In 2015, a new generation has risen and so has the brewery. The Verbeeck-Back family bloodline was reinforced by the De Cock family. Together, they have formed the formidable, reassuringly Belgian-sounding name Verbeeck – Back – De Cock. VBDCK. This new crop of VBDCK heirs to the family tradition of Belgian quality and craft has literally been digging up history by its roots. They are ripping through the nostalgic silence with KEREL, the beer that says it all, and the transformation of the original brewery and family residence into a new place to stay.

0,33 l bottle from kappldav123. Thanks a lot! Unclear golden in the glass, one finger frothy white head. Smells fresh floweresque hopy. Taste is also floral hopy, crisp, sweet fruity, dry elements in the second row. Low carbonated, low bitterness. Nice one.

Dit is niet goed... Geforceerde saison, niet in balance.

Many thanks to Erzengel for sharing! A hazy dark golden beer with a small white head. Aroma of sweet fruity malt, straw, yeast, some banana and herbs. Taste of yeasty fruits, banana, herbs, medium carbonation.

Many thanks to kappldav123 for sharing this bottle! Fruity nose. The beer starts grainy with a neutral grainy yeast there. Only hints of funk in the back, refreshing with grain and smooth yeast, a bit of funky bitterness in the back. Not too deep or special.
