Saint-Monon Ambrée

Brewed by Brasserie Saint-Monon
Style: Belgian Ale
Ambly, Belgium

(Bottled) Opaque orange with a small head. Quite Swaf!-like-spicy, slightly cardboardy aroma with some orange and yeast hints. Sourish, dryish and fruity flavor with hay-flowery, saisony hopping in the finish. Medium-bodied with balanced carbonation. A decently enjoyable, dryish and moderately hoppy ale.

Hazy orange, small steady white head. Spelt, funky barnyard in the nose. Hayish, grassy, quite thin and saison-like craft beer.

(Draught) Fully hazy dark peach to amber; slim white rim for head. Farmyard nose, with some grain and malts, hops and a meaty aroma from the yeast. Mild bitter overlying a sweet, but not cloying main taste, flowery character. Medium bodied, slightly slick mouthfeel, and dry. Nice, middle-of-the-road beer. It has character, without excelling in any particular way.

(Bottle 75 cl) Very pretty amber coloured with a slight haze and a small head. Slightly perfumy nose and perfumy, spicy flavour - coriander? Perhaps a touch of honey as well. Very pronounced bitter finish. Refined and pleasant indeed. Excellent. 120799
