Augustijn Grand Cru

Aroma: 4 | Appearance: 4 | Mouthfeel: 4 | Flavor: 3 | Overall: 5

On tap at the Sharp Edge Creek House. Mild sweet candy aroma. Ubiquitous pale yellow american lager color and appearance with just an ever so slight haze. Initial taste hit is rather alky. Difficult to enjoy when compared to the regular Ausustijn. Bitter malty alky bite carries thru the session but it is never ’in yer face’. Some mild carbonation. Controlled, above average slight medicinal lingering alky malt finish.

33cl bottle at Jack of All Trades, Malta. Pours golden with a white head. Fruity aroma with hints of citrus, spices, alcohol and yeast. Alcohol is fairly well integrated. Sweet and fruity with a fairly dry finish. Quite nice, but not a favourite. (2012-09-23)

Bottle: Poured a golden clear yellow with a thick bubbly carbonated head. The aroma is hoppy spice smell. The taste is very spicy opens the taste buds up and then the finish is brutal citrus and alcohol.

Purchased at Liquor Control Board of Ontario store. Part of a holiday 6 pack. A beast of a beer. It pours a hazed golden-orange with a huge white head. Spices, yeast, and citrus dominate the aroma, but notes of candied fruit exist. The flavour starts out with a fruity sweetness, and has a bitter citrus finish with yeast and spice notes. Alcohol was detectable.

Pours a huge foamy bubbly head and dissipates rather quickly to a thin layer that leaves thick patchy lacing. Has a golden appearance. Yeasty, grainy and wheaty aromas. Some spices and resin hops as well. Has fairly fruity flavours, some mild citrus and herbal hops. Excessive carbonation. Smooth and slick mouthfeel. Very good brew.

330 ml capped bottle. Poured in the original Augustijn chalice an unfiltered hazy amber-orange coloured BSA with a generous two fingers soapy foamy head that had a very long retention and tons of micro bubbles. Sustained carbonation. Some lacing. The aroma is strong fruity, green apples, bananas, pears, citrus. The flavour is sweety malts, yeast, spicy, pepper, fruity, apples, citrus. The mouthfeel is fizzy, sparkling, fulled and a bit sticky. This medium to full bodied BSA has a dry fruity finish. A Belgian Strong Ale on the sweety side.

I've never really understand what makes a beer a grand cru and not others. Anyway, this beer is a grand cru. A cloudy golden pour with a generous white head. Definite yeast in the aroma. Flavour is similar, very yeasty with grains and citrus. What were the Belgians thinking?

The beer poured a hazy golden yellow colour with a thick off-white head that lasted. The aroma was grains, light floral scents, citrus, and yeast. The mouthfeel was medium bodied with medium-high carbonation...kind of surprising. The flavour is citrus, grains, yeast...and quite acidic. Not as good as their donker. Alcohol can certainly be tasted.

330 ml stubby bottle, from Voldby Købmandsgård, Denmark. ABV is 9%. Golden colour, huge and lasting white head. Very nice initial fruity and spicy aroma, loses some its impact after a couple minutes in the glass. The flavour is sweet and spicy with noticeable hops, but the alcohol is not too well hidden. Could have been better, could have been worse.
