La CAROGNE Imperial IPA Craft Beer, 75 cl, by the Brasserie d’Amblise

Description

La Carogne 75 cl: the craft Imperial IPA from the Brasserie d’Amblise

With La Carogne, the Brasserie d’Amblise offers a craft beer that fully embraces its character. This Imperial IPA has an alcohol content of 8.5% ABV, a strength that gives it power and presence on the palate, whilst retaining a bitterness described as mild for this category of beer.

The first impression is a particularly pronounced hoppy aroma. Hops are one of the key elements of La Carogne’s identity and help to give it its expressive aromatic profile. On the palate, the beer develops a certain strength, but the bitterness remains deliberately restrained. This characteristic allows you to enjoy its Imperial IPA character without it becoming excessively bitter.

La Carogne embodies the philosophy of the Brasserie d’Amblise, based in the Hauts-de-France region. The brewery has chosen to work exclusively with European hops and prioritises ingredients selected for their quality. Its craft beers are also unfiltered and unpasteurised, to preserve their character and flavour.

The name of this beer is an integral part of its identity. The brewery plays on the regional expression ‘carogne’ or ‘caronne’, a Ch’ti term meaning carrion or a ‘nasty beast’. The humorous tone adopted by the brewery suits the personality of this beer well; behind its deliberately provocative name lies a structured yet accessible drinking experience.

With 10 IBU, La Carogne has a relatively moderate bitterness for an Imperial IPA. Its 30 EBC also gives it a deep colour, befitting a beer with character.

The 75 cl bottle is particularly well-suited to tasting and sharing. La Carogne can be served as an aperitif with cold cuts, mature cheeses or spicy dishes. It also pairs very well with burgers, grilled meats, spicy dishes and certain Asian cuisines.

To fully appreciate its aromatic qualities, this craft beer is best served chilled, but not ice-cold. A temperature slightly higher than that of a classic lager will allow you to better appreciate its hoppy character and strength.

La Carogne 75 cl craft beer is therefore an ideal choice for IPA enthusiasts seeking a powerful, hoppy and original beer, whilst still maintaining a reasonably well-controlled bitterness.
