Description
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.

Bottle 25cl, @ The Capital, Leuven. Dark brown colour, beige creamy foam. Medium carbonation. Aroma of light roasted malts with lots of caramel and brown sugar. Malty with some metallic notes. Not very well balanced.

Very good head, looking for all the world as whipped eggwhite. Hazy orange beer. Spicy nose, with a streak of old, slightly stale sherry. Rainwater, green weeds, slightly soapy. Quite bitter, as witloof/Belgian endive. Slightly metallic, not much else going on. Despite serious carbonation, stable head conveying a rather creamy MF; medium bodied. Longlasting, if mildered bitterness. Oh well... At least it smacks already more of hops, than its older Popering contender. --- Beer aliased from original tick of Keikop on 24 Sep 2011 at 11:01 - Score: Appearance - 8 | Aroma - 6 | Flavor - 6 | Texture - 6 | Overall - 6. Original review text: Head reduced to white rim in seconds; clear golden beer. Garden herbs, bit grassy, demure (why are brewers so shy of a prominent, imposing nose?). Dull grainy flavour; again a bit herbal, but finish is pure pale malts sweetness. Spritzy, light to medium bodied. Disappointing. Let’s hope the beer, when brewed at their own installation, will turn out better than this one, still brewed at De Proef (surprise, surprise). AND USE YOUR HOPS, fer chrissakes!

75cl bottle @ home shared with Dutchdrebus. Slightly hazy orange color, full sized white head that lasts for a decent while. Smell malts, lightly some fruits and some faded old hops. Taste malts, lightly hops, slightly some bitter, a touch of fruityness. Average body, firm carbonation.
