About
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.

Bottle at home, 22nd September 17. Pours golden straw colour. Aroma is light citrus, hoppy for sure. Taste is full, light pine, citrus, good malt, bitter, tasty and refreshing. Lovely stuff especially for the extreme low ABV.

330ml bottle from La Moustache Blanc, Paris. Drunk in our gite, Chissay-en-Touraine. Pours musky, muddy brown, small creamy off-white head. Aroma chucks out some nice peachy apricot fruit, continuing to the taste. Moderately sweet hop profile, creamy with soft malt and very light bitterness. Very good.

Bottle at home, 1st July 17. Pours clear until I dumped the latter part of the bottle in, large head. Aroma is lemon, citrus, pleasant floral. Taste is light lemon, slight bitter, maybe a hint of pepper, bitter linger. Really nice. My 12 rating from this brewery, putting me way ahead of the French raters, same for me in a few other of the other new craft breweries. Come on guys!

Bottle shared. Bit hazy golden with good sized white head. Strawberry milkshake, light toffee, a hint of lime, light grass. Quite some strawberry milkshake hop in here. It’s just Medium sweet and light bitter. Almost medium bodied. Could be a touch more bitter maybe but it’s quite ok.

Tap at La Fine Mousse, 26th April 17. Great selection of beers tonight. This I could catch a whiff off for a while before I drank it, floral big hops, loads of them whafting across the bar. The taste is full on hop delivery, bitter, citrus, floral, not too sweet either for the ABV. Great Hop Hit.
