St-Feuillien Grand Cru
Grand Cru is a speciality beer carefully crafted by Belgium’s St Feuillien Brewery. This extra-blond amber nectar masterpiece undergoes refermentation in the bottle, resulting in a beer endowed with unforgettable character. The secret lies in the unique combination of the most noble hops and the finest aromatic ingredients. Grand Cru differs from other beers in the range by its absence of spices. Its full, white head is light and frothy, and when poured it creates a subtle lace effect.
The very pale colour of Grand Cru lends clarity and brilliance to its body.
Grand Cru’s delicate nose is a veritable cascade of hoppy aromas with hints of fruitiness coupled with subtlety and sheer richness.
When savoured, the first sip is light and intriguing. The next impression is one of a slight bitterness full of captivating nuances. When it hits the palate, Grand Cru creates a lingering moment of hoppiness, rounded off by an intense yet pleasant bitterness.

Malty; straw, bread. Quite dry. Good balance. Sweet-bitter yeasty spicy hoppy fruity. Complex. Rather good. Enjoyed this. (2022-07)
Golden with a big head that eventually dissipates, leaving a medium head. Slightly sweet and full bodied. A classy beer beer that needs to be seriously respected. Enjoyed this one a lot.
Witte kop, helder lichtgeel, licht bittere florale geur, granige licht bittere citrus smaken. Sprankelend mondgevoel.
Pour is a hazy gold with a huge white head. Aroma is a flowery and parfumy yeast ester. Flavor is clover honey with a nice green herbal hop. Finish is bitter on the back end and no alcohol is felt. A mix between a saison, triple and golden strong. Not a cheap bottle of beer but well worth to try for those that like this style.
Golden pour with a decent head and decent carbonisation. Aromas of hops, herbs, white bread, some banana. Tastes similar with a short bitter aftertaste. The ABV carries the flavours nicely. Liked it.
Een dikke Belgische Ale die zijn naam aan doet. Honing zoet en sterk met intens veel koolzuur. Wat je bij zo'n honing zoete rakker ook wel mag verwachten. Honing moutige zoet redelijk droge smaak. Niet echt dorstlessend maar je kan er wel geweldig dronken van worden. Waarbij de droge bek vooral de volgende morgen volgt. Licht fruitig honing moutig geurend met een licht wazige kleur en een volle witte schuimkraag.

Nice and hoppy aroma. Little bit like a nastro azzuro. Dispute the high alcohol percentage, nothing in the taste, also just little yeast in the taste. Drinks good at chilled temperature, but not a fat drinking beer.
Mooi gebalanceerd.
Servida en tulipa. Disfrútala con calma ,deja que coja temperatura y embriagate con sus aromas 'belgas'... una delicia.
33cl bottle from hopt.it, France. Pours loaded gold, transparent, with large white bubbles. Aroma is intensely yeasty, orange peel, spiced, cereal. Body is slightly dense, but moderated by intense carbonation. Taste is medium-high sweet. Final is fairly short.
330ml bottle from We Brought Beer, Tooting. Hazed blonde beer. Aroma has definite leafy hop nose with banana and clove. Nice, full body with lots of spicy flavours. The hops come through as pure dank and work really well.
Fruitig biertje, best wel lekker. Schuimig. Goed te drinken.
Ampolla 33 cl Hopt. Maltosa, un pèl massa dolça, punt especiat final. Alcohol present. Tot i així, prou bona
11.2 ounce bottle at The Winking Lizard in Copley, Ohio. Smells yeasty. Bright golden in color with white foamy head. Taste sweet, yeasty, and is smooth. Well balanced. Yeast aftertaste. Very nice beer! Cheers!
Aroma: Hay, hops, malt. Feels a bit "empty".
Appearance: Clear straw with huge white head.
Taste: Very sweet with long lasting bitterness. Well hidden alcohol.
Palate: Medium body, average carbonation.
Overall: Too sweet, lacks complexity. Not very good.
11.2 ounce bottle shared by J.T.at the 1/9/22 Prohibition Speakeasy tasting. Clear gold, thin creamy white head, good retention. Aroma of green, dank hops, bready malt, stone fruit. Taste is bready malt, stone fruit, candi sugar, green hop. Full body.
Bière achetée chez Leclerc Templeuve. Robe blonde, une myriade de fines bulles et une mousse très persistante et abondante. Nez sur le caramel, en bouche c'est frais, les premières gorgées se boivent facilement et plus on boit, plus on sature de sucre... Bref, c'est pas la folie et c'est trop alcoolisé, elle monte très vite à la tête.
750 bottle. Labeled as dry hopped. Light hops. Initially the aroma thought this might be similar to a saison but it is more mild. Dry, a little herbal. Does not taste or smell of alcohol but this sneaks up later. Very well carbonated.
Shared 750 ml. bottle at Lunar Brewing Co. poured to a snifter showing a hazed, orangey/gold color, with a sudsy layer of white froth that reduced to a ring & bubbly film, with foamy spots of lacing. The nose was pit fruit and pear, with subtle Belgian spices, and complementary sweetness. Medium bodied, the taste was similar but more expressive notes, with lively effervescence, well integrated alcohol, some earthy astringency, and finishing dryness. Very nice.
Robe blonde col de mousse blanc , petite bulles fines. Nez sur le citron , épice ( poivre et coriandre ) et fleural , banane , petite notes alcoolisé
En bouche , petite amertume , fleurs , épice à nouveau.
Bouche assez dense. Prend des notes au fur et à mesure qu'elle se réchauffe.
Très beau nez , on se perd plus en bouche.
Bière blonde avec assez peu de mousse. On sent bien la rondeur des bières Belges, ce côté caramélisé, mais celle-ci est également assez fortement tournée vers des saveurs florales et herbacées.
Finally got around to this, about 7 years past the due date. Still a decent drinker. A Belgian standard, a little muted.
28.8.2021: 330 ml bottle at home, 9.5% ABV, bb. 21.3.2022, bought at La Mise En Biere, Lausanne. Pours a clear straw-yellow with a large white head. Aroma of grass, hay, straw, light metallic notes, sweet grains, some cereals, some biscuit and very light fruity yeast notes. Medium to full body with a fizzy carbonation, a medium sweetness and a light to medium bitterness. The flavor is medium malty, lightly yeasty and lightly to medium hoppy - sweetish pale malt, biscuit, sweet bread, hints of floral hay, some spicy yeast notes, bitter herbal hop notes, some sweetish pear, some hay. Finishes with a light residual sweetness and a light to medium-light hoppy bitterness.

(Rate 19/06/21: 8-4-8-4-16 = 4.0)
Bottle 75cl pours clear golden with a stable white head. Aroma is blond malts but mainly much spicy yeast. Taste is nice, mild bitter, not too sweet, also spicy. Firm carbo. This is a fine tripel.
(Re-rate 30/03/23: 7-3-8-4-15 = 3.8)
Bottle 33cl this time. Light-golden pour with firm white head; good retention. Same spicy yeasty aroma (sometimes weak) and spicy mild-bitter soft-sweet taste; the late aftertaste seems a bit dusty. OK carbo, firm body. Nice tripel still, but a bit more nuance in my rate.
Sweet, with a greater bitter aftertaste
Niet zo lekker
The label on this one says dry hopping. The labels are more than a little confusing. They have another beer whose style is a grand cru, while this one that is called a grand cru the style is strong ale. The aromas and flavors on this are yeasty and spicy. Very nice balance between bitter, sweet and carbonation. Outstanding body and carbonation with a very good finish. Great beer!
It's nice but the high alcohol content is really noticeable.
