Description
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.

Bottle. Weak old hop aroma. Slightly hazy golden colour. Big, stable, rocky white head. Not very flavourful, yeasty, wheaty. Boring bitterness in aftertaste, which is thin and slightly unpleasant.

Bottle. Hey its amber coloured! Thick lasting beige head. Cereal and yeast on aroma. Bit of lemon and unexpected banana. Bit thin in mouth, or maybe I just had it too cold. Some candy sugar and then hoppy/yeast finish.

Bottle (@ Leon de Belge, Essen): Fruity (citousy) nose with a distinctive touch of yeast; hazy, golden coloured, small white head, quite stable; mild, sweetish-fruity flavour; short, a bit hoppy, but mainly fruity, yeasty finish. Unspectacular ale, quite well drinkable....

Bottled. Hazy orange colour, mediumsized foamy head. Barnyardish aroma with caramelly hints. Flavour almost the same. Boring beer with no surprises. Prefer the brune....

(Bottle 33 cl) Pours a hazy golden with lots of impurities and a creamy, off-white head. Lightly perfumy aroma - the coriander is very present. Full-bodied with a distinct malty sweetness and loads of citrus and coriander flavours. Appears more like a strong, Belgian "Blonde" - is a bit too vague to be a real triple. 090406

Bottle. Not sure if this is exactly my 1500th beer, but that is where I am upto in my backlog at the moment. Gold colour with thick white head. Yeasty citric blond beer. Bit too over carbonated. Bit sweetish too. Tad bland. Not terrible but just not exciting either.
