Hachette Bières

The color is golden, and the fine white foam creates a collar of bubbles on the surface. The nose surprises with its fruity and floral hop notes, usually found in IPAs. On the palate, the effervescence is beautiful, the bubbles burst delicately all around, and the hops are still present, with aromas of exotic fruits and notes of sauvignon. On the second sip, the flavors become herbaceous, greener, and the finish is long. A blonde beer close to the American Pale Ale style, which we suggest calling "Pale Ale Savoyarde" with New World hops." (Le Guide Hachette des Bières)

About the estate:

Brice Leguennec and Pierre François Martin are constantly developing their range, with limited-edition brews that you have to be quick to get your hands on! The success of the permanent range has attracted a loyal customer base, always on the lookout for new products. As the two friends have imagination and energy to spare, they embark on projects with their characteristic touch of madness. One such challenge was taken up by the English with an Under Dog IPA, which involved creating an IPA without using the usual hops, and with at least 20% Target hops. Our brewers rose to the challenge by using 60% Target! Their current research focuses on Russian Imperial Stouts, Imperial IPAs, and barrel-aged beers. Keep an eye out for these new releases. All of their labels have changed and are now flashy with colorful landscapes.
