Brasserie Rivière d'Ain - Rivière d'Ain Rousse
3*Coup de Coeur
Hachette Bières
“This red ale has a deep, opaque, lovely orange hue topped with a thick, creamy, and dense head. On the nose, it reveals aromas of roasted grains and fruit. On the palate, the effervescence is subtle, followed by the rich, velvety texture one would expect from the head. The flavor of roasted grains lends a slightly sweet note, along with a roundness enhanced by hints of chestnut and apricot. The finish is well-balanced, with the hops and malts blending harmoniously.” (Le Guide Hachette des Bières)

On the palate, the effervescence is subtle, followed by the rich, velvety texture one would expect from the head. The flavor of roasted grains lends a slightly sweet note, along with a roundness enhanced by hints of chestnut and apricot. The finish is well-balanced, with the hops and malts blending smoothly together.
About the estate:
Located between the Bugey Mountains, the Dombes ponds, and the Bresse—the region famous for its blue-legged chicken—this brewery, formerly known as Maison de Brasseur, changed its name in the summer of 2015. Its new name is inspired by the river where it was founded. It is now located at the heart of Patrice Pobel’s farm, where he has diversified his barley cultivation to brew his beers. He gives each of his creations a name representative of the Ain region: cultivating the heritage of the place where one lives is, in his view, essential. His beers, which have won numerous awards, are well-known and firmly established in the department. Since 2012, in Vonnas, restaurateur Georges Blanc has been recommending Rivière d’Ain to pair with roasted Bresse chicken.
