Commercial Description:
Coup de Grisou was introduced on the market in October 1996. It is a copper-coloured Ale-type beer, containing 5% alcohol, refermented in bottle. With a potent, explosive taste, this beer has a powerful aroma of buckwheat and coriander giving it an unbelievable density. Bottle refermentation imparts a yeast-enriched flavour. Serve between 6° and 8° C, preferably in a hybrid glass.

Golden colourd, hazy. Acidic lightly estery nose. Refreshing and fruity with somewhat soapy mouthfeel. Well balanced. This is just my type of beer, and I really liked it!

Big white head on a golden body. Spicy Belgian-rich aroma. Strong up front malty sweet, quickly turning clean and easy drinking, with mildly sour aftertaste.

Bottle acquired in trade with boutip (thanks!). Poured a medium to darker and hazy golden color with a large to very large sized white head. Aromas of stonger spices, lemons, and light bananas. Tastes of spices (not as strong as the aroma), citrus, bananas and light wheat. The tastes on the softer side compared to the aromas. Refreshing. This is a style of beer I’m growing to appreciate more and more.

Appealing bouquet coming from a dark gold beverage. As it enters the mouth, you feel a mix of spices, definitely coriander, some citrus too that stays in the mouth for some time (you'd wish longer) Overall a very honest light summer beer.

Once a festival of spices…Dancing coriander, giggling ginger, singing buckwheat…These days, it seems they are getting a bit tired…Still worth a try…
