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.

Pression at Au Trappistes. Light amber color with a fluffy white head. Aromas of malt and spice. Full bodied with mild carbonation. It is spicey in a peppery way. Very light, slightly fruity and extremely refreshing. Finished toward dry. Different, and very good. Note: I don’t disagree with thebeertourist [below].

0,75l-bottle, Village de la Bière Strasbourg. Clear, perhaps slightly hazy deep amber-golden colour with an orangey glow. Small and creamy head. Aroma of malt and spices with a touch of lemon. Gull-bodied, lovely smooth and creamy mouthfeel. Intensively malty with some quite intenive flavours of cardamom pots (with a citrusy touch), cloves and cinnamon. The spices do not taste artificial at all, very good. There are lovely spicy hops in the lingering finish. Thats what I call a Christmas beer, brilliant, brilliant, brilliant. What a pity I only bought one bottle.

Bottle, thx to fonefan. A clear, golden beer with a white head. Malty and fruity aroma, rather boring and weak. Pale malt, sugar and a weak caramel in the flavor. Some bitterness towards the finish. Medium body. Quite quaffable beer, but also quite boring. (080412)
