Commercial Description:
Maltesse est la toute nouvelle bière de la Brasserie Castelain. Déjà récompensée d’une Médaille d’Argent au Concours Général Agricole 2007, Maltesse sera commercialisée à partir du 30 mai dans le réseau Grandes et Moyennes Surfaces. Maltesse est une bière blonde aux reflets dorés. Sa mousse est particulièrement dense et onctueuse. Bière finement pétillante et rafraîchissante, Maltesse, la reine des bières, allie des parfums riches et puissants qui laissent en bouche un goût fruité d’un grand raffinement. Maltesse est une bière de fermentation basse. Son degré d’alcool (7.7% Alc. Vol.) et sa garde longue, en font un produit riche et puissant dont la recette semble avoir traversé les âges. Afin de profiter de toute sa saveur, il est conseillé de la tenir au frais et de la déguster à une température de +/- 6°C dans son verre préalablement rincé et non essuyé. Maltesse est proposée sous deux formats : en bouteille 75 cl (sortie fin mai) et en boîte 50 cl (sortie mi-juin).

canned - cloudy blond-orange colour with a persistent white foam leaving a correct lace, aroma of honey and dust with notes of apples in the background, full-bodied and sweet, sticky, a touch of acidity brings some balance, long malty and honeyish finish - a nice warming beer

Canned - GBBF2008. A golden beer with a white head. Grassy hops in the nose. Butter and some hops in the thick chewy body.It’s ok, and tastes like a strong golden ale to me.

Canned (thanks Rob!). Yellow colour, small white head. Aroma is malts, alcohol and some fruityness. Flavour is fruits, mild malts and hops along with some mild spicy notes. Aftertaste is mostly fruity and spicy. Also has some alcohol in it the flavour.

Bottle. Golden beer with a strong head. The aroma is warmly lightly spiced, and the flavour is spiced and warmly vinous. Overall a standard tasting belgian style beer.
