We brewed a special beer for a nation-wide campaign to combat children’s cancer. All the profit of the sale of this beer will benefit the Dutch organisation that works to reduce the number of children with the disease. It has become an annual tradition to ask reputed breweries to brew this beer so we are honoured it is our turn in 2018.

We brewed a beautiful, firm but fresh blond of 6,2% for the occasion. The use of barley, rye, oats and spelt resulted in a wonderfully layered beer with herbal aroma’s and a touch of vanilla. The hops are subtle and provide a light tickle. All in all: full of taste yet very refreshing.

Drinken voor de gezondheid, drinken tegen kanker. Lichte tarwesmaak, maar niet zo overheersend. Verder ok.

Bottle. (Geniet & Geef 2018) Color: Slightly hazy golden, white head. Aroma: Malt, yeast. Taste: Malty, yeast, notes of rye, white sugar and orange-peel, herbal and peppery hints. Blond Ale with some sweetish Saison characteristics. Over medium body, below average carbonation. Nice one, but a bit too sweet for me.
