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.

An orange beer with a fine white head. The aroma is sweet yeasty. But the flavor is not good - it is a very weird fruit flavor.

(Bottle 75 cl) Pretty, golden, slightly hazy with a decent head. Very full-bodied with a fruity sweetness and a distinct alcohol glow. Lightly perfumy with a hoppy finish. 261201

75 cL bottle. Pours clear and golden yellow to orange with a lacing white head. Light spiced malty aroma. Flavour is light malty with a spice note. Ends with a light fruity note.

Bottled. Hazy golden, brief head. Aroma of toffee and paper. Medium bodied with rather lively mouthfeels. Grassy hops along with herbal spices and a lot of orange peels make up most of the flavour. Salty finish. A well balanced, typical north French ale.

Soft, creamy, fruity (peach), and lots of subtle flowery hop (roses?). Beautifully balanced and very elegant. This is a very aromatic beer - flowery, fruity, with some malt towards the end. Reminds me a bit of Veuve Cliquot.

Re-rate: Perfumey, peachy, appley aroma with biscuity malts. Light malt underpins pearlike fruity notes. The yeasty toastiness is not here this bottle (it is not bottle-conditioned). Alcoholic note late. Not as complex nor as flavourful as I remember. Still good, but no longer great (this corresponds with a bottle I had a couple years ago but did not re-rate).

Clear golden with a medium white head. Rotten aroma with yeasty and malty notes. Flavour was rotten and cellary wit toasted malt and vegy notes. Awfull.
