Viven Ale guarantees a tasty beer with a fruity flavor. The aftertaste is quite long and is aimed to please a broad audience. Brewed to the exact specifications to be called a "Special Belge".

Bottle at Rose Red. Dark blonde, medium head. Tangy aroma of grapefruit, lemon, bread, grass. A bit of funkiness in the flavor, with nice citrus, bread / biscuit. Tasty, clean, and refreshing. Drinks up there with much stronger Belgian blonds. I really like this brewery so far.

Bottle. A dense, white head leaves lacings. The body is almost clear, dark golden in color. Biscuity malty aroma with some grassy hops and a touch of yeast. Medium body, soft carbonation. Lightly cheesy, grassy hoppy flavor with a bready maltyness, bitterness and some fruity hints. Bitter, bready and malty finish. Not my favorite in any way, but it drinks quite easily. 130516

33 cl. bottle @ home. Obtained @ Willems. BBF 07/11/2013. Pours bright amber orange toffee amber with a patchy white head. Sweet oranges, toffee in the nose, candy, very fruity, nicely sweet, floral hops, sweet malts. Taste is sweet malts, toffee, oranges, candy, very fruity, lightly sticky, floral in the finish with sparkling green hops, sticky hops, light grass, quite hoppy. Mmm delicious glorious hops. Oily body. Excellent APA almost IPA – not an Belgian Ale – and all of this with Golding hops. Just comes to show what De Proef can do if you give them a half decent recipe & enough money to do it properly & motivate him a bit. Bit surprised by the ratings, maybe too EU hoppy?

33cl Bottle from ABS Drinks Winksele. Slightly hazy copper colour, white head. Aroma is full malty, light hoppy, dry, light floral, light fruity. Flavour is malty, dry, light floral, yeast, hint of citrus, light fruity, nice malty and hoppy bitter finish, dry. Light-bodied but with a decent mouthfeel. Nice and subtle beer, I’d like to have this as a substitute for pils in bars in most cases.
