Description
Le Singe savant is an urban micro-brewery, in the heart of the city, located in Lille in the Moulins district.

We brew on a digital 200-liter system built by us and pampered to allow us to achieve all the recipes imagined in our monkey brains.

Beyond the brewing aspect, we make it a point of honor to work as much as possible with organic raw materials, favor short circuits and try to reduce our waste as much as possible.

Very cloudy carmine reddish to peachy pinkish orange beer, small aery irregular big bubbled head, unstable, dissipates quickly. Aroma: peppery, pink peppercorn, Szechuan pepper, Timut pepper, funky, wild fermentation notes, some raspberries, brett notes. MF: lively carbon, medium to light body. Taste: weird, slightly sweet and fruity start, some blackberries, funky fermentation, pretty peppery, bitter, vegetal notes, some pink peppercorns. Aftertaste: dry, spicy, a hint of chilli, vegetal, funky, not an amazing beer, but it is at the very least highly interesting and very original though!

Draught @ Thiriez Hop Fest 2025. First beer of the day and it's a cracker. Pours a hazed deep dark brown, off-white head. Aroma is smokey, spicy with some suggestive heat. Great chili kick on initial sip, with settled smoky undertones emerging. Nice.

Doree/pale, col blanc crémeux.
Arome sur un bouquet assez belge avec des pointes d'esters de banane. Appui leger sur la citronnelle et qcq fins effluves de gingembre en retrait.
Palais sur une belle base de blanche belge, petite pointe de gingembre qui apporte de la fraicheur tout en accompagnant la citronnelle. Apport bien marquee du Sorachi qui confère des pointes d'aneth. Je retrouve tout de même une note d'ester banane en find e bouche. Sympa et bien fraiche.
