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.

(330ml bottle) Purchased at Spinnakers Spirit Merchant in James Bay, Victoria, British Columbia for $3.69. Pours a lasting large frothy almond-head with a copper body. Nose of cherries, fig and raisins. Flavour is surprisingly malty-rich, cherry oak wood. Very delightful. 7/4/7/3/15

Beautiful, reddish brown beer with big blond and head. Aroma is sweet, some berries, grass and slightly dusty. Flavour is malty, peppery, spicy and surprisingly slighlty roasted. Quite nice and slipery to drink with nice carbonation. Balanced beer without mistakes, but on the other hand, there are not so much to remember or actually there is a beautiful appearance.

The bottle poured tawny red with fluffy tan head, into a snifter. Fair retention and good lacing, the aroma has nice caramel and yeasty, bread crusty notes. I like the balance between alcohol, intense caramel and hoppy acidity. And it opens up nicely with a bit of warmth. One of my favorite French brews to date.

Nice red amber color, transparent, fluffy beige head. Sweet nose of honey, yeast, pepper, sugar. Slightly metallic. Flavor is very yeasty, still rather sweet with sugar, apple, some grassy hop bitterness that follows through to the finish. Pretty tasty stuff, though it doesn’t seem to have realized its potential.
