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!

Bottle @ home shared with Thompson. Hazy light orange color, medium to full sized rough off-white head. Aroma reminds me of a not fully ripe grape and some grapepeel. Taste malts, light hints of fruitpeel, slightly alcohol, slight bitterness in the finish. Decent body and carbonation. Hmm ok beer.

At Bierhuis aan de Waterkant, shared with Ster of the BeerTemple. Creamy, moussy, egg-white head, deep and warm peach blonde colour, hazy. Classic but convincing Belgian tripel aroma of peach, banana, white bread, baker’s yeast, apple peel, white pepper; fruity onset with ’clean’ esteriness, medium to sharpish carbo, sweetish, supple bready malt sweetness in the middle with light caramelly touch, some yeastiness in the finish but more than anything, a surprisingly long, earthy, peppery, drying hop bitterness. Very decent example of the style.
