Tasting notes

L’Écume is the beer on which the microbrewery was founded. First brewed on June 3, 2004, this rustic pilsner has stood the test of time thanks to its solid foundation and distinctive personality. Today, we are proud to celebrate its 15th anniversary with a truly exclusive version.

We pay tribute to it by blending a beer aged for one year in barrels with a batch matured for several months in a stainless-steel tank. A final dry-hopping stage reveals noble hop notes, highlights its presence and proudly expresses its island roots. And so, L’Écume 15 cries out loud and clear: “LONG LIVE À L’ABRI DE LA TEMPÊTE!”

This nectar of delectable roundness and exquisite complexity celebrates the 15th anniversary of a microbrewery that I have loved and admired from the very beginning! So many years of passion to produce unique and high quality beers.

Écume Quinze offers jammy flavours (white grape jam, marmalade) and exotic fruit notes (lychees, plums). The very fruity side of the beer is complemented wonderfully by a woody, honeyed flavour with gentle vanilla notes.

In addition, a tender floral bitterness blends perfectly with the cereal notes (brioche bread, butter biscuits). To conclude, a hint of slightly burnt salted caramel enhances the tasting experience.

Although the heat of alcohol is still felt, it remains in harmony with the flavors of beer.

A total success that makes me happy instantly… It’s still 12.5% alcohol… 😉

Thanks to Élise and all her team for fifteen years of great passion!
