When Louwaege stopped brewing, Alken-Maes not only adopted their Hapkin, but also this regional ale named after the inhabitants of the Western Flemish city of Torhout. This Alken-Maes version is stronger than the original Louwaege version and is still made for beer shop Verhelle each year. Off-white, milky head over a pure ’old gold’ coloured, clear beer. Sweaty grains in the nose, unripe peach, apple peel, tomato, walnuts, hay, raw potatoes, vanilla, ’jenever’. Rounded, supple palate with subdued peachy fruitiness, some caramelly and very lightly nutty malts, herbal hops and some noticeable, but not disturbing alcohol in the finish. Rather bland.

(bottle, 33cl, bb: 26.09.14) Slightly hazy, pale golden colour with a big and blond foamy head. Grainy and delicately strawy malty aroma with notes of citrus and shades of floral hops. Moderately sweet and slightly bitter flavour, medium bodied with a moderate carbonation. Pale malt character with grainy and slightly bready notes, a subtle fruity touch, as well as herbal and slightly flowery hops in the background; sweet-bitter, grainy and slightly citric finish with a deceptive alcoholic strength. 10.III.14

Bottled (Bs, BB 04/2009). My first rating from this brewery in current database.
Dark honey-golden color, medium-sized white head. Aroma of rasberries, grass, metal and fruityness. Same odd rasberry is in the flavor. Also grainy, grassy and sweet fruity (apple). Watery finish. Out of balance Belgian ale. Bottle could be a bit more fresh too.
