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 thanks to Big Dave. It pours hazy orange - amber with a thick, foamy white head. The nose is fresh, quite herbal, earthy, dried grass and straw. The taste is crisp, bitter, spicy, herbal, orange peel, lemongrass, grainy, cracker and some florals with a dry finish. Medium body and high carbonation. Too herbal for the likes of me. Ok at best.

Marrón, turbia. No mucha espuma, jabonosa. Aroma a levadura y notas acidas. En boca cuerpo moderado y gas notable. El sabor tira a seco, con base malteada y contrapunto ligeramente ácido sin llegar a molestar ---Rated via Beer Buddy for iPhone

(Draught at In De Wildeman, Amsterdam, 26 Aug 2015) Yellow colour, slightly hazy, with frothy white head. Fruity, slightly malt nose with white bread, peaches and floral hops. Fruity, malty taste with notes of peaches, white bread and gentle floral bitterness in the finish. Medium body, with a touch of sweetness. Tasty and well balanced, but nothing extra. Quite nice.
