bg9208 Posted April 23, 2007 Share Posted April 23, 2007 Hope that this isn't too off topic being about beer. Having found myperfect dark beer, Pelforth Brune, I was given a couple of bottles of"Mutzig" beer which was bought on offer from an 'end of line' shop forjust centimes and which I found a perfect light beer and better thanany of the other 'premium' lagers around.Does anyone know which, if any supermarket chain stocks it in the Limousin?I'm now down to my last bottle having drunk the penultimate this lunchtime.

Pierre ZFP Posted April 23, 2007 Share Posted April 23, 2007 Sorry, can't help with a supplier in your area but I have tried this and thought it v. good. If you like Mutzig (is that the correct spelling??) you might like Jenlain Blonde, which, if lightly chilled, is very scrummy - about 1.80 for 75cl bottle Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chouan Posted April 23, 2007 Share Posted April 23, 2007 I thoroughly endorse your Jenlain recommendation. I also like Leffe and am happy to quaff its Blonde/Brune/ or Radieuse varieties. I noticed a local paper advertising a new product from Leffe...........a 9 degree blonde !! Sound like it'll be worth a gargle or 2.chouan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pierre ZFP Posted April 23, 2007 Share Posted April 23, 2007 I tried the Leffe '9' but surprisingly I wasn't too keen. Dare I say it..... it was too strong in alcohol and not so strong in taste. For me I like the Leffe Blonde best, I also very much like the Jenlain ambreè but too much does make my head hurt the next day, perhaps I'm getting old ......

bg9208 Posted April 23, 2007 Author Share Posted April 23, 2007 I'll certainly give the Jenlain a try, I seem to remember seeing it ineither leclerc or Cora. Some of the blond beers seem to up the alcoholand take away the taste but the Mutzig at 4.5% and a good tastewas well worth the 30Cents per 25cl bottle!I will remain focussed on my quest for Mutzig but still enjoy the experimentation.Thanks for your posts.www.leschenauds.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bg9208 Posted April 24, 2007 Author Share Posted April 24, 2007 Tried the Jenlain Blond today, tasted OK but at 7.5% bit too hogh for my tastes.www.leschenauds.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lizzy h Posted April 24, 2007 Share Posted April 24, 2007 hi if you like pelforth brune you with love Jenlain brune I thinks its about 7.9 proof and tastes abit like newcastle brown I love it!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pierre ZFP Posted April 25, 2007 Share Posted April 25, 2007 The Jenlain is ambreè not brune. I love it but if you weren't keen on the blond then this is probably not up your street - no harm in trying though.At the risk of being pedantic, 7.9 proof is incorrect. It is 7.9% A.B.V. (alcohol by volume) 'Proof' is an old scale hardly used anymore which measures from 0 (pure water) to 180 degrees (pure alcohol, even though such a thing is impossible, chemically speaking) 100 degrees of Proof is that strength which can be ignited at room temperature. more than 100 is reffered to as 'over proof'Never, ever say something is x percent proof.I'll take me 'at off now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pierre ZFP Posted April 27, 2007 Share Posted April 27, 2007 Absolutely - sorry for being a pedant!Now what about Jenlain Printemps. A bit less alcohol but a lovely flowery taste.(and yes I agree, proper beer does come from barrels) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dog Posted May 11, 2007 Share Posted May 11, 2007 La Goudale is my favourite Frfench beer - it always hits the spot...I badly miss draught Fullers ESB especially if you can persuade the landlord to give you it straight from the barrel on the day of delivery. They mutter about letting it settle..Every landlord I have persuaded to give me it is amazed and immediately hooked - it is alive with bits of hops floating around it is a true elixir - absolute heaven. Give it a try. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
