Bottle 0,33ltr: Hazy amber coloured ale with a load af spices, but this isn’t a bad brew but you have to learn to drink this one. Need another try.

Bottle. Amber color. Spicy aroma with toffee and peach. Spicy fruity sweet flavor. Indeed mysterious spices, as the label says. Coreander, cardemom and ginger maybe. Decent beer from a very small brewery.

Laarne is a village with a witches’ folklore and apparently, after decades of silently, almost secretly brewing solely their old school Pick Up ’pils’, the local family brewery of Walrave decided it was about time to join in on the local folklore. This was the result, in 2006: a stereotypical ’spéciale belge’ style ale, with stable, regular, yellowish white head and copper, almost bronzish colour, clear. The aroma reveals pure nutty maltiness, subdued caramel, a lot of iron, some phenols, dried leaves, flowers, dried fruit, some peppery hops. Soft dry fruity taste, fresh, strong nutty and caramelly maltiness, clean with thinnish mouthfeel and a relatively long grassy and leafy hop bitterishness in the finish, which also appears a bit phenolic, even medicinal. Interesting, it seems as if the recent ’wave’ of beer attention in Belgium has awakened this sleeping brewery, prompting it to this shy attempt at joining the beer revolution. Needs more work, agreed, but the fact alone that Walrave created a new beer was enough to get me on a trip to Laarne to find it.

Bottle: Amber, smaller off-white foamy layer, malty-sugary nose, metallic traces and some coriander-like spices detectable; sweetish-bitter flavour, almost medium bodied; sweetish-sugary - with a light acidity - finish, some fruits and coriander detectable. Not unpleasant…

(bottle, 25cl) Hazy, orange to amber colour with a nice and slightly beige foamy head. Slightly yeasty, lemon-fruity and very spicy, even slightly soapy aroma. Sweet flavour, light to medium bodied with a moderate carbonation. Sugary sweet and yeasty malty taste with citric notes and spicy accents towards the sweet malty finish with only traces of bitterness. 14.VI.11
