Volcelest Oatmeal Pale Ale;

I would like to say first that I am liking this label, quite elegant, top right of the label a note indicates this beer has won an award in 2019 at the Brussels beer challenge and the beer store owner assured me it was a great one. About time to verify this claim myself.

This is a normal format of 330ml for Europe, 5%abv and the appearance of the beer is a dark orange and very opaque.

On the nose, the oat notes are overwhelming, bit of citrus and lemon in there as well.

This is fairly palatable, following the nose/smell heavy notes of oats, citrus and lemon and a very sweet taste to it balanced by a slightly bitter, refreshing finish. Well crafted.

Overall, this beer is brewed in the greater western suburbs of Paris, not that far from where I reside, and I’m quite embarrassed I had never heard of them as a brewery. Now. I know. This wasn’t even crazy pricey for local craft, a bit over 3€ well spent and will eventually add it to the BA database.
