Commercial Description:
Made in the tradition of artisan brewers, Sans Culottes is a blonde beer sur lie. Probably the best bière de garde for the uninitiated to start with. Packed in a 75 cls bottle with a wired-down cork, Sans Culottes sports a brilliantly eye-catching label showing a revolutionary soldier proudly wearing his pantalons, having wisely forsaken his culottes for the coming struggle.

Best before Oct 2006. Pours slightly hazy gold into a tulip. Significant bright white micro head. Honey and grass aromas. Fizzy with upfront sweet honey and a lasting bitterhoney finish.

Golden ale with a thin white head. Light herbal malt with caramel notes. In mouth, a sweet malt with light buttery notes, a bit on the cloying side. Mondial 2006. 6-3-6-3-10

Poured a golden-amber color with a nice fluffy initial head. Lacing was solid. Aroma was sweet corn and floral, some spice, light farmhouse. Flavor was excellent, my favorite biere de garde so far. A sweet and crisp musty, earthy, rustic type flavor that finishes with some wood tones and floral notes. Mouthfeel was moderate, smooth, not cloying or sticky, although a sweet beer, yet lightly hopped for the finish. Outstanding.

I haven’t noticed any comments on the apparent "sourness" of this one. I imagine that’s a lactic acid thing from the brewing process. A bit too light for my taste, but I appreciate the "wild" aspect. A bit of a iodine, mineral edge in the background. Nice light , fine carbonation with a slightly oily feel to it.

Clear blonde body with a medium white head. Aroma is sweet, flower garden with a bubblegum note. Taste is honey, white bread and some not very flavourful industrial white cheese. The finish is floury/bready with an oily hops resin flavour. The body is actually rather oily and that’s probably why the beer is without culottes, it won’t stick on.

Robe dorée très claire surmontée d’une mousse blanche qui persiste. Arômes d’iode, de caramel et de levure. Saveurs d’iode, de levure, de bananes, de blé et de fruits.

Honey gold color, with a frothy white head, leaving nice lacing, with a straw note, earthy grainy pale malt accent, with a hint of spiciness in the aroma follows through on a medium-bodied palate with a smooth toasty pale malt, a sweet grainy character, yeasty, hint of flowery hops, with a spicy note, leading towards a sweet earthy spices and low hop bitterness.
