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.

Fleeting whitish head over clear metallic, pale-copper beer. Smoked, but also some raw vegetable tubers, as cabbage, kohlrabi or beets - no doubt the gentiana; earthy-vegetable. Sweetish-malty, again the gentian suggesting smoked. The veggie/tuber aroma penentrates into every new sip, even though the taste doesn’t really carry it. Bit strawlike, drier finish. Very spritzy, near fizzy, despite no visual proof hereof. Light body, feels oversaturated. Interesting, but rather no repeat, thanks. Leave the gentianaroot for Italian liqueurs, maybe? Thanks to Stef!

ChrisOs Marvellous Pre GBBF Mega Tasting. Light amber coloured beer, little white head. Dry palate. Dry pale malt. Some dried fruits but overall dry and papery. Don’t think I’ve had a worse French micro beer. Very disappointing.

A murky dark amber ale with milky hues, and a thick receding mocha head. In aroma, a sweet nutty malt with peaty notes, a bit of boiled corn. In mouth, a smooth peaty malt with light smooth acidity, light treacle, nice. Bottle is about 1 yr old, from Paris.

Bottle at Chriso’s Pre-GBBF Shindig. Pours bright gold with some sediment and a fine, white foam head. Some chili and smoke in the nose. Light sweet flavor, mild caramel, peppery smoke, faint dry leaves. Light in body with prickly carbonation. Lightly sweet to finish with a bit of caramel, toasty sugars and capsicum (without the heat). Interesting one.

Bottle at Chris O’s pre-GBBF shindig 2012. Not much nose, bit of citrus I suppose. Baked apple and citrus flavour. Unenthusiastic about this one.
