Grottenbier Flemish Ale

Brewed by St. Bernard Brouwerij
Style: Belgian Ale
Watou, Belgium

Bottle. Orange label. "Flemish Ale." Sweet and floral aroma. Some orange peel and a touch of sour yeast as well. Pours murky orange with a thin white head. Quite dry on the palate with the yeast at the forefront. Slightly fruity with some wheat sweetness and a hint of spice. Medium bodied. Lively carbonation. Finishes with a kick of dry spicy and sour yeast.

Thanx to Boboski for sharing this.Pours a cloudy golden color with a nice lacing head.The nose is floral, lavender and spicy.Flavor is tart and spicy, a real gum biter with a peppery finish.

Courtesy boboski. Pours a cloudy light orange, with a small white head. Smells of Belgian yeast and slightly acidic fruits, with a hint of sourness. Very malty and sweet smelling. The flavor is much the same. The malts and fruits seem to blend together nicely, but this wasnt very sour to be called a flemish ale. Tasted more like a Belgian tripel if you ask me. Certainly misleading name. The flavor is big on the yeast characters, a little bit of tartness and acidity, but its barely there. Still enjoyable, but needs to be labeled a tripel in my opinion.

Bottle… Murky yellow ale with a small, creamy, white head. Excellent retention. Herbal, floral aroma with notes of sassafras and lavender. Lightly acidic and grainy as well. Perfectly balanced flavors of pale malt sweetness, acidic tanginess and hop bitterness. Herbal and a tad salty. Medium-bodied with lively carbonation. Herbal, lightly bitter, salty finish. My sample was courtesy of boboski

bottle thanks to boboski: pours a slight hazey orange-yellow with a medium white head, small amount of lacing. aroma started sour for a brief moment then went into the mellower aromas fo wheat, some floral notes, yeast ans spice. flavour is yeasty and wheat. some hints of floralness. kind of weak and no signs of the hint of sour in the aroma.

thanks to boboski! Sweet malts on the nose with a little belgian spice. The flavor sreams of brewery a’chouffe, but with a little tartness. Not so sour but good beer!

Courtesy boboski. Cloudy straw color with a thin broken white head. Sweetish herbal/floral aromas, some sour malt and yeast characters also. Medium-bodied. The taste is not very sour and has a lot of tripel characteristics. The finish was moderately dry and had a little spice to it. Interesting.

Thanks Boboski! Pours a hazy golden color. Aroma is slightly tart and floral, touch of sour citrus. Flavor is crisp and seems a touched spiced. Interesting.
