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.

Pour une triple française, cette side effect est plutôt pas mal. Si on prend en référence les triples belges, c'est beaucoup plus moyen avec notamment un sucre trop poussé, et un alcool, à 8,6 % qui fait globalement le job sans réellement se démarquer. Le visuel est sur un blond orangé quasi limpide avec une fine effervescence soutenue et une mousse blanche nappant quasiment la surface. Le nez est sur une alliance céréales, miel, pêche et coriandre. Sur l'attaque, une légère acidité se fait ressentir qui est compensé par la sucrosité. La deuxième est à la fois plus douce et épicée. L'arrière bouche est un peu plus sur l'alcool, ce qui fait du bien pour donner un peu de caractère. Bonne présence en bouche et longueur, le tout sans réelle variations. Acceptable, sans plus..

Pint at Hoppy Corner pours a mostly clear orange with a ring of white head. Nose has some punchy hops, some citrus zest, some soap. Flavors follow, I can't believe this is 8.5% because it reads session, honestly, soap and grist. Dry and bitter finish.

On tap at La Binouze, pours a clear gold with some white head. Nose is standard, some malt and grass, some citrus and soap. It's not charming, but not offensive either. Flavors follow, simple grist and grain, some lemon and a little herbal tea. Finishes dry, if not a touch watery.
