Commercial Description:
Bottle; Unfiltered.
Gavroche was a generous and rebellious Paris urchin and a character in the Victor Hugo (1802-1885) novel “Les Misérables.” It is also a strong, amber beer, where the flavour of its top-fermentation yeast combines perfectly with the taste of the special malts. Fermented again in the bottle, the Gavroche beer should be served with care between 10 and 12°C.

Bottle. Pours hazy amber with a huge beige head that lasts ages and also lots of chunks. The aroma is light but has notes of malt, caramel, honey and citrus. The flavour has a slight tartness to it and has yeast, citrus, malt, caramel and a little woodiness. Medium body, with high carbonation, and a long bitter finish. Very nice.

Botte (in NZ). A very lively pour - a hazy but bright orange-amber with a massive foamy head. A subdued nose, a little spicy alcohol and hint of nut. Generous mouthfeel, with plenty of alcohol bite on the palate. Again the flavours are quite subtle - only notes of caramel and hop fruit, but plenty of yeasty spice. Not quite to the same standard as the 3 Monts.

Bottle. Orange beer with a tall foamy head. Nice caramelly and hoppy aroma. Sweetish flavor with some nice hoppy bitterness. Medium body. Feels fizzy in the mouth.

Hazy orange colour with big white head, very lively. Caramel notes on the nose. Thin body. Fruityyeasty flavour and hides the big alcohol.

21/10/2009. 33cl bottle courtesy of TheGrandmaster. Gorgeous deep rose gold, just off-brilliat, with a huge cream airy head. Pretty clean... Caramel and subtle stewed fruits, with a surprisingly warm alcohol note. Tidier in the mouth, where it seems like a bock fermented with a subtle ale yeast... slips down way too easily. Pretty nice but I can’ figure out if it’s a bus stop beer for those classy French or a beer worthy of its literary association... I like anyway, as confusing as it is.

Bottle 33. Amber beer with huge head. Very pleasent beer with an amaising yeast flavour and very malty. The taste is near to some black beers. Nice Belgian style ale.
