Description
O'clock Brewing est une jeune brasserie artisanale située à Bois d'Arcy (Yvelines).
The story begins in college and continues until today with the opening of the O'Clock Brewing brewery... Between there were those years when the trio brewed for fun in the parents' garage equipped with the bare minimum and then there were also these trips to several producing countries, particularly in Northern Europe, motivated by their love of the fermented drink.
These three bearded friends and keen on good beers opened their brewery in the industrial zone of La Croix-Bonnet in Bois d'Arcy. The flavors are imagined by Kévin, with five years of experience as a brewer. The three friends want to move away from the French model and offer different beers.

Bue à La Petite Dernière, à Paris. Robe blonde dorée limpide, surmontée d’une large mousse blanc cassé, persistante. Nez éclatant de houblons résineux, avec une belle fraîcheur sur le pin et une base maltée biscuitée en soutien. En bouche, l’attaque est franche : houblon vif, résine légère, biscuit. L’amertume est nette, bien intégrée, avec une profondeur aromatique remarquable. Un ensemble propre, droit, bien exécuté. Très chouette IPA !

Dark chocolate and whisky aroma. Taste is a bit of whisky, a bit of sweet roasted malt, and a bit a dry bitterness.

Bière dégustée en pression. Robe dorée trouble, mousse fine, peu persistante. Nez fruité très agréable, sur les agrumes mûrs et une pointe de mangue. En bouche, l’attaque est douce, veloutée, bien fruitée. L’amertume monte vite en puissance mais reste maîtrisée, bien intégrée. Finale légèrement sèche, avec une belle persistance houblonnée. À 8 %, on aimerait un peu plus de corps pour soutenir l’ensemble, mais ça reste très plaisant et bien construit.
