The first and so far only beer by this new company in Ronse (about 25 miles south of Ghent), aiming to create a range of organic beers; another one presenting itself as a brewery, but in the absence of hard evidence, I remain very skeptical and do not believe they actually run their own brewing operation – my suspicion is that (like many of these ‘new brewing company beers’ in especially East Flanders) this is brewed at BeerSelect, but my guess is as good as anyone else’s. Anyway: found in a shop specializing in organic products in Ghent. Very thick and frothy, egg-white, membrane-lacing, pillowy, stable head, misty pure and warm ‘old-golden’ robe, with visible sparkling. Spiced aroma of clove, pear, banana, soapy ginger and coriander seed (strongly so), oxidized green apple slices, white bread, grass, gin, bitter weeds. Fruity onset but rather restrained in sweetness, green apple, unripe peach, Conference pear, lively carbonated but in a pleasant, ‘small-bubbled’ way; rounded bready and cracker-like maltiness under increasing spice soapiness (again reminiscent of ginger and coriander), but unexpectedly and luckily, this spiciness is soon overshadowed by a firm, long, resinous and ‘deep’ hop bitterness, quinine- and citrus pith-like. Bready and spicy (clove) yeastiness lingers about too. Outspokenly spicy – too much so for my personal liking, but not unusually so in a Belgian ale context – but the hop bitterness is above average for this kind of saison-ish beer, which saved the day for me, making it end better than expected. Not the worst, but obviously I am deducting a point for refusing to reveal where it is actually brewed!
