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.

Bottled. An amber beer with a huge off-white head. The aroma has notes of citrus, malt, yeast, and a bit of caramel - very fresh. The flavor is sweet with notes of malt, caramel, alcohol, black peber, other spices, and yeast, leading to a dry spicey and peppery finish.

0.75l bottle, from enspirit. Clear glowing amber colour with a red touch, small but persistent off-white head. Fruity-spicy nose. Full-bodied with an intensive malty body, perhaps a bit on the sweet side, with lots of spices such as cinnamon, clove, star anis... also hintzs of orange zest, lemon and herbs. A shy touch of vanilla and honey might also be present. The sweetness is balanced of with some shy dry resiny hops blending in towards the finish. A very complex and interesting christmas beer.

0.75l bottle from Village de la Bière Strasbourg France. Clear golden colour with a quickly disappearing fluffy white head. Fruity-spicy nose: peach, violets, vanilla and honey. Intensively malty with some very fragrant hops and hints of vanilla, flowers (violet?), honey, peach, mango and a spicy background. A very interesting perfumy beer, despite its 7% ABV it seems light and summery, highly quaffable.
