Description
Sixth generation headstrong Belgian true craft and traditional brewery, established in the early 1800's and on the same exact location were we are still today since 1859! Call us stubborn. But we are still a family with strong values. We still brew all our beers ourselves. We still use the original copper kettles. And we can guarantee our quality for at least another 150 years! We're headstrong. True craft brewers. And we're from Belgium!! These beers were not made in someone's garage as a hobby. For six generations, brewing is our family's passion. We do not follow hypes. We stay true to the craft. Without compromises on quality. And in this respect, you can call us stubborn.

On tap at Angel, Stockport. Pours a cloudy golden yellow with a medium sized foamy almost white head and good lacing. The aroma has Belgian Malts, bananas, peel and spice. In the mouth it has typical witbier Characteristics, falling somewhere between sweet and sharp. Flavour has apples, oranges, bananas, pears and coriander, with hints of malts and soda coming later. Finish is light, fruity and slightly dry. This is a decent witbier – though would probably taste better on a warm summer’s day rather than a cold December one !

Palate was medium bodied with medium carbonation. Flavours were grass, honey, grain, fruitiness, spicy yeast and bitterness. Aftertaste had spicy yeast, fruitiness, lightly metal and medium bitterness. A mostly tasty brew despite the metal notes in the taste.
