The "Brasserie Caracole" traces it's history back to 1766 when the brewery was called the Brasserie Moussoux and then changed it's name to the Brasserie Lamotte in 1941 until eventually being taken over in 1992 and the name changed to Brasserie Caracole. They are based in Falmignoul, Belgium and are known to heat their water in a wood oven.
It has a cloudy dark yellow colour with a big head filled with big bubbles.
The smell is filled with yeasty, malty, floral, citrus and spice notes all mingling together.
The taste starts clean with some bitterness of the hops apparent with the malt and yeast coming in the middle and the finish is all malt and hops with a little spice note.
It drinks lighter than you would expect with its cloudiness.
It's a really nice complex and flavourful beer that drinks far cleaner than it's 7.5% or 8% ABV would indicate. I found it to be quite refreshing, it is defiintely worth a try.
