Noël Des Géants by Brasserie Des Légendes

Rating: 4.5/5

Noël Des Géants by Brasserie Des Légendes is a 8.5% ABV Herbed and Spiced Belgian Pale Ale. Brewery of legends makes beers in a medieval castle in a small French speaking town in Belgium. My friend Rich got this beer a while back. It looked pretty good so I had to find it.

Label:

Unpasteurized, Unfiltered, Bottle-Refermented Belgian Ale. The Brasserie Des Légendes is housed in a medieval castle in the town of Irchonwelz, in the French-speaking south of Belgium. Its majestic gate stands high to allow the passage of the occasional visiting giant … as the town is famous for its annual giants parade.

Belgian and Ginger bread with dark fruits such as plums and raisins are noticeable fore front. Some minor coriander spice and orange peel are in there. Along with some Christmas spices like nutmeg and cinnamon. It has some delicious flavors in the back of caramel, sun flower seeds, mint, pecans and hazelnuts.

The beer is fairly a sipping beer, but the alcohol is nowhere to be found and is well masked. Belgian beer people, see if you can find this one later this year. This one is from last year. Just the fact that you are drinking something that was made in a medieval castle….well…damn …that is just legendary!!
