First brewed

1999
(since 1993 under its former name, Boréale Forte)

Description

Boréale Cuivrée is a strong beer with a shimmer of coral in its colour and hints of caramel in its bouquet. A smooth, richly flavoured beginning of caramel and fruit gives way to riffs of bitterness and heat as a wilder side kicks up its heels. 6.9% alc./vol.

Ingredients

A double ration of pale and caramel malts, with hop flowers, selected yeast and pure soft water.

Brewmaster’s suggestion

A treat with full-flavoured cheeses, Boréale Cuivrée reveals its full rich taste when allowed to warm a few degrees before serving (12°C). It is also enjoyed well-chilled (6°C) by those partial to its tangy bitter side.
