About

Ardenne Spirit from Brasserie Minne is a 9.5% Old Ale from Belgium's Ardennes region. Brewed with modern American hops—Citra, Mosaic, and Nelson Sauvin—and fermented with the distinctive yeast strain of Orval, this beer bridges classic Belgian tradition with contemporary hop-forward brewing. It pours a deep amber with a soft head. The nose reveals toffee, dark chocolate, and burnt caramel notes. On the palate, a full malt body carries dark fruit, raisins, and molasses, finished with the peppery signature of Orval yeast. The finish is smooth and warming. With its full body and balance between sweetness and gentle bitterness, this is a contemplative beer suited to slow sipping and food pairing.
