About
Brasserie du Bocq was set up in 1858 by Martin Belot. The Brewery was incorporated into a limited company in 1949. Independent of any Belgian or foreign brewer, it still beholds its own family nature. Located in the heart of the Condroz, wonderful tourist region, this dynamic company still uses the traditional manufacturing process of top-fermentation beers with secondary fermentation in the bottle.
In 1983, Brasserie du Bocq abandons the exploitation of Central Brasserie Marbaix -La-Tour, to bring all the beer production back to Purnode where the production tools have been radically modernized on the basis of equity. Today in Purnode, although the Belot family has sold its assets to the Keersmaekers family who has been producing the Corsendonk at the Brasserie du Bocq for over 30 years, and even though the brewery has far exceeded its regional framework, nothing has changed and the values of the company remain intact.

Cette Gauloise blonde est une Belge très moyenne qui n'est pas très affriolante. Avec une petite acidité et un équilibre perfectible, le style connait bien mieux. Le visuel est sur un blond doré limpide avec une fine effervescence soutenue et une mousse blanche et crémeuse de 2 cm. Le nez est simple mais pas déplaisant sur le blé, une touche de coriandre et du citron. En bouche les déséquilibres se font ressentir. De l'acidité apparaît dès l'attaque avec des arômes peu attrayants et un alcool à 6,3 qui dénote quelque peu. L'ensemble est homogène avec une corpulence limitée, même si l'arrière bous est un peu plus acide. Le final est sans grand intérêt mais relativement long. Sans intérêt.

Bottle, 0.33l. Aroma of banana, yeast and grass with phenolic note. Pours clear golden color with thin creamy white head and sparkling appearance. Taste starts medium sweet grainy and yeasty, following is dried fruity and slightly medicinal, mouthfeel is warm alcoholic while finish is average bitter. Full body, oily texture and lively carbonation in palate. Mortal kombat…

Servida en tulipa, color amarillo pálido, pajizo, casi blanquecino, turbia, corona de espuma blanca, cremosa y abundante de buena retención. Aroma muy ortodoxo al estilo, levadura, pan, especias, nota de coriandro, cítricos... En boca tiene una notable toque, cítrico, ligeramente ácida, tenuemente dulce, astringente, algo acuosa, notas de trigo, levadura, cítricos. Una cerveza que no va muy lejos en complejidad, agradable, fácil de beber y muy fiel al estilo. Disfrutable y correcta.
