HOUTGERIJPT WILD BLOND BIER MET CONIFEREN EN HONING
Dennenbomen groeien vaak op kerkhoven. Ze zijn daar aangeplant omdat ze symbool staan voor het eeuwige leven. De dennenappels die aan de bomen groeien zijn het teken van wedergeboorte en nieuw leven. Toen brouwerij Burial uit North Carolina samen met Frontaal naar ons kwam, lieten we ons inspireren door hun naam en besloten we een bier met dennen te brouwen. In het voedselbos vonden we twee soorten, grove den en Koreaanse den, waarvan we jonge takken hebben geoogst.
We hadden bedacht dat de dennentakken in dit bier de hopsoort chinook konden nabootsen, een kruidige hop met aroma’s van naaldboom en citrus. Maar wild bier is eigenwijs en trekt graag zijn eigen plan. We moesten daarom ons oorspronkelijke idee begraven en samen met het bier een ander pad bewandelen. Pine Trees and Cemeteries is na tien maanden houtrijping een bijzonder fris bier geworden, met verfijnde zuren en volle, rijke toetsen van rijp fruit. We hebben lokale honing van Bijmegen toegevoegd, die deze smaken nog sterker naar voren brengt. Op de achtergrond proef je nog een echo van de dennennaalden, terwijl de vluchtige tannines van het naaldhout een lichte bittere afdronk geven.

Bottle shared thanks to sjogro. Bit hazy golden with small white head. Light flowery, Brett, pineapple, white wine, tart herb juice, soft wheat, light pine but not too much. Under medium sweet and sour, light bitter. Medium bodied. Another typical Nevel beer, they really have their own thing going, and I love it.

Bottle. Color: Hazy and cloudy orange golden, thin white head. Aroma: Malt, pine tree, fruity notes, light sourness. Taste: Pretty smooth mouthfeel. After tasting some beers brewed with pine, I expected more pine and even some resinous flavours but this beer is very subtle. Although I realize that this is a collab, this does indicate the skill of Nevel brewery, in my opinion. Moderate sourness, light sweet and bitterness. Very subtle pine tree, coniferous. Subtle fruity notes of citrus fruit and wild yeast funk. Pretty dry mouthfeel. Some oak also. Medium body and low carbonation. No harsh tastes, very balanced. Typical Nevel, maybe one of the smoothest and least pronounced beers of this brewery but at the same time very tasty.

17 August 2019. At Gents Bierfestival X. Cheers to Anke, Kevin & the crew! Clear pale golden with a quickly thinning, frothy, white head. Aroma of unripe apricot, mandarin, gooseberry, starfruit, kiwi, hay, pine. Taste is medium fruity sour, notes of gooseberry, lemon & kiwi next to sweetish peach & apricot, a bit orangey, bitter stonefruit, yeast & earthy spices developing. Dryish, floral hoppy finish, tart & lemony, unripe yellow fruits mixing with bitter pine & spruce. Medium body, oily texture, soft carbonation. Very subtle, well executed.

A typical Never beer: a bit funky, a bit herbal, lots of flavours, complex and terribly subtle. Maybe too subtle for such a festival. Good bit of honey here, whilst remaining nicely dry. Refreshing, light, subtly tart. Well made.
