Spécial De Ryck is the flagship beer of our brewery, created in 1920 and brewed according to the original recipe ever since, using only the purest ingredients. It's a amber coloured speciale Belge ale with subtle maltiness, a fruity flavor of delicate hops and a slightly bitter aftertaste.

0.75l bottle shared with Ogi, Vran & someone. Murky amber-orange body, off-white head. Estery aroma, lovely peachy notes, some spicy yeastiness, light flowery touches. Hm... why 2.99? Ah, the taste reveals why, kinda. Empty, overcarbonated taste with light esters, light spicy herbal phenols. That's just about it. Not bad, not great.

(Draught at Akkurat, Stockholm, 19 Feb 2022) Pale amber colour with frothy, off-white head. Malty nose with notes of caramel, candy sugar, bread, apples and spices. Malty taste with caramel, candy sugar, dried fruit, pineapple, bread and a mild spicy bitterness in the finish. Slightly metallic. Medium body, with a certain sweetness. Fairly generic, but quite tasty. Quite nice.

0,75 litre bottle. Aroma has hops and some caramel. Sweetish hopbitter flavor with caramel and toffee. Just a bit thin, but a good lacing. Recommended. Re-rate:sampled both at the brewery tap and at De Gouden Leeuw St Lievens Houtem. The brewery (free) sample sufferd a bit from diacetyl. The S.L.H.-one had a beautiful hop character and a refreshing citric flavor. Grapefruit aftertaste.

Bottle from a Carrefour in Ninove (I presume). Pours hazy light amber with a quickly thinning, off-white head. Aroma of almond, caramel, brioche, green apple, cake, tea leaves. Taste is medium fruity sour, unripe apple, yeasty, a bit funky, sweetish caramel in the back, some nuts. Dryish, faintly grassy & herbal hoppy finish, lingering unripe fruit & caramel but never dominantly sweet. Light to medium body, slick texture, lively carbonation. Easy drinker, to be preferred over any industrial Pale Lager.
