La Chatte

The Ardennes’ feline character.

ALCOHOL / VOL.
6 %
COLOUR
Golden blond with light amber hints

La Chatte is the original blond ale from Brasserie des Tchèts. Its golden colour has subtle amber hints, while delicate floral aromas meet a distinctly bitter edge. Unfiltered and unpasteurised, this 6% beer has a forthright, refreshing character. Its name refers to the “tchèts”, the nickname of the people of Neuvillers, where the project began before the brewery moved to Flohimont.
