Noorderbierke

Draught at the Leiderkerke Beer Festival. Cloudy orange-amber with a low head. Earthy, leafy nose, some orange and peach, a bit of caramel. Sweet stewed fruit flavor, with big hops, grassy, orange, peach. Prickly bitter finish.

Rich, raw honey coloured golden body with a very hazy glow and a thick, four centimetre tall just off-white head. Aroma of hay, grass, alcohol, honeysuckle, hops and a bunch of light spices - very nice. Medium-bodied; Slightly sour flavour at first with a bunch of hops and grain noticeable, some light yeast and barnyardie funk going on and finishing with a subdued yet noticeable spice and pepper flavour. Aftertaste is nice and complex with a faint hint of the yeast and funk with a good sweetness from honey and caster sugar and a bit of drying hops as well. Overall, a nice beer, of course - from belgium and well worth the local trip across the border!
