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.

Bottled (backlog). Reddish deep amber colour with a mediumsized off-white creamy head. Aroma is spices,some alcohol, mild sweet malts as well as some toasted notes. Flavour is quite similar, but also has some burnt sugary and mild yeasty notes to it.

0.5l can shared with ogivlado and Iznogud (thanks Ogi!). Golden body, white head. Canned by Jenlain. Err... the aroma shows a nice Belgian presence with some herbal hops on top but completely annihilated by a huge metallic note. Taste... creamy Belgian yeastiness, light herbal hops. Thankfully weaker metallic note. Not bad really for a canned beer, but that off flavor offsets it.

33cl bottle from M&S. Pours a surprisingly clear golden/blonde colour, no sign of any yeast floating around, very thin white head which fades away quite quickly. Aroma: sweet malt, citrus, banana, yeast, honey. Taste: sweet malts, citrus fruit, yeasty, spicy, slight hop bitterness coming through in the finish. Medium-full body and mouthfeel, medium carbonation. A good drinkable beer, not outstanding but considering how cheap this is (£1.49) in the UK it’s pretty good for the price.

Bottle at cgarvieuk tasting. Appearance - pale yellow. Some head. Nose - meadow flowers and yeast. Taste - more of the same. Palate - light bodied and fairly fresh throughout. Overall - very light and didn’t make an entrance really. Like a very light biere de garde.

Bottle - Sweet honey and herbal notes. Clear gold with a rich white head. Light sweet malts, touch of honey and a dry light bitter finish. Nice, but nothing special.

Clear caramel color with a fine big frothy off white head. Ok intensity in the aroma. Medium (+) body and an average carbonation level. Tad sweet and a moderate bitterness. Decent complexity in the flavor. Fruity, some yeast, malty, mild citric and some spices.

330ml bottle from Auchan. Pours a lightly misty amber, large off-white head. Aroma hints towards earthy malts with a light sweetness. Taste is rather tame malts with faint yeast and even fainter juniper berries. For a biere de garde it’s nice enough, but not really hitting the high notes.
