Het Carrousel-bier werd voor het eerst gebrouwen op vraag van 30CC, ter gelegenheid van het uniek volksfeest in Kessel-Lo op zaterdag 14 mei 2011. Meesterbrouwer Marc selecteerde hiervoor vier granen en een aantal hopvariëteiten waardoor een uniek blond bier met een uitgesproken fris en fruitig karakter verkregen werd. Het bier wordt o.a. gemaakt met speltmout wat een lichte zurigheid geeft aan het bier. Als hop maken we gebruik van een nieuwe variëteit CITRA. Deze geeft het bier zijn verfrissend citrus karakter.
Met smaakevolutie, niet gefilterd en ongepasteuriseerd.

gist: Lage gist en hergisting in de fles
hop: Simcoehop, Lublinhop
mout: Pilsmout (gerst), tarwemout, speltmout en havervlokken
temp 4-6°C
Vol. % alc 6

Carrousel beer was brewed for the first time at the request of cultural centre 30CC (Leuven) to celebrate the unique folk festival in Kessel-Lo on Saturday, May 14, 2011. Master brewer Marc selected four grains and some hops varieties to create a unique lager with a distinctive fresh and fruity character. The beer is made with spelt malt which adds a slight acidity to the beer. We use a new hops variety, CITRA, which gives this beer its refreshing citrus character. With taste evolution, unfiltered and unpasteurized.

Fermentation: Low fermentation and secondary fermentation in the bottle
hops: Citra hops, Saaz hops
malt: Pilsner malt (barley) and spelt malt
temp: 4-6°C

From a 75 cl bottle bought at Belgiuminabox. Heavy gusher, beer poured out of the neck upon opening. Loose, irregular, fairly stable, off-white head over a hazy, warm orangey ’old gold’ blonde beer. Aroma of soaked bread, soapy wheat, wet hay, grape peel, dried flowers, mouldy orange, lemon zest, breakfast cereals, apple juice, sourdough, hint of chlorine, thyme. Taste fruity, very applish, pineapple, hint banana, orange, soft carbo, deep sourish graininess, bready barley sweetishness, supple and a bit oily, floral hop bitter ending, gentle and a bit grassy. Decent, I can imagine this being a good summer quencher.

(Bottle, 0.75 l - BB 30/04/2017, at Stadin Panimobaari, 20150417) The beer poured golden and almost clear. Its head was medium sized and white. Aroma had fruitiness, honey and Belgian style yeast. Palate was medium bodied with medium carbonation. Flavours were fruitiness, tartness, sweetness, Belgian style yeast, malts and bitterness. Aftertaste was fruity, tart and bitter. A nice complex brew.

Bottle, 75cl. A small, dense, white head forms overn unclear, golden body. The aroma has lots of citrus peel, with milky sourness and some pale malts. Lightly milky sour flavor, citrusy and with some pale malts and bitterness. Rather effervescent, dry on the palate, medium body. Not a favorite of mine in any way, might be interesting if it’s fresh. 130215
