The Bruery Jardinier Belgian-style Pale Ale, Brewed and bottled by the Bruery, Placentia, California/
Bright golden color, slim ivory head, highly hazed.
Belgian yeast at play in the nose, musty and fusty, a little wild and funky. Hay, straw, and lemon. A little spice and ever so nice.
In the mouth it's fresh and flavorful, bright and lively. Citrus fruit flavors some spice, a little tart. Light hops, light malt, lean-bodied. It's exactly what it's supposed to be: a low alcohol, exquisitely drinkable, "table beer", for accompanying a meal or passing the day away.
On the label: "Jardinier, which is French for "gardener", is inspired by the fresh, sessionable beers on the Belgian dinner table. A perfect beer for any occasion, casual or ornate. Jardinier is best enjoyed fresh."
On the front: "A bright and flavorful table beer, with an assertive hop character."
Well, that says something. I think it "light hops", they call it "assertive." My threshold is high.
