Commercial Description:
Née en 1919, la recette de la Géante est relancée et mise au goût du jour par la brasserie Grain d’Orge. Il s’agit d’une bière douce très légèrement amère mêlant des houblons des Flandres, du malt d’orge de printemps et du blé de Beauce brassés dans une eau naturellement riche en oligo-éléments. Elle titre 7,4 ° d’alcool, est vendue en bouteille verre 1 litre avec marquage incrusté et bouchon mécanique en céramique. En hommage à l’histoire de la brasserie, la Géante porte sur le col le nom des fondateurs de la Brasserie Grain d’orge en 1898 : Desruelle-Theetten

Bottle. Amber with an off-white head. Aromas are clean grain and biscuit with some creaminess. Flavours are dry biscuit with citrus. Quite spritzy and fresh with some weak whisky malt notes. Alcohol is evident. Reasonable.

Bottle. Golden beer with a light head. The aroma is malty and lightly dry, and the flavour is lightly dry. Overall a nice dry’ish malty beer.

Bottled. Pale golden with a small, white head. Dry, sourish, grassy aroma. Thin and metallic flavour with to much alcohol.

Shared bottle. Pale golden with very small head. Thin body. Fruity and alcoholic. Reminds me of a simple white wine.

Bottled at 3 Små Rum, Göteborg. Pale golden, absolutely no head. Grassy nose with some corn. Sweet and medium bodied. Very simple: too thin and fruity. Some hay-like hops are there, but it’s overpowered by syrup, alcohol and fruit. Seemingly dead, despite still being young and bottle undamaged.
