Cuvée des Trolls is a beer brewed at the Dubuisson Brewery in Pipaix in Belgium and also by the Brasse-Temps micro-breweries in Louvain-la-Neuve and Mons.[1] Its logo is a little troll with a pointy nose who is wearing green hat.[2]
Characteristics
This is a lager beer, filtered or unfiltered, refreshing and scented, with a fuller taste and well balanced, and contains 7% alcohol by volume.[2]
This beer is brewed from sweet must to which hops and dried orange peels are added. This is a beer fermentation (a temperature of fermentation of 23 °C during one week). The beer brewed by Brasse-Temps is not filtered and just decanted, so there is still some yeast. It tastes better served at 3 °C.
It is available in bottle or in keg.
