Gentse Graaf (The Count of Ghent) is a line of Belgian beers of high fermentation. Besides the traditional blonde and brown beer, Gentse Graaf surprises with a dubbel brown variant, tripels, honey beer and amber beers. This versatility represents the role of Ghent in the County of Flanders. Despite the turbulent history, where periods of war and social uprising and periods of peace and prosperity took turns, the port of Ghent attracted shippers and merchants from all corners of the earth.
Gentse Graaf recalls the atmosphere of the stories that have been told in the shadow of the Gravensteen (Castle of the Counts). Time for your own story: take a Gentse Graaf!

4/VIII/17 - 33cl bottle from Willems (Grobbendonk) @ holidays - BB: 13/VII/18 (2017-1170)
Clear blond to light orange beer, creamy irregular white head, pretty stable, adhesive, leaving a nice lacing in the glass. Aroma: very floral, sugary, yeast, sweet, ginger bread, honey, malty, bit oxidized. MF: lively carbon, medium body. Taste: bitter, some cookies, oxidized, lots of orange peel, bit sourish. Aftertaste: mainly oxidation I'm getting, soft bitterness, malty, orange peel, bit chemical, yeast, very unpleasant.

Bottle @ home shared with Thompson. Clear golden color, medium sized white head. Aroma is malts, a slight hayish hint. Taste malts, yeast, slightly herbs or spices in the background, lightly bitter finish with a slight floral hint. Average to decent body and carbonation. Ok beer.
