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.

Bouteille 33cl au Toppe, Bruxelles.
Couleur pâle, col crémeux fin mousseux blanc-cassé.
Arôme est mis en avant par le caractère de la levure qui apporte de fins effluves fruités - poire avec un léger rétro-nasal du Mandarina qui confère des pointes rappelant la mandarine.
Palais est sympa avec tout de même le côté plus drêche/céréale qui perdure. Cependant, ce caractère de levure de pichia kluyveri qui semble être une levure utilisée dans le vin. Cette dernière vient ajouter un fruité assez conséquent en bouche dont un effet de poire assez marqué et un effet pêche/abricot . Cela tend à donner une certaine rondeur en bouche avec ce côté velouté fruité. Le tout est repris par une légèreté du houblon - ici qcq notes d'agrumes.

330 ml bottle. Grapefruit, weed, ginger, some herbs, sugar. Dry zesty sourness and bitterness with some fruity sugary sweetness. Light bodied, watery texture, lively to fizzy carbonated, dry zesty bitter sour finish. Not bad, but needs more refinement.

Bottle. Med-thin body, medium carbonation. Medium bitterness, med-light grainy astringency. Low sweetness. Flavour-wise this is mostly bready, grainy, a bit of earthy hops character, slightly spicy. Overall very neutral, but at least it is rather clean. Okay.

50 cl bottle. A slightly hazy golden pour, with a greenish cast. Thick, dense, long-lasting off-white head. Aroma is dust, ash, stale bread, iron filings. Dry and full-bodied onset, not enough acidity and a mild bitterness. Terrible sweaty gym locker-room finish that completely ruins an already bad beer.
