Een van de streekbrouwerijen die helaas de jaren '80 niet overleefde, was brouwerij Lootens in Koekelare. Het lekkere bier dat tot op het einde vlot de weg vond naar de klanten, mocht niet van de bierkaart verdwijnen waardoor in allerijl werd beslist om het in Ichtegem verder te brouwen.
Een amberkleurig, fruitig en pittig gekruid bier van hoge gisting. Vol moutaroma met een zweempje exotisch parfum.

Pours hazy amberbrown. Small white head. Smell is sweet, indeed some xomplex mix of spices. Earthy / forest like as well. Taste is bit sweet, malty in the back. Lingering spiced sweetness. Very mild bitter aspect. Hood Mf and carbo. Very complex, yet very balanced. Perhaps a bit overly spiced...

Tasted at Oostends Bierhuisje (which unfortunately does not exist anymore). Strange ale with Scottish-inspired label and unusual ingredients; creamy foam, deep and warm, pretty amber colour. Malt and bit of candi sweetness, bit nutty, caramelly, adorned with vanilla, lemon peel and camphor-like spiciness; if you know what ground ivy smells like, well, it is certainly there. Belgian ales can be strange at times, this one is certainly unusual, but I liked it.

(bottle, 25cl) Hazy, amber colour with a big and dense slightly tanned foamy head. Sweet malty and moderately fruity aroma with notes of citrus/lemon and honey, accompanied by spicy and almost a bit ethereally notes. Moderately sweet flavour, light to medium bodied with a calm carbonation. Cara-malty base with notes of citrus, honey, coriander and a tinge of flowery hops. Likeable. 04.X.11
