Brasserie Moulins d'Ascq
Microbrewery in Villeneuve-d'Ascq, Hauts-de-France, France 🇫🇷
Established in 1999
It takes an average of five weeks to make our beers. They are neither pasteurized nor filtered in order to best preserve their aromas. Their fine bubbles are natural thanks to a refermentation in the bottle. These are beers brewed with respect for tradition, high fermentation and Belgian inspiration.

75cl bottle from Auchan. Orange/red colour with lasting white/pink head. Some red fruit, but it’s got a decent creamy biere de garde underneath it. Not wonderful, fruit is ok. Nice in mouth.

Yellow-gold beer, very hazy, with a small whitish rim, despite lively carbonation. Rainwater - or Drainwater. And maybe, maybe something citrussy. Very uninteresting nose. Dull, grainy, near wheaty (but not quite) taste; no coriander nor citrus, but oxydized (grain, leaves) flavours - BBd another full year ahead! Carbonation being lively, the CO² makes out near all the MF; light bodied, or had you guessed? Surprisingly bland, uninteresting beer. After a few quite good French "blanches" I’d have expected way more from Moulins d’Ascq.

75cl bottle from Franglais, Calais. Hazy gold with generous white head. Yeasty, spicey hop and citrus aroma. Some breadyness. Pleasant in mouth and a little bit of the carbonation that the other reviewers mentioned, or is that just the lemon curd tingling the tongue? Finish is good with cereal, lemon and hop. I really do like bieres des gardes I have decided. They just have a good interesting flavour profile

33cl bottle from Franglais Calais . Green gold colour with thin white head. Cider tainted aroma, bit of rubber, some lemon/lime. Not that great to be honest, I could go on.

There are 2 definite versions of this beer. A filtered and non filtered version. One is bright and very drinkable, although has no sediment, the other with a different label, but same ABV. The first is an easy drinking ambree with good malt and hop balance and very drinkable. In fact it went down without noticing. The second is a different beast. An orange gold dirty colour with a thin off white head with sediment in suspension. Yeasty orange zesty aroma. Really nice in mouth, creamy and zesty at the same time. Boy what a beer.This is incredible. A pleasing drinkable ambree in the filtered version and an in your face biere de garde with fresh spice herb nose, citrus. Gd French Admin anyone?

Bottled. Hazy blonde. Fruity deep papery maltiness. Soft and rounded with salty hoppy finish, but this beer is all about discrete malt flavours.
