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.

27/VII/24 - 44cl can from Geers (Oostakker), shared @ Ardennes Holiday, BB: IV/2025, lo 30298 (2024-615)
Clear gold orange beer, small creamy white head, unstable, a bit adhesive, leaving some lacing in the glass. Aroma: nice, gentle fruitiness, pears, a bit funky, a malty touch, some tropical fruits, juicy. MF: ok carbon, medium body. Taste: very malty start, pretty sweet, gentle bitterness, more malty, fruity. Aftertaste: mainly very malty, grains, very bitter, caramel touch, a hint of banana. Pretty disappointing for an IPA.

Can from Monoprix, Perigueux, drank after a day enjoyed in the city. Golden in colour with a head. Tropical fruit aromas, although a little lesser in taste as it's a tad strength infused, but the fruits remain prominent.

Bottle brought back from Lille by my boss. Aroma has cloves, light banana and unintrusive hops. Cloudy-opaque amber. Thin foamy translucent white head. Light-medium sour with herbal bitterness. Light hops add to the latter. Develops a sweet banana and fruit finish. Light. Slick if thin. Soft-fizzy carbonation. Long dry slightly astringent finish. I like. Heading towards Hopfenweisse territory.
