Description
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.

Botted 750ml. -Courtesy of Marko (thanks!), shared with heavy and him.
Golden coloured, medium sized white head, dusty metallic nose with hint of spices. Sweetish malty, slight spicy and mild hoppy herbal taste with notes of cardboard near the end. Nothing special here.

Amber coloured, medium sized off-white head that went away slowly, spicy and dried fruits (plums) in the nose. Sweetish and perfumed plums with notes of spices (some odd kind of cinnamon). Totally messy one but on the interesting side.

0.75l bottle from a Carrefour in Lille. Brought to Croatia when it couldn’t fit in my luggage by Plavec, whom I thank enough! Shared with the Croatian crew. Poured a misty golden body with a fluffy medium sized white head. Soft creamy nose, some metal, dust and flowers. Sweetish, slightly vinuous taste, light herbal hops, a bit corky. Creamy sweetish ale, highly drinkable, without any flaws, but hardly more than "ok".

Bottle from the Abbaye des Saveurs in Lille, shared with ogivlado and heavy (and huge thanks to Plavec for carrying it for me since my luggage was packed!) Poured some amberoid body indeed with a low off white head. Plum in the nose, malt. Taste is plum jam, even strudel. Strange, interesting, like it!

Bottled. Slightly hazy yellowish golden colour with a small foamy white head. Also some particles floating around. Aroma is fruity, quite herbal and earthy along with some yeast and mild spices. Flavour is being quite similar, ut the maltyness is quite much stronger than in the aroma.

500mL ceramic bottle, pours a more or less clear golden yellow with a towering white head. Various spices and strong yeast dominate the nose, with a little banana and citrus. Flavour is less invigorating, with light yeast, spices and (I agree with manuchampions) something reminiscent of cheap corn adjuncts. Still decent.
