Description
Moulins d'Ascq beers have all come from organic farming since the brewery was created in 1999. 100% of the raw materials used in the design of the recipes are certified organic and produced with respect for the environment.

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.

Bottle. Color: Hazy pale golden, frothy white head. Aroma: Some malt and hop, citrus hints. Taste: Sweetish malt and bittery hop fighting for the win. I believe the malt is winning at first and the hop wins at the finish. Moderate to over moderate sweet and bitter, accompanied by subtle notes of citrus and citrus peel. Pretty dense mouthfeel (oat flakes). Medium body and just under average carbonation. Pretty long lasting finish. Drinkable, ok.

Draft sample @ Bière à Lille (BAL) festival du 09 novembre 2019. Dorée assez légère versant sur le cuivre, col blanc-cassé. Arôme au nez plutôt belge dans la base, malt fumé présent mais restant en retrait par rapport à une composante plus pils - cara. Houblonné noble. Palais est léger, malt classique - ici aussi - une nette approche belge-nordiste type blonde, retrouve un fumé trop en retrait avec une composante presque tourbée. Amertume fine, petit douceur résiduelle, le tout garde un effet métallique - malts pils / et surtout de la levure - cela se ressent bien en fin de bouche.

Bière pression bue à la friche à Lille. Nez malté, beaucoup de levures, des notes fruitées sur de la banane. Bouche avec de la levure et des notes typiques des blondes belges. Comme beaucoup de triples, du sucre mais qui n'apporte pas grand chose. Pas désagréable mais pas géniale non plus.

Bottle on Bretagne holiday, too dark to see how it looks. Light spicy yeast, sugary grains, kardamom, cloves, soft herbs, buckwheat. Solid medium sweet and just medium bitter. Solid medium bodied too. Quite decent for a standard blonde French beer, I’ve had a lot worse.
