No expense has been spared for de Jongleur. The freshness acquired by the American hopping is therefore sublime. With its 4% alcohol volume, this is a real drinker. Citrus notes of lime, lychee and grapefruit provide a thirst-quenching effect. The sparkling saturation ensures that this beer of only 4% has become a very full-bodied and sturdy beer.

Till May 2021 brewed at 't Gaverhopke.

Original rating (2016) Pours very clear blonde, good to big white head. Smell is bit grainy, rather sharp, some malt aspects. Taste is very sharp, bitter, intensely so. Rather dry, some malty aspects as well. almost like a saison-like character underneath. to high carbonation for me , over an average mouthfeel. For what it is, it’s a pretty nice beer. but it’s a beer very much in the style of taras boulba, and I’m not sure it can compete with that just yet. Still, if this is more easy accessible for you, or you like TB and wanna try something in those lines, this could be a very nice one to try ! 7/10

Re-rate (2020) . Whilst the other 2 basebeers - in my opinion - had improved, this one fell down a bit. Phenolic, with hints of DMS ( at least in the scent, not so much in the taste ) . MF is dry and a bit thin, no real estery flavors, but a MF like an overly ester-forward ale. Mild carbo. rated 6.5 this time.
