note: Previously Brasserie Lepers. In 2012 moved from Annoeullin to 199bis Rue Marle La Chapelle-d'Armentières. Acquired by 3F in 2020, moved to the former Gayant premises in Douai, some production done by 3F in Belgium.

This biere de garde is flirting with tripel territory. Nice hazy golden color with slick head, aroma of hay, grass, honey and hops. Taste is wonderful, again like a triple, smooth bitterness, mouthfeel is heavy and oily. Perfect!

Bottle sample at a tasting at kerenmk’s place. Thanks avrashi. As L’Angelus Origin’Ale. Clear golden. Aroma of acetone, cooked fruits, apples, apricots and floral spiciness, a bit soap-like. Sweet and spicy flavor, a bit candy-ish. Light to medium-bodied. Pretty weird.

Dobre farmeńskie piwo górnej fermentacji. Aromat gorzkawo-kwiatowy. W smaku pikantność wyczuwalna po przełknięciu, kolor jakby lekko zmętniony choć piwo było bez osadu.

Bottle courtesy of Deanso. Looks a little like Lucozade but thankfully doesn’t taste like it! Quite highly carbonated amber French ale with a fruity aroma. An interesting bitterness in the flavour with strange aftertaste. A nice enough beer, but might become a little sickly eventually.

75 cl bottle as ”L’Angelus Origin’Ale” @ Gastropub Tuulensuu, BBE 04/2013
It seems that this brewery is actually called ”Brasserie Lepers” and located in Annoeullin
Aroma is rather fruity and strong on apricot. Also some soapy citrus. Flavour has soapy citrus, some apricot, fruit sugar, honey and hints of spices. The sweetness gets stronger towards the end of the glass. Not your typical Bière de Garde, reminds me of De Hemel Marikenbier (which is a Belgian Ale).
