4, Rue de Bertinchamps, Gembloux, 5030, Belgium
Description
The Humblet family was in search of a site to build a new brewery & continue their tradition and long list of beers brewed by their father, Benoit Humblet.
In 2011, they discovered the farm of Bertinchamps, dating back to 1343, situated not far from Gembloux.
Although extremely old and decayed, the farm had stunning character, situated in an environment that equals its prestige. It was time for some rejuvenation and the renovation project began immediately. Almost 2 years of remarkable work and finally in March 2013 the brewing system was installed in the old barns. Ultra modern fermentation tanks of a capacity of 6.000HL, an astonishing contrast of modern technology and the farm dating back more than 7 centuries.

500ml bottle from Auchan. Pours clear gold, good white head. Aroma is sweet, floral, yeasty. Taste follows with a vibrant sweet, balanced character. Unlike previous ratings I thought this was pretty decent and felt it stands out a lot more from the majority of Belgian blondes.
