Moulins d’Ascq Organic Double IPA 75 cl – French Craft Beer

Moulins d’Ascq Organic Double IPA is a characterful blonde craft beer brewed in the Hauts-de-France region of northern France. Made with organically sourced ingredients, it has an alcohol content of 8% ABV and offers an expressive interpretation of the Double IPA style. Its combination of malt depth, fruit-led aromas and a persistent bitter finish makes it a distinctive choice for fans of hop-forward beers.

Appearance and character

The beer pours a golden-orange colour with a slight haze and a generous white head. Its appearance introduces a tasting profile that combines aromatic intensity with a rounded malt character. Rather than relying on bitterness alone, the beer brings together several layers of flavour for a fuller experience.

Candied fruit, citrus and resinous bitterness

The brewery highlights aromas of candied fruit and citrus, supported by malty notes that add structure and depth. On the palate, the malt character contributes roundness and balances the beer’s aromatic intensity. The finish is fresh and resinous, with a lingering bitterness that reflects the style of a Double IPA. These contrasting elements make it suitable for drinkers who enjoy beers with a pronounced hop character and a lasting finish.

Serving and food pairings

For the recommended tasting experience, serve the beer chilled at around 5–6°C. Its bold profile pairs well with burgers, grilled meats, spicy dishes and hearty regional recipes such as Flemish carbonnade. It can also be enjoyed as part of a craft beer tasting or shared over a relaxed meal.

The 75 cl bottle is well suited to sharing. With its organic credentials, golden-orange appearance and combination of candied fruit, citrus, malt and resinous bitterness, Moulins d’Ascq Organic Double IPA offers a distinctive example of modern French craft brewing. It is an appealing option for anyone looking to explore stronger, hop-led beers from a regional artisan brewery.
