Associated Venue: Brasserie 28 by Caulier - Brussels Central Station

Established in 2008
In 2012, he opened a new chapter in the long history of exceptional craft beers by vowing to deliver locally brewed craft beers, to sell them within 28 weeks of bottling through 28 gastro pubs and to deliver them within a 28 minute radius. This way our consumers and customers would receive the beer at peak flavour.
In 2013 the name was changed into Caulier Sugar Free. In 2020 - after a hefty capital investment - the name of the company was changed into Brasserie 28, which is more in line with the ambitious plans of Coppieters (like establishing of a new brewery in Brussels).
For the time being the beers are brewed at the Proefbrouwerij.

Bottle at home. Aroma of citrus, orange peel, malt, spicy yeast, apricot, some alcohol. Flavour is medium sweet with a moderate to medium bitter finish. Body is medium. Interesting Tripel, alcoholic and sweet yet also fruity and hoppy bitter. I definitely enjoyed the big fruity citrus apricot aroma.

Bottiglia. Il gusto al naso resta attratto dallo speziato. L'intensità olfattiva è normale e la maniera in cui permane è sufficiente. Il mantello birroso superiore resiste abbastanza. La grandezza delle bollicine è a grana media. Il liquido si presenta velato. Il colore è giallo dorato. Il corpo è pieno. L'amaro è medio e c'è anche una punta leggermente acidula. La forza gustativa è elevata e si prolunga in modo sufficiente. Il gusto è piacevole. Le sensazioni boccali finali risultano di birra beverina. Il retrogusto è di decente intensità. Sul tetto della bocca si trovano sentori di miele, pane, cracker, spezie, frutta secca, agrumi, limone e mandarino.
