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.

The color is a dark redish brown that is non transparent there is also no head at all. The nose has a nice tart aroma with cherry and other dark fruits. Initially there the beer is nice and tart with cherry and black currant. The beer has a nice finish that consists of toasted caramel malt and fruit. Overall it is a nice and refreshing beer and i just love how they mixed the tart and sutle fruit flavors so well.

This hazy golden ale poured with a decent white head and a musty aroma. The flavor is caramel malt with lots of spice, predominately coriander, leaving a yeasty taste on the palate.

<b>Bottle 75cl.</b><br />Unclear medium yellow color with a average, frothy, fair lacing, mostly diminishing, white head. Aroma is light to moderate malty, spicy, moderate yeasty, coriander. Flavor is moderate to light heavy sweet and moderate bitter with a average to long duration. Body is light to medium, texture is watery, carbonation is soft. &#40;050908&#41;

Pours a light cloudy amber with a thin but very persistent head. In fact, the off-white head is one of the high points of this beer. The flavor starts sweet and finishes just sour, with a hint of bitter in the aftertaste. Good aroma, simple but decent flavor with enough complexity to make it worth while. Not as good as Grotten’s other offerings, though.

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.
