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.

L700/09/10/12, bb 30/04/14
Amber color, clean, with creamy head. Nice aroma of malt, some spices, hops, light aroma of fruits too. High carbonation, smooth mouthfeel; mild flavor of caramel and toffee, with a moderate herbal and spicy touch; correct bitterness.
Not overly complex, but balanced and with a few interesting characteristics.

Bottle. Gold, white head that fades to a coat, lots of floating bits. Aroma is doughy with oranges, flowers and spices. Fruity but not all that sweet with oranges and some lemon. Doughy, vanilla, clove, pepper. Dry finish with decent bitterness. Nice balance.

Bottle at JF’s (from Hogsback shop) 28/10/12. Slightly hazed pale golden with a thin white head. Carbonation evident. Nose of Belgian yeasts, hops, floral tones. Taste follows, a little brett and funk, citrus tones. Medium bodied wiht spritzy carbonation leading to a dry and bitter finish. Drinkable drop and better than I’d anticipated!
