At Beer in Mind, we continue our exploration of food and beer pairings. Today, we focus on La Première Sess and two cheeses suggested by Julien from La Dent du Chat.
The Première Sess is a refreshing Belgian-style blonde Pale Ale, malty and spicy, marked by floral notes. Its low alcohol content and balanced bitterness make it a friendly beer, perfect for discovering all the richness of the style without heaviness..
- La Dent du Chat : This Savoy cheese, with its soft texture and bold flavour, reveals its full personality when paired with the malty and spicy notes of La Première Sess. The light bitterness highlights the aromatic strength of the cheese, creating a subtle and indulgent harmony.
- L’Abbaye de Tamié : monastic pressed cheese, soft and creamy, it pairs perfectly with the freshness of the beer. The fizz and hoppy aromas of La Première Sess bring a liveliness that contrasts with the creamy roundness of the cheese and extends its flavours on the palate.
Two pairings that show how light and hoppy beers can enhance both the strength and the sweetness of cheeses.
