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.

Bottle. Light amber color. Malty, biscuity aroma. Malty sweet flavor with apple and cookie dough. Too sweet and onedimensional to be a good beer.

On tap at La Capsule, Lille. Hazy golden, small off-white head. Phenolic yeasty, bready, sweet malts. Spicy flavour, phenolic, some gingerbread. Caramely and sugary malts. Very light oxidation. Spicy finish, like a fruit brandy, peppery. Light body, soft carbonation, moderately lasting finish. Round and soft. Nice drinkability and balance. Properly done.

Bouteille(750ml): Golden, almost clear, visible carbonation, small but stable foamy layer, moderate sweetish grainy-dusty nose with a mild fruity touch; mild to moderate sweet flavour with a well hidden bitterness underneath, medium bodied, not overly soft; slightly drier and a tad more bitter grainy and mildly honeyish finish. Well crafted, strong, not demanding...

Flesje gedronken tijdens vakantie in Frankrijk. Helder bier met weinig schuim, gele iets bleke kleur. Aroma is moutig maar heeft ook van een hooiberg. De smaak is fruitig en zoetig. Nasmaak is iets bitter.

Golden colour with quick fading head. Aroma and flavour have light malt sweetness. A little bitterness from hop and yeast. Well balanced.
Earlier Rating: 4/14/2014 Total Score: 3
Clear golden blond. Earthy, hoppy aroma. Flavour has initial sweet malt but backed up with a light fresh hoppiness. Strong peppery flavour in the finish and aftertaste.
