This 1894 was specially created to celebrate the brewery’s 120th anniversary. Five generations of familyrun brewing, proudly providing innovative beers in a unique bottle. 1894 is a daring combination of a strongly hopped blonde tripel and a very refreshing oak-aged beer with secondary fermentation in the bottle.

Bottle from Pede Drinks, Wetteren. Hazy blond colour, white foam. Nose of citrus, hops, funk. Lots of carbonation. Refreshing. Bit thin body and too much carbonation. But not very bad.

0.75 l bottle from ’HEMA’, best before May 2017. Clear, golden yellow with a huge, fluffy, almost stable, white head. Sweetish-sourish, fruity, slightly funky aroma of lemon, rhubarb, straw, clove and oak. Sourish-fruity, slightly funky taste of lemon, rhubarb, straw, clove and oak, followed by a medium long, spicy, dry and tart finish. Medium body, spritzy and medium astringent mouthfeel, average to lively carbonation. Well-balanced and refreshing, very nice!

Big fancy bottle (from Koht). Pours yellow with whiteish head. The huge head stays. Aroma is sour, fruits, citrus, lemon. Flavor is sour and sweet, medicinal, spices. Finish is dry bitter. Caronation is rather high. Alcohol is very well covered. Overall: very good, feels more belgian strong ale (think duvel, but with sour notes) than the regular crappy lacto cube thingy that’s popular.

75cl bottle @ Shrewsbury Beer Share, May 15, courtesy of myself. Picked up at Vanuxeem. Has a delicate, spritzy white wine feel to this. Some light sour with citrus pith. Enjoyable but not quite worth the price tag.
