Description
The founder of this brewery is Louis Klaassens, owner of Café De Klep. From the very beginning, Louis's ambition was to open a "high-profile and successful city brewery" in Venlo. Initially, it was called Stadsbrouwerij Klaassens, which in 2018 became Stadsbrouwerij De Klep, and in 2022, Brouwerij De Klep.

Until 2022, the beers were primarily brewed at Brouwerij De Fontein. Initially, this was around 300 liters per batch, but in 2018, it increased to 1000 liters per batch.

On June 1, 2022, a dedicated brewing system was put into operation, and the brewery was established in the MOUT food hall in Venlo: the dream of having our own brewery was finally realized!

Bottle 33cl. @home poured into a tumbler. Murky deep golden colour, small fizzy white head, quickly dissipating, no lacing. Aroma wheat malt, apple, some banana. Taste medium sweet and slightly bitter, wheat, apple, some orange peel, light spicy notes. Thin body, watery texture, flat carbonation, short light sweetbitter aftertaste, light acidity, just decent.

Can. Thanks to Wolf..A light haze on this amber beer, small and short lived bubbly pale tan head. Light palate, semi dry, good fine minerally carbonation. Thin bodied malts, a thin caramel and cream sweetness. Crisp bright pine and pretty mild Calvados booze and floral apple. Acacia wood? Strewth! It's been awhile but the slightly sweet and floral woodiness, rings true. Fair bit of boozy spice on the finish along with, a fair dose of sweet esters. A charmingly naieive Barleywine. No malt depth at all but, the other elements combine well enough to entertain.

0.33 l can from 'Mr. Hop', canned in December 2024. Hazy, golden amber with a medium large, frothy, almost stable, white head. Sweetish, gently fruity-floral aroma of peach, honey and orange peel. Slightly sweet, moderately bitter, gently dry, minimally fruity-floral taste of grains, some orange peel, a touch of honey and hints of corn flakes, followed by a short, moderately bitter, gently dry finish. Almost medium-bodied, gently effervescent mouthfeel, soft carbonation. Okay, not very interesting.

Flesje gedeeld door Tomhendriksen.
Goudgeel helder bier met mooie stevige schuimkraag.
Aroma en smaak van Hela kruidensaus.
In mijn beleving is de Hela saus geen juiste combinatie met het bier.

Fles gedeeld met Inoven. Het is een troebel goudgeel bier met een volle witte schuimkraag. Het heeft echt de lekkere Hela curry geur! De smaak is vol kruidig en curry achtig. Niet echt geweldig voor een bier, maar wel een kunst de smaak te creëren. --- Beer merged from original tick of Spices Delight on 25 Apr 2025 at 19:12 - Score: Appearance - 7 | Aroma - 8 | Flavor - 8 | Texture - 8 | Overall - 7.
