Description
Brewery Vandenbroek is a small family brewery. Craft and trust in nature are our driving forces. The brewery-housing and brewery equipment are fully self-designed and self-built as a lambic brewery. We have two brass woodfired coppers, a traditional cooling tun where -after hours of cooking- the wort will cool the night over and a beer cellar filled with oak barrels.
This creates the base for some very special beers. The brewing process is based on pure manual labor with a minimum of machines. That’s why we call our beers handcrafted. The fermentation and ripening of our beers are all natural, without any artificial cooling, just as in the old times. As a result, the seasons clearly influence the taste. We believe that high quality does not necessarily mean constant quality. Plan to be surprised. Cheers!

Unclear golden, white ring head. Flinty smell. Soft sour grains, hay, berries, peach, grapes. Mild sour, soft fizzy carb. Pretty nice, crisp and fruity.

Bottle shared. Clear deep golden with small white head. Lots of oak, yoghurt, dry leafy notes, light apricot but really not too fruit forward, quite malty, bit dusty. Medium sweet, lighter sour and bitter. Over medium bodied with soft carbonation. Quite OK, though I expected a bit more.

Bottle, many thanks kraddel! Rather clear rosé-amber color with white head. Aroma is red wine grapes, strong funk and leather. Taste is juicy red grapes, wood, funky Lambic, and quite some tannins. Sparkly carbonation. Great stuff!
