This beer was purchased at the grocery store and saved for an afternoon picnic with Amy in one of Brussels largest parks. The beer, an organic white beer, is brewed by
Ginette beer, a brewery that apparently specializes in organic products and also makes a blonde and a fruit beer. I simply picked it up because I had never seen it before and thus had never tried it. It is a white beer but on the lighter side. It is 5% abv and we enjoyed these straight from the bottle with a few cupcakes from
Cafe de la Presse at Bios de la Cambre on a warm and slightly sunny day (seems the best that Belgium ever gets as far as weather goes). I asked Amy to take a few notes on this one and her thoughts are below.
The aroma was difficult to observe since we were drinking from bottles and through the dark glass it appears light but cloudy. The feel is smooth and the taste is unoffensive. It's not really that flavorful but it did pair nicely with the cupcakes-one which had a nice raspberry filling surprise.
I also enjoyed one of these that was left in my fridge a few days ago and would agree with Amy's assessment. It's not a fabulous beer but also not bad. It's light and easy to drink, perhaps a decent choice if you value organics.
