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.

What a nice surprise this was. Sparkling yellow color with a real barnyard aroma. Tastes of light yeast, orange, toasted malt and nice fruity esters. Medium bodied and lightly sweet. Wish the head stayed a bit longer but it left a sticky lacing all around. Really enjoyable.

Bottled. A sulphorous malty straw-like smell to this copper coloured beer. A very bitter grassy taste with lots of malt also. Quite disappointing.

Poured a hazy gold color with a moderate off white head and nice lacing on the glass. Dusty hay, straw, and barnyard aroma. Taste was also dry and earthy. Some citrus and bandage, and finished slightly sweet and spicy. A nice BDG.

Poured with a huge foamy head. Has lots of bubbles in the bright gold and red body. The aroma is ginger and wet leaves after a rain. Very earthy. The taste is light and refreshing. It is faintly orange tasting with some cinnamon bread and cloves. A very nice beer that make me want to keep coming back to this style.

Golden with a rocky white head and lots of lacing. Nose is small but lots of spice and fruit. Yeast flavors are the thing here, making for an earthy and spiced fruitcake taste.

750 mL (best before October 2004): Beautiful hazed gold with a fluffy off-white head…sweet flowery aroma with a light peppery spice…strawberries, white grapes, honey and slightly malted grain. Sweet airy floral flaovurs of honey dew melong, buttery grain, sweet fig juiuce…luscious and soft mouthfeel…a fabulous barnyard ale!

Pours golden with medium haze. Lots of sediment left in the bottle. Honey is very pronounced in the aroma with a little bread dough following it up. Light fruit, apples and peaches, citrus. Bready, some yeast. Lots more honey. Sweet and sour finish. The beer has to warm to open up at all.
