Commercial Description:
Grottenbier Flemish Ale is a unique ale produced by one of the great Flanders breweries. Pale golden in color with a white, dense foam and a flavor that is soft, creamy and slightly herbal. Aging will reveal new layers of flavor, but Grottenbier Flemish Ale is eminently drinkable anytime! A unique Belgian classic from the mind of Pierre Celis.

Sample pour from WBF in Durham. Bright cloudy golden pour. A little bit of earthy funk, yeast and lemon. Cloves. Solid beer but not amazing. Would like to taste more fully.

Botella. Thanks yespr. Cloudy deep golden with a nice well lasting creamish head. Fruity and yeasty bit spiced aroma. Fruity, yeasty, malty and mildly spiced flavour with some alcohol. Dry fruity finish. Tasty brew indeed.

750 ml (yellow label). Great looking beer poured into a New Belgium goblet. Big, puffy white head on a gold body. Spicy peppery aroma with marshmallow and sweet cloves. Delectable. Light lemon and subtle brett mingles well with the soft pale malts. I can see this beer working well with a lot of different foods but spicy thai shrimp comes to mind.

75 cL bottle. Pours cloudy orange with a lacing white head. Dry yeasty and slight spiced with a mild dry wooden note. Dry wooden and yeasty with a nice mild brettish accent. Caramelish and slight yeasty with a lasting dry finish. Smooth and mellow with a dry accent.
