Backlog January 2010. Unclear orange body under a small white head. Aroma of sweetish malt, salvia and anis. Taste is sweet malt, white sugar and licorices. Not great but quite original and there is something going on making in interesting enough.

Bottle. Amber color. Chunks of yeast ruin the appearance. Malt, toffee, anis and coreander in the aroma. Sweet flavor with peach and anis. The spices are too dominant.

Smooth malty beginning. Mild with yeasty beginning and cake hints. Nice with smooth sweetish hints.

Bottle shared with Erzengel! A hazy orange brown beer with a small beige head. Aroma of herbs, spices, dark medium sweet malt. Taste of sweet caramelish malt, ginger, herbs.

Bottle sampled at Essen Christmas Beer Festival ’16. Listed as “Winterbier” but described as being a rebranded version of “Kerstbier”. Cloudy golden with an off white head. Aroma big herbal notes, veggies. Flavour is moderate sweet and bitter. Medium bodied with soft carbonation.

This rating concerns the original version of this beer, tasted at 8 months of age in 2005, when the brewery was still run by Eric Ameye. The bottle did not have a label... Pretty firm, yellowish white, moussy, regular head and dark burgundy colour, cloudy. Weird aroma of tomato, meat broth, brown sugar, cloves, liquorice, balsamic vinegar, sherry, dough. Sweetish taste, fruity esters, tomato, yeasty, dark malts, something ’umami’ and meaty, smooth, with low hop bitterness. Very strange but not really that bad - compared with the other original Gaverhopkes, at least.

Into a tasting glass from a 33cl bottle on 15th Dec 2012 at the 18th Essen Christmas Beer Festival. Dirty amber body with a thin white covering, didn’t look to great to be honest. Supposed to have Juniper Berries, Bog Mirtle and Cloves within the ingredients, I picked up none of those flavours or smells. I did however pick up a semi-sweet spiciness which I didn’t really take too. I found the beer strange and with weird traces and hints of earthiness and off-flavours: not the best beer of the day!

(bottle, 33cl, 6.8% abv, bb 2014/07) Hazy, amber colour with a non-persistent off-white frothy head. Very skunky sulphuric nose which covers almost everything else. Mildly sweet and sour flavour, light to medium bodied with a lively carbonation. Mainly sour fruity taste, quite infected with lighter rotten flavours; sour-fruity finish with only traces of (former) malty sweetness. To be re-rated. 10.I.13
