Herbe à Détourne | Brasserie Dieu du Ciel!

Herbe à Détourne is an outstanding beer. It packs a wallop of flavour; there’s just so much going on and the balance is fantastic. Well worth seeking out if you like beers with Belgian yeast character.

Péché Latte | Brasserie Dieu du Ciel!

Péché Latte is a great beer. Yet, it’s among my least favourite Péché editions. The beer ends up being too sweet even with the alcohol and hop bitterness rounding it out. Having said that, this is a well-executed beer which I’m sure works really well for some people. Plenty of flavour and no major issues.

Alfheim | Brasserie Artisanale Albion

Alfheim is an outstanding sour beer with a beautiful sense of restraint. I could finish a whole bottle on my own and not feel overwhelmed. Superb balance, good drinkability, and a touch of intrigue make this a beer worth seeking out. Highly recommended.

Péché Mortel – Sierra Nevada de Santa Marta | Brasserie Dieu du Ciel!

This variation of Péché Mortel is no doubt a world-class stout. Without a direct comparison, it’s hard to say how much it varies from the regular Péché as the only changed variable seems to be the coffee type. In any case, this edition delivers a stellar drinking experience and it’s well worth seeking out.

My Lord | Brasserie Artisanale Albion

Overall this is a great beer. There’s a lot of flavour presented in a balanced and complex whole which on its own is enough reason to try this. The appearance is lacking just like the mouthfeel. If those were improved, this brew would stand out.

Chevalier Vert | Brasserie Artisanale Albion

Albion does it again. This beautiful brett pale ale really stands out.

It’s missing the intangibles of a world-class brew, but it’s well worth seeking out. The beer is delicate yet characterful and it boasts fantastic drinkability with superb balance.
