Description
The world of beer is incredibly rich and divers. We want our beers to echo that diversity. We want to pair tradition with innovation,we respect our Belgian roots but we also keep track of evolutions in Belgium and abroad, Our brewing installation was custom built for us to enable us to go wide in beerstyles en wild in our experiments. From blonde to dark, bitter to sweet, malty to hoppy, fruity or roasted, quaffable or sturdy,…anything goes. We started our very first ‘brewmonth’ with a pale ale, afterwards we brewed a farmhouse tripel, aWest Coast IPA and a Baltic Porter. We immediately set the tone for what you can expect from us, a trip around the world in beer. Sometimes quite familiar, other times surprisingly new but always worth the travel.

Pours light, very hazed yellow, wheat like. scent is quite nice, fine yet pronounced, for the style. Subtile fruityness, mild wheat, candy-necklace. Taste is Surprisingly bitter, quite sharp, intense. Fruity, grapes, citrus, green treefruit, but also slightly tropical like mango come to mind. Very candy-necklace like subtility. To the dry side, but not as dry as I expected. Very drinkable, and enjoyable !

Superficial sample from Billie’s craft beer fest 2025. Pale golden body under a white head. Rather ordinary pilsner with a bit extra on the hop side, fruity and grassy. Decent bitterness.

Pours unclear blonde. Medium sized, stable but not super moussy white head. Scent is full, citric, dank. pronounced hops, mild on yeast, hidden on malts. Taste is full, slightly bitter. Very 'chewy' creamyness, not very smooth. Hops are very dank, citrussy only in second place. Bit rough around the edges, on what should be very smooth, or a lot more 'clean' if the OG style of Neipa was intended. Medium body, medium to medium high carbo. Not at all a bad beer, but sub average for brewery and beerstyle.
