Among the most accomplished signatures of Haute-Savoie, the BS Ambrée Bio from Les Brasseurs Savoyards claims a specialty beer style where the nobility of the malt takes center stage. Pure malt and organic certified, it reveals a rare aromatic generosity, supported by careful bottom fermentation and a selection of hops that refine the blend without overpowering it. Its amber robe announces a tasting that is both generous and restrained, where notes of biscuit, caramel and toasted cereals unfold with restraint. At 7% alcohol, the palate shows an appealing breadth, a perfectly balanced profile and a lingering finish that invites gastronomy. For those who prioritise expressive malts and balance, this batch offers an honest, warm and contemporary experience.

Brewing, malt selection and balanced precision

The BS Ambrée Bio is built on a base of roasted barley malts, worked from the palest to the most roasted, to orchestrate a nuanced aromatic register dominated by biscuit, caramel, gingerbread and toasted cereals. Careful bottom fermentation ensures a precise line, a clean carbonation and straightforward drinkability. Three aroma and bittering hops structure the whole with tact, bringing a restrained bitterness and light floral and resinous accents that support the malt without overshadowing it. The Organic certification attests to a clear commitment, from field to glass, for a more virtuous and expressive specialty beer. Everything here contributes to a coherent gustatory profile, a supple mouthfeel, and a clean finish that extends the conversation at the table.

Tasting notes

• Appearance : Deep amber, clear, animated by a fine effervescence that prepares a palate both broad and structured.

• Palate : Round, tasty attack, dominant malt framework, measured bitterness and a long, clean, indulgent finish.

Serving temperature and tips

Serve the BS Ambrée Bio between 8 and 10°C, in a tasting glass that highlights the development of the bouquet and foam retention. A few minutes of aeration allow it to express the full breadth of the malt and the balance of the hops. Enjoyed on its own, it offers a clear reading of its composition; shared at the table it gains depth and subtly enhances the cuisine. Store the bottle upright, away from light and heat, to preserve the integrity of its aromatic profile.

Food and beer pairings

• Appetisers : selected charcuterie, country terrines, puff pastries with comté.
• Main dishes : mountain cuisine, golden gratins, braised meats, roasted poultry with caramelised juices.
• Cheeses : aged tomme, beaufort, abondance, aged cheddar, for a cereal and spicy echo.
• Grills : lacquered pork, spiced ribs, roasted vegetables brightened with fresh herbs.
• Desserts : walnut tart, spiced cake, apple-caramel crumble, to extend the biscuit and caramel notes.
