The Lieve was one of the oldest canals in Europe. From the star-shaped fortifications of Damme, it flowed to the historic city of Ghent. Its name translates as "dear" or "lovely". Lieve is a light gold, crisp and crushable beer of 4.5% ABV showcasing 100% pils malt. It's inspired by the top fermented but lagered hybrid beers produced around the German city of Cologne, but has a more pronounced ester profile and a firmer bitterness (Citra and Mandarina Bavaria). Water: damme Malt: pils Hops: citra, mandarina bavaria Yeast: german ale EBC: 03 IBU: 35

Gushing to a glass of light-yellow foam, fluffy, with a muddy yellow bottom. Spicy, but also hoppy nose, pale malts, strangely a hint as from wheat. Fresh garden herbs. Bitter-spicy flavour, pale malts, again a wheat-like acidity, enhanced by the high carbonation. Bitter citrus and YEAST!. Spritzy, long-lasting bitterness, light body. Another Be that could stand out between the Kölner Kölsch... if it weren't for the particular hopchoice. It's not bad, but it's Cologne instead of Köln.

28 April 2019. At Zythos Bierfestival. Cheers to Anke, 77ships & tderoeck! Hazy yellow, lasting, small, foamy, white head; lots of lacing. Aroma of green banana, yellow apple, wort, yeast, breadcrust, melon, grain. Taste is light fruity sweet, ‘classic’ apple, pear, banana & apricot, quite yeasty & grainy though, rendering it a bit bitter & wort-like at the same time; sourish touch of wheat before finishing dry, grainy, slightly grassy hoppy, with more yeast, bread & unripe fruit. Medium to light body, slick texture, lively carbonation. Feels unfinished & too basic, unfortunately.
