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.

Sampled this as Grotten Flemmish Ale. A hazy yellow beer with a thin white head. The aroma is sweet with notes of lemon, and a slight acidity. The flavor is sweet malty again combined with an acidic note. A quite simple beer. Had expected more, since I really enjoy the brown version.

(Bottle 75 cl) Comes as "Grotten Flemish Ale - Pierre Celis Signature Collection" - no less! Pours a hazy golden with an off-white head. Aroma of yeast and sweetish malt. Quite full-bodied with some alcohol presence and a surprisingly solid bitterness that holds all the way through. 200506
