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!

On cask at Proeflokaal Arendsnest, pours a clear copper with a small white head. Aroma has some cardboard notes, some leather and gentle funk. Flavour has plenty of oxidation, carbonation, some funk, and a little funk. Lots of oxidation and bitterness on the finish. Leaves plenty to be desired.

Süffiger, mild säuerlicher Beginn mit deutlicher aber passender Trockenheit im Hintergrund. Der Rosmarin ist leider ziemlich mild, spritzig, moderate Herbe. Süffig, würzig, mittellanger Abgang mit leicht steigender Säure. Nett! 7/10/11/11/9/11

Cask at ardesnest, please forgive me if I entered this at the wrong place... small stable head, light hazy dark orange to light brown, apple, light over ripe oranges, some lactic notes, light leather, not overly sour. Quite simple but highly enjoyable.
