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.

Pours a transparent amber copper with a large, spotty-lacing frothy light tan head. Aroma of toasty biscuity malt and some sweet grain along with a touch of green noble hops. Body starts with a sweet earthy caramel maltiness and good authentic bitter balance. Finishes slightly warming and bittersweet. True to style and enjoyable, but could hide it’s alcohol a little better.

Brown colour. Unclear. A large tanned head that almost disappeared completely. The "champagne" sensation is a bit exaggerated so the flavour almost drowns, but there are qualities to be explored. Malt and caramel shines through.

Poured a hazy amber color with a small off-white head. Malty aroma with notes of caramel, mild fruit and yeast. Malty caramel flavor with some floral notes. Lively mouthfeel.

Bottled. Amber color with large fluffy head. Malty, caramelly, toffeish and lightly fruity aroma with some tart alcohol and vanilla. Sweetish and tart flavor with toffee, caramel and restrained fruitiness. Strongly carbonated. The combination of caramel and tartness is somewhat repulsive.

Amber body with a moderate head, good lacing. Aroma is yeast, caramel, hint of hops. Flavor has some grassy hops in the finish and later some alcohol burn. Not my favorite style, but I didn’t mind this.

Nice 330ml bottle design. Amber coloured body with light toffee aroma. A huge white cap that looks attractive in the glass. Surprisingly moderate palate compared to its strength in alcohol. Fresh apple flavour with a good share of malt and a bitter finish. Hidden alcohol. The flavours blossom as the beer warms up.

Pours bright orange/amber into a tulip. Monstrous, fluffy tan head. Sour fruit notes. Lightly carbonated and smooth. Upfront honey/hay with a lasting caramel finish. Feel (don’t taste) the alcohol.

What makes this style this style? Smells ok, looks ok, tastes ok. For being a wild yeast beer I thought it would be more wild and yeasty. and funky. Pretty balanced with a little hops and caramel in the finish. An average beer.
