Description
Initiated by 3 young graduates, the Ninkasi was born from a simple idea: to implant the concept of American micro-breweries in France. This project was completed in 1997 and takes place in Lyon, on the Gerland site. In 2012, the factory moved 50km from Lyon, to Tarare more precisely (1 avenue Edouard Herriot). The new playground for our brewers has a capacity of 5,000 liters per brew (i.e. 23,000 HL / year). In 2023, Ninkasi moved to its new brewery, still in Tarare.

Note: The original Gerland location closed for works until 2027.

T: medium malty base, fruity, bit yeasty, bit spicy, peach, bit caramel, medium carbonation, not much for the style as I like it more on the sweet side but not bad beer at least.

Bottle, 0.33l. Aroma is grainy, caramelly, yeasty and ripe fruity. Pours cloudy amber brown color with thin creamy tan-like head and sparkling appearance. Taste starts with light sweet caramel, follows refreshing fruity, grassy and slightly herbal with moderate spicy mouthfeel, toasted malty finish and medium bitter aftertaste. Light to medium body, creamy texture and average carbonation in palate. Not bad but neither outstanding...
