Abbaye de St Landelin Biere de Paques

Brewed by Les Brasseurs De Gayant
Style: Belgian Ale
Douai, France

An orange-amber beer with a lazing beige head - starts out enormous collapses and makes the lazing. The aroma is sweet with both a dusty note from the hops, but also some old fruit notes, I especially think peaches. The flavor is sweet with fruity notes comibined with berries, peaches and strawberries, which in turn is accompagnied by dusty notes of hops. The mouthfeel is very smooth, but the body is thin - especially considering the 6.5% ABV. OK, but nothing special.

(Bottle 75 cl) Beautiful, clear, dark amber. No massive head but it sticks to the glass. Some caramel-notes and some underplayed aroma-hops. Some malt and a rather high carbonation. Technically this is a very well made beer, it just lacks personality. 010505

Amber color. Smells very bad. Tastes of malt, eggs, caramel.

Nice dark amber color and a good head. The aroma has notes of spice and citrus. The flavour is round, floral with notes of fruit and honey and towards the end there is hops and citrus and a lightly dry finish. A light, but nice Easter beer that brings news about spring...
