Day 190: July 9, 2015
Diary entry:
Today involved a full-day offsite workshop for work. Kinda made me feel good to hear that the only reason this workshop was delayed until today was so I would be back from holiday and be able to attend. Not too often I hear stuff like that.
A good session, and I think we accomplished a bit. Still some work to go though. Big decisions need to be made properly.
The Beer:
Name: Bellerose Bière Blonde Extra
Style: Blonde Ale
Producer: Brasserie des Sources
Alcohol content: 6.5%
Bottle size: 0.33l
Purchased from: Our road trip through France back in May.
A very decent blonde. A nice blend of bitterness and fruitiness. Very well balanced and enjoyable.
Commercial Description:
Bellerose draws its inspiration from the 1950s era, a period during which beer was still intensely hoppy and stoutly refreshing. The use of an innovative cocktail of 3 hops brings to Bellerose a distinctive aroma of citrus & litchi with a refreshing aftertaste.
Top fermented beer using three hops from three different continents. It is a mix between French sweet bière de Garde and innovative IPA, we like to call it: “The French IPA”.
