Cuvée des Trolls is a beer brewed at the Dubuisson Brewery in Pipaix in Belgium and also by the Brasse-Temps micro-breweries in Louvain-la-Neuve and Mons.[1] Its logo is a little troll with a pointy nose, who is wearing a green hat which is a hop cone.[2]

Characteristics

[edit]

This is a lager beer, filtered or unfiltered, refreshing and scented, with a fuller taste and well balanced, and contains 7% alcohol by volume.[2]

This beer is brewed from sweet must to which hops and dried orange peels are added. This is a beer fermentation (a temperature of fermentation of 23 °C during one week). The beer brewed by Brasse-Temps is not filtered and just decanted, so there is still some yeast. It tastes better served at 3 °C.

It is available in bottle or in keg.

History

[edit]

Cuvée des Trolls has been brewed from September 2000 by the micro-brewery Brasse-Temps, created by the Dubuisson Brewery in Louvain-la-Neuve.[2] The success was immediate in this student city and then the Dubuisson Brewery launch the beer in Wallonia, then in Brussels and finally in the Flemish Region and abroad.[2] In 2003, another le Brasse-Temps was created in Mons and in 2005 the production reached 5000 hectolitres.[citation needed]
