Dark due to the mixture of different types of malt and hours of cooking time. Only 'Golding' bubble hop from Poperinge is used and all our beers are bottled with secondary fermentation. It is the first beer of De Dolle Brouwers and officially dates from 1980.
The name refers to the originality and purity of the beer. The specific gravity of the wort is 1078, the alcohol percentage 9%. Oerbier has a slightly fresh acidity due to the yeast and lactic acid bacteria.
The best-before date is imposed by law: one year after bottling, this is also mentioned on the capsule. The beer will experience a slight taste evolution and will become vinous. Samples of the first brew, which are still perfectly drinkable, are kept in the brewery.
Up untill 2000, this beer was made with the use of Rodenbach yeast, making it vastly different than the modern version.

Bottle from 1987. (26 years old at the time), 330 ml at Kulminator, Antwerp. Pours unclear reddish brown with small off-white head. Sweet with sour touch. Dark fruit, plums, nuts, yeast. Complex. Quite a lot of yeast sediment at the bottom. Very interesting experience.
