Een spontane ontmoeting tussen een gepassioneerd bio tomatenboer* en een creatieve hobbybrouwer maakt dit verhaal uniek.
De prikkelende aroma's van de umamitomaat doen een walsje in de fles met de herkenbare hoptoetsen die dit bier typeren.
De combinatie is verrassend, fris en verrijkend.

30 August 2025. At 7de Bier van Olier (Sijsele). Cheers to Anke, mom & dad!
Weak vegetable aroma, bell peppers, yellow cherry tomato, crackers. Dry, restrainedly sweetish taste of apple, unripe pear, tomato. Dry grassy hops, cracker. Lively carbonation. I don't really get the intention here, as the base beer is too weak to even begin supporting an adjunct umami flavour, within a very fizzy mouthfeel. Feels a bit like old-school Gaverhopke. I do appreciate the willingness to experiment, but I'd say back to basics first.

Pale blond colour with thin head. It's another simple blond now with umami tomato. I don't get that at all. So it's just a basic blond. Slightly musty.

Lots of carbonation. Fruity nose, notes of flowers, herbs and tomatoes. Taste is medium sweet, herbal, a bit dry, light tomatoe flavour. Too much carbonation.

Lci. No umami tomatoes for me... Again bit too carbonated. Some offtastes in the aftertaste.
