Review – North Coast Cru D’ Or
Submitted by Dan on January 30, 2009 – 12:41 pm No Comment
North Coast Brewing Co. – Cru D’Or Organic Belgian Style Ale – 12 oz bottle poured into a New Belgium glass. 8% abv. Purchased at Whole Foods Pasadena, Hastings Ranch.
Appearance: Dark leather brown with a 1/4 white ring around the top.
Aroma: Belgian yeast, a little bit of bubble gum and plums.
Taste: Sour bready yeast and a little bit of the bubble gum from the nose. Sweet cherry and dark bread crust. Ends very dry.
Mouthfeel: Very carbonated and coating.
Overall: A very simple offering, that has a few basic recognizable flavors, starts off a little sweet, ends dry. I appreciate the abv, and the simplicity. It’s not a knock at all. This is worth a try, and relatively inexpensive.
