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.

Dark golden colour; medium-thick white head, unstable. Nose gives some alcohol, cookies, malt. After a short while, hops kick in. Beautiful hops' flavour. There is grain underneath, and some sugar as well, but fine hops dominate. Medium-bodied, refreshing. Aftertaste: the hops bade adieu. I like this. This is a simple, straightforward beer, with no pretention but its biological purity. It isn't even unilateral as the balance, however in favour of the hops, is there. GOOD.

Orange beer with golden shine. Yeast in suspension. Thick, slightly yellowish head, relatively stable. Nose of orange rind, spicey (peppery, paprika); weedy - weeds or shrubs in early spring, fresh wood. Citrussy, neutral to sweet taste, some acidity form carbonation. Some spices again, difficult to say what (paprika,allspice,szechuan, pepper, maybe some liquorice). Very refreshing, spritzy, even like a galvanic current in the mouth; medium-bodied. Liqueurish aftertaste. If there are true summer beers, then this is a spring ale. It is not, however, a bière de mars. The beer is "Ecocert" certified, which is probably Europes' severest bio-labelling.
