229/1210) Home: DeuS Brut des Flanders by Brouwerij Bosteels of Belgium: *1/2; the label on the bottle reads 11.5%,however the sticker the LCBO slapped on indicates 9.7% abv; the nose is yeasty with a touch of cider and peppery spice; towards finish cidery bubbliness makes its presence known; it's a bit like a saison but very floral, with herbal, botanical notes;
There is a bit of a story behind this beer. It is brewed, fermented and matured in Belgium. Then it is shipped to France where it is re-fermented in the bottles and the traditional"remuage" and "dégorgement" procedures commonly associated with champagne take place.
This is another one that was a bit of work to find. The first time it came to Ontario a mere 240 bottles were available and I had no luck at all finding it, even at the price.
