Breughel Grand Cru

Might’ve had an infected beer, but it was pretty nasty. Typical Trappist yeasts in the nose but the flavour was very dry, minerally, chalky, sweaty with some nasty raw yeast notes. Kind of sour. Drain pour.

Bouteille de 500 ml, acheté le 18/4/08 au Grand Duc (Longueuil, Québec), bu ce soir. Blonde mi-claire, trop gros collet. Arome de malte un épicé de citronné. Goût mi-sûrete, un peu d’agrume, faiblement malté et je ne sans pas le 11% abv, s’il y a tant que ça. Si c’était leur pire bière, je voudrais boire les autres, mais c’est l’opposé!

Bottle: Poured a clear copper color ale with an off-white head with good retention and minimal lacing. Aroma consists of nice peachy fruity ester with light alcoholic phenols. Taste is a mix between some quite enjoyable fruity ester and some medium sweet malt. Body is a bit thin with some average carbonation and light alcoholic notes thought I have a hard time believing this beer to be 11% ABV. By no mean is this a great beer or something that I will buy again but by far not the worst from this brewery.

500ml, l’étiquette mentionne bière blonde, la mienne tirait sur le orange, l’odeur et le goût de médicament (iode) ne m’attire pas du tout, on dirait une bière contaminée par des levures sauvages..après une nuit sur le comptoir la bière est la bière est meilleur, petit goût de caramel.. mais sans plus

Bottle shared with and courtesy of HogTownHarry. Oh boy, a "Grand Cru" from Breughel. Sigh. Pours a hazy copper-orange with a large lasting off-white head. Mild aroma of yeast, spices, faint hops and some sugary sweetness. Can’t detect any alcohol. Flavour of malt, spices, yeast and fruit with a somewhat unpleasant boozy finish. Average bodied. This is much better then all of the other Breughel beers we had tonight but it’s still not very good.
