Description
Brouwerij De Vriendschap werd in 2013 opgericht door Aart van Bergen en Peter Harms. In eerste instantie maakte de brouwerij gebruik van de brouwfaciliteiten van de Sallandse Landbier Brouwerij in Raalte. In de loop van 2014 opende de brouwerij haar eigen brouwerij in de kleedkamers van het voormalig sportpark De Melkweg. Eind 2015 begon Aart van Bergen zijn eigen brouwerij Walhalla Craft Beer. In 2016 staakte Peter Harms zijn brouwactiviteiten.

0.33 l bottle at Marko’s place, best before June 2016, thanks Marko for sharing! Clear, pale golden amber with a tan to white head. Sweetish-malty, slightly spicy aroma caramel, honey, some vanilla and some marmelade. Sweetish-malty, slightly spicy taste of caramel, honey, some vanilla and a bit of plastic, followed by a medium long, slightly bitter, rather boozy finish. Medium to full body, oily mouthfeel, flat. Not that good.

Sweetish, fruity-spicy taste of blackberry, licorice, orange jam, some honey and toffee, followed by a short, slightly bitter, spicy finish. Medium body, slightly creamy mouthfeel, flat. Just on the edge of being too spicy, don’t like it that much, still quite okay though.

Retronasal still herbs & spices, coconut, slightly spicy. Flavor is moderate sweet, with spices.Light to medium bodied. There’s some spiciness that’s warming, perhaps the ginger.
