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.

Bottle, 7%. The label says génevriers (juniper), not lingonberry. Rough aroma, sweet and sourish. Cloudy yellow colour with small chunks floating about. Small stable white head. The flavour starts off sweet with some straw notes. Quite citric, a little sour. OK fruitiness, but not a really good combination. 5 3 5 3 9
Bottle, 7%. Sourish aroma. Almost clear amber colour. Big stable creamy off-white head. The flavour is metallic to begin with. The flavour is also a little sour. Does not taste infected, so perhaps it is just the junipers. 5 3 5 3 10

Found in a 330ml bottle somewhere near Paris. Pours with a very nice head, okay foggy brown colour, lots of carbonation, some sediment. Hey, it’s interesting at least, after a few dozen boring pale lagers I can’t complain. Aroma is hops and coriander, slight alcohol buzz, but very much on the lighter side of the spectrum. Taste is very light, champagne-like, lots of hops as well as caramel, cinnamon, some kind of Christmas spices seem to ease through. This one’s interesting, and worth trying. Unique and not too bad, but feels like a "seasonal" beer.

75 cl bottle purchased in Nice. Slightly dark blonde with an orange tint. Not much head. Sweet, fruity aroma, slight berry scent. Yeast and hops as well. Sweet at first, and fruity (juniper), but turns more bitter and hoppy. Medium body and carbonation. Finish of alcohol, bitter hops, and an underlying malty sweetness. Long bitter and hot taste remains. Much dryer and bitterer than other beers of this type, which I like, but there is something strange about it. Some berry-like fruitiness from the junipers. A good beer, a little strange. Something is not quite perfect in the balance, but otherwise, a good, interesting brew.

75 cl bottle from a supermarket in Paris. Orange-amber color. Very light aroma and flavor, but interesting. Good barnyard flavor, but a delicate amber flavor, plus a bit of sweetness in the Belgian ale manner. Very nice indeed, better than average in this style. Basically a bit sweeter and maltier than others I have had in this style, which, together with decent hopping and the typical barnyard taste, gave it a very nice balance and a lot of interest.
