A Brightly Accented Brewing Composition

Fourchette is a blonde multi-grain triple brewed with water, barley malt, wheat, sugar, hops, yeast and rice. This combination gives the tasting experience its substance and dimension without weighing down its lively character. Barley malt provides a structured cereal base, while wheat and rice contribute to a refreshing sensation and a smoother expression. Top fermentation marks the first stage of its production, followed by bottle conditioning that completes its identity. This second fermentation helps make every pour especially expressive. With 16° Plato original gravity, Fourchette asserts a generous presence, true to the spirit of great Belgian triples, while preserving a clear and flavoursome aromatic profile.
