Commercial Description:
Deep burnished gold with a slight haze, Le Fleur Misseur opens with pineapple, clove and honey notes. Dry-hopping produces a flower leaf aroma supported by tones of fresh bread and honey. Le Fleur finishes dry and slightly herbal. Produced for New Belgium coworkers to celebrate our 15th anniversary, Le Fleur has roots in the earliest days of our history. In 1988 founder Jeff Lebesch sat weary on the side of a Belgian road when a young lad passing by picked a delicate yellow flower and offered it to Jeff. “Le Fleur, Misseur?” Jeff misspelled the boy’s comment in his journal as he accepted the offering. A treasured memory, a beer to treasure. Brewed in honor of the New Belgium’s 15th anniversary. It is a tip of the hat to Orval.

Cloudy tan colour. Very fruity, slightly funky, yeasty aroma. Bracinginly dry yeastiness, with a hint of tartness. Too yeasty for my preference.

Draft... RBSG ‘08... Clear, light yellow ale with small, creamy, white head. Excellent retention. Acidic, grainy nose. Medium to full-bodied and syrupy with lively carbonation. Well-balanced, mildly tart flavor with a nice hop bite. Lengthy, crisp, mildly sweet finish.

Bottle courtesy of cavie. Pours a hazy amber with a thin white head. Smells of spice, dry malt, perfumy. Tastes dry and spicy with some nice peppery splashes and some hints of sweet citrus on the finish.

Pale golden pour with a thick stick white head. The nose is quite lovely. Soft perfumey nose with a lovely soft malt base and a kiss of flowers, brett and a nicely flinty minerality. As it warms up the nose really brightens up, shows off flowers, lemon peel, brett and cologne. In the mouth it has lively carbonation and a soft creamy palate. A nice mix of lemon balm, flint and a bit of soft white spice. There is a balance of really good stuff going on in here but there is also an odd deadness on the back of the palate that makes the beer kind of fade away in a strange way. It still smells and looks great, but there does seem to be a little something missing.
