From the brewery's website:

"Created in 1922, this top-fermented beer is the source of the Brasserie Duyck's great renown. With 7.5% alcohol by volume, this unpasteurized beer is made with 3 different types of malt produced from French barley, and 3 varieties of hops grown in Alsace. It is roasted malt that gives the beer its attractive amber glow and great aroma.

With a maltier and more rugged taste than classic beers, Jenlain is best drunk at between 6 and 8°C. It's generous taste lingers pleasantly in the mouth while its malty, autumnal bouquet, floral note and hints of caramel, stewed prunes and lightly toasted malt make it an ideal ingredient in many dishes. It was awarded the "Diploma of Merit and National Prestige" in 1993 by the Comité de France and the Comité du Bon Goût Français, and recently won a Bronze Metal at the 2004 Agricultural Show.

Finally, one of Jenlain's main particularities is its innovatory nature: it was the first beer to be bottled in 75 cl champagne-style bottles with a wire-fastened cork."
