About
In 2011 slaan biologische hopboer Joris Cambie en brouwer Kris Langouche de handen in elkaar. De familie Cambie teelt dan al generaties lang hop op de Poperingse velden en schakelt in 1997 al over op biologische teelt. Reden genoeg voor Joris en Kris om samen, op het hopbedrijf van Joris, een artisanale brouwerij te stichten. Het begin van De Plukker en zijn unieke verhaal! Dit is immers het enige hopbedrijf in België met een eigen brouwerij (brasserie à la ferme). Hier worden uitsluitend bieren gebrouwen met eigen hop. Alle bieren zijn dus ook bio-gecertificeerd.

16/X/15 - 75cl bottle from Willems (Grobbendonk) @ home - BB: I/2016 (2015-1477) Thanks to beerlover_ben for picking this one up for me!

Little hazy deep blond to orange beer, creamy irregular yellowish head, pretty stable. Aroma: yeast, some banana, fruity, bit sweet. MF: soft carbon, medium body. Taste: sweet start, pretty sugary, some banana, soft bitterness. Aftertaste: some citrus, yeast, little bitter, grassy, green banana. In no way is this an ipa. First real disappointment from De Plukker. :(

From a bottle shared by Craftmember. Very thick and rocky, densely lacing, egg-white head, clearly hops-enhanced, over a lightly hazy golden blonde beer. Agreeable aroma of dried hay, field flowers, white pepper, grass, white bread, dried citrus peel, honey, peach, apple peel. Dry, crisp fruity taste, green apple, green plums and orange peel freshness, very bready and yeasty middle phase with soft to medium, minerally carbonation, finishes with noble ’Euro’ hoppiness, grassy, very floral, peppery, hayish and leafy, hiding a slight hint of whisky and lingering breadiness. Old school, but I like this a lot, it feels very fresh, honest and a bit rural, just the way I like my Belgian ale.

12/IX/15 - 33cl bottle @ Molenhof (Oostvleteren) - BB: II/2017 (2015-1180)

Clear deep blond to orange beer, big creamy off-white head, little stable, adhesive, leaving a nice lacing in the glass. Aroma: malty, pretty yeasty, sweet, some ripe banana, fruity. MF: ok carbon, full body. Taste: bitter, character, some banana, sweet malty, caramel. Aftertaste: yeasty, very fruity, banana, bit sweet, more banana. Distinct yeast profile, soft bitterness, was expecting more bitterness from this hop farmer, but then again, I also know the reason why they launched this beer, so...

Huge, towering light cream-coloured head, leaving lacerings over hazy copperish golden beer. Rather neutral nose, maybe hampered by the big head. Herbs, faintly sewer-ish, putteke. Toasted flavour, very strange, part malty, part... yeah, what? Rotting vegetable matter comes to mind, and a hint of dry chocolate. Finish gets sweeter, gradually. Medium bodied, very slick, (hop)oily feel. Well-carbonated. IPA, my *ss - not even a classical British one. Get Belgian ales correct first, then start experimenting.

Clear warm golden colour, slightest haze, white head. Malty, light hoppy aroma, apricot, caramel, light fruity, yeast, some straw. Sweet malty flavour, light bitter, caramel, dried apricot. Quite sweet finish, malts, caramel, sweetener, light fruity. Not exactly true to style, but still.. a bit sweet, rather enjoyable beer. (from 75cL bottle @ home. 2014 vintage)
