Description
Nestled in the heart of the Jura, the Rouget de Lisle Brewery has been producing beers of character since 1994 with the purest respect for traditions. From childhood, Bruno Mangin, the founder, had a passion for beer. In 1990 Bruno and his wife Roseline opened a unique restaurant concept around beer and offered a menu of 340 beers from 40 countries. They prepare dishes cooked with beer. Their passion for beer being the strongest, they start to "cook their own beers" in their restaurant. Finally in 1994, they decide to produce a range of beers developed on the basis of their own recipes. In 2002, they set up the brewery in Bletterans.

In all, the brewery offers 13 different beers in bottles, part of which is aged in barrels, plus seasonal beers. The brewery produces 6,000 to 12,000 liters of beer per day. Fermentation is a minimum of one week then cellaring for 3 weeks. Then it is filtered on earth. These are unique and rare processes in the production of beer, which explains their quality.

330ml bottle [courtesy of Claudius - thank you very much!]. Cloudy, amber colour with average, dense, creamy, moderately lasting, minimally lacing, white head. Spicy malty and slightly fruity hoppy aroma, hints of cinnamon, vanilla, a touch of grapefruit syrup, whiffs of yellow curry, plum. Taste is sweet-ish, minimally spicy, malty and slightly bitter, fruity hoppy, hints of grapefruit syrup, grapefruit rind, a touch of cinnamon, cinnamon roll.
Minimally creamy, watery texture, smooth, simultaneously slightly dry palate, medium to fine, dense, prickly carbonation.
Though being a bit strange, overall nice nose, nice spicy aspects, rather untypical fruity aspects - OK.

Sights & Swills Summer Holiday Beer#68. PONTORSON. After a day sightseeing around the River Couesnon. Blonde, not quite a session beer but light enough in the palate, also with a soft texture. Hoppy with a tasty hoppiness too.

330ml bottle from Noz, Hazebrouck. Pours a generally clear deep amber orange with a small white head. Aroma of sticky caramelised orange, crystal malt. Crystal malt forward to taste, moderately sweet with some marmalade hints. Very far from an NEIPA, fairly average and messy overall.

Bottle from Beerwulf. Typical French Blond with that floral-ish honey-like aroma. Some malt, fruity notes, a spicy touch, sweet taste, light bitter. Medium body. Aftertaste of honey. Drinkable but sweet without much depth.
