Rookop is a brown, top-fermented ale formerly brewed by the St.-Joris brewery in the village of Reningelst until 1963. We were asked to bring the most famous beer of this former brewery back to life and made it a dubbel-style ale brewed with Admiral and Golding hops, fruity and sweet with some chocolate notes.
Our Rookop was brewed for the first time on May 5, 2012.

The first beer made by a company which grows hops organically and apparently the name was taken from a beer brewed up till the sixties. Thin light beige head, very dark brown colour. Aroma of caramel, green banana, pear, dried fig, cooked turnip, some vague cabbage, fondant chocolate, a whiff of coffee, grassy hops, walnuts; ’clean’ and subduedly sweetish onset, bananan, raisin and plum accents, spritzy carbo, smooth and slick mouthfeel, very caramelly maltiness with bittering toasted aspect, a tad metallic, soft herbal hop bitterishness in the finish, medium long. Straightforward but technically well done.
