If you know me or of me, you will know I like beer. Over the last few years I have been collecting photos of every new beer I have.
I now have over 2,000 individual beers photographed and have realised that many beers that I assumed I have photos of, I haven't.

This blog will be therefore be an account of my quest for new beers to photo and how I enjoyed them (or not).

Some of the Beers form our September trip to France

I though a would review the beers from our France Sep 2013 trip,  these are some of the new beers I found on this trip to Picardy and Paris. We had quite a variety of beers between us some good and some not so good, so here we go and once again, in no particular order.

Haacht, Mystic Witbier met Krieken from Belgium

Haacht, Mystic Witbier met Krieken, Belgium

3.5% cherry flavoured wheat beer, red colour with a good head, sweet cherry aroma, sweet cherry taste, not for me but Dot liked it.

Coq Hardi, Blonde from Belgium

Coq Hardi, Blonde, Belgium

5.5% gold colour with a good but fast dispersing head, malt aroma, slightly sweet lager taste. Thought it might work like Viagra.

Jenlain, Ardente from France

Jenlain, Ardente, France

3.1% deep pink colour with a nice head, summer fruits aroma, strawberry and cherry taste, another one for the girls.

Brouwerij Moortgat, Maredsous 6 Blonde from Belgium

Brouwerij Moortgat, Maredsous 6 Blonde, Belgium

6.0% hazy gold colour with a thin head, sweet yeasty aroma, slightly bitter sweet fruity yeast taste, very good beer and not really a new one to me but we had it in Paris.

Grimbergen, Rouge from France (yes France not Balgium)

Grimbergen, Rouge, Belgium

6.0% very deep red in colour with a nice head, the aroma is of red fruits the taste is of sweet strawberry, yet another one for the girls although this one is a lot stronger.

Bretagne, Britt Blanche from France


4.8% cloudy gold colour with a thin head, yeasty aroma, slightly sweet yeast and coriander taste, very nice.

Bretagne, Britt Blonde from France


6.0% hazy gold with a poor head, hop and yeast aroma, nice citrus yeasty taste.

Brasserie de Milly, Rebelle from France


5.5% hazy amber colour with no head, not much aroma and it was fizzy and slightly sweet.

Bretagne, Britt Gwiniz Du from France


5.4% amber colour with no head, caramel malt aroma and nice caramel malt taste.

I have a load more of the bottles I bought still to drink and I think some of these bottles are from our previous trip to France in May.  In fact it could be quite some time before I catch up on the rest of the bottles and cans from both trips to France in 2013.
