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.

(Bottle, 0.33 l, at Tuulensuu, 20251110) The beer poured deep golden and lightly hazy. Its head was medium sized and white. Aroma had grass, honey, fruitiness and spicy yeast. 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.

11.2 oz. (330 ml) bottle
5.0% ABV
Best before: 28/04/24
$13.99 4-pk @ Winter Springs Liquor

AROMA: Mildly sweet with mild scents of malt and bread. As the beer warms, I get ever-so-faint hints of green apple.

APPEARANCE: Pours a clear light-gold with a (barely) 1-finger, tight-froth, off-white, head that dissipates fairly quickly with decent lacing. It looks fine in my clear glass but the head needs to last much longer.

TASTE: Mildly sweet with mild flavors of malt and caramel. The finish has a touch of bitterness and mineral "tang".

MOUTHFEEL: Medium-bodied with a somewhat "grabby" texture. Carbonation seems slightly above-average. The finish is medium dry.

OVERALL: I can't say that I am bowled over by this beer. It has very simple flavors, aromas, and texture. Yet, somehow, I find myself enjoying it.

I don't know if I would ever buy this again, but only because I have a lot of other beers on my "try it" list. However, I would gladly drink another if I was ever offered one.

330ml bottle from Noz Nieppe. Pours a deep clear reddish chestnut amber, good frothy off-white head. Quite a full flavoured red.. deep amber malt character with autumnal sweet tangents. Nice.

Bottle at home, hazy yellow beer, small head. Aroma is sweet, apple, pear. Taste is the same, and sucralose, why add sucralose to this? horrible sweetness at the end, drainpour.
