About
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, 6.5%. Citric raisin aroma. Clear dark brown colour. Very big stable rocky tan head. The flavour is fairly sweet with a mild vinous note, a little raisin and a faint metallic hint. Woody acid, some tobacco. Finishes drier than it starts.

Bottle from a Carrefour. Pours hazy amber/brown with a small, off-white head. Subtle aroma of brown sugar, ripe banana & peach, hint of berries, yeast, herbs. It tastes medium sugary sweet, bit fruity, and light spicy bitter; dry, herbal hop finish. Medium body, slick texture, fizzy carbonation. Likeable and quenching.

Oh man, I feel so bad rating this right after Ernest, the Saison king. Why? Well he found this dull and bland. Me, I find it refreshingly not sucky. It seems like I actually haven't purchased a 750mL of Belgian beer in forever, especially a new beer. So, I have been drinking wannabe Saisons from shit American brewers. So, I'm happy I'm drinking what I actually consider a Saison. So, bland for Ernest is refreshingly novel for me. Very dough and herbal yeast beer. Sparkling and mineral mouthfeel. Light sweetness bur enough herbal to bakance the two. I think we can all agree its not offensive. It's all about context.
