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.

An unclear yellow beer with a small head. The aroma is sweat with wheat aromas. The flavor is very wheaty, fresh, and light of a 7% abv (as I was told it was). Really a nice flavor - an OK but not a special beer.

Bottled. Amber coloured. Vague aroma of glue and paper. Malty, salty, one-dimensional and forgettable.

Bottled. Pale yellow and hazy. Coriander aroma. Sweet and lightly yeasty with mellow mouthfeel. Clean, spicy finish. Refreshing, but not offering anything extra.

Yellow-gold with greenish shine throughout. Very thick white head, big bubbles, stable. Grain, pale malt, maybe some candi sugar in the nose. Whilst pouring I had a drain-odour, but that was immediately gone. Taste is quite dry, bitterish with an outspoken pale malt underbuild. There is candi sugar. Retronasal, the bitterness definitely gets hopcharacter, together with a cheese-rind flavour. Quite clean palate, medium-bodied. Some alcohol, sugar and dry; no new aftertaste. Overall a rather strong blonde, not yet triple. Clean tasting. Named after a local folk-poet.

Light amber color, generous head. Simple nose, some malt and cork. Reasonable maltiness, better than the Blonde, a light cork touch. Ordinary palate. There is a very light acidity (maybe the carbonation).
The most interesting of these three Abbatiale de Saint Amand

Blond color, generous head. Nice malt nose. Reasonable body strength, some sweetness, a bit corky.
All that to say... too poor.
