Founded 1997 by Claude Berri, Gérard Depardieu, Renaud, and Miou-Miou after making the film Germinal in Valenciennes. The brewery was called Brasserie des Amis Réunis, and located in a former slaughterhouse. It became the Brasserie de Saint-Amand-les-Eaux in 2002. In 2005, after a closure due to liquidation, the brewery was taken over by Jean-luc Robert Butez (owner of International Breweries and Beers), and opened again under the name of Brasserie des Sources.

Pours dark brown, topped with a larger foamy head, beige colour. Nice tropical fruit aroma with some gentle roasty notes. Solid bitterness, quite some roasty character and soem yeastiness and herball taste. Shorter aftertaste, medium body. Too yeasty for my liking.

Bottle. Sprucetips, citrus, candy, catpiss. Not bad. Not good either. I have no patience left for this sort of candy IPA.

Bottle at a tasting at Beermalade. Loads of caramel, light cocoa/coffee. For some reason I get assertive lavender in flavour. The hops are muddled, both in terms of bitterness and character. I do not get much. Orange gelatine candy if anything. Not bad, but extra weird. And unbalanced.
