Description
De kazematten aan het Houten Paard werden gebouwd rond 1680 naar plannen van Vauban, de grote vestingingenieur van Lodewijk XIV. Deze drie unieke kazematten of soutterains maken deel uit van de 17e Eeuwse vestingen die de stad Ieper omwallen.Gedurende de eeuwen werden deze souterrains gebruikt als opslagplaats voor munitie en legermaterieel. Ze deden ook dienst als slaap- en schuilplaats voor de troepen die Ieper tijdens de vele belegeringen hebben verdedigd. Zo richtten de Britse troepen tijdens Wereldoorlog I de kazematten in als 'mess' voor de officieren. Hun commandopost, rustplaats en veldhospitaal werden in 'Hotel de Remparts', zoals de kazematten ironisch werden genoemd, ondergebracht. Ook de Britse soldatenkrant The Wipers Times werd er gedrukt. En nu is er dus een stadsbrouwerij op deze unieke locatie.

Bottle. Caramel malt aroma with notes of grainy malt, lemon, vanilla, lemongrass and spicy Belgian yeast. Pours cloudy golden-caramel colored with a finger of tan head that has excellent retention and good lacing. Starts with caramel malt, grainy malt and lemongrass flavors. Finishes smooth and a bit dry with spicy Belgian yeast, lemony citrus and vanilla flavors. A little different from traditional tripels but tasty.

(Keg at Oluthuone Haka, 20251003) The beer poured golden and hazy. Its head was medium sized and white. Aroma had citrus fruits, ripe fruits, spicy yeast, floralness and honey. Palate was medium bodied with medium carbonation. Flavours were honey, earth, spicy yeast, floralness, fruitiness and bitterness. Aftertaste had honey, spicy yeast and bitterness. A nice brew with heavy yeast induced flavours and scents.
