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. Pours pinkish. Off white head. Nose of cherry pie and cherry juice. Some hints of caramel candy. Taste is mostly cherry, pie crust and unidentifiable sweetness. Less artificial tasting than some krieks. I donβt get that dietary sugar feel to it that I get with some others. Still, its a bit thin and more like a cherry juice than a beer.

3/04/2011 33cl bottle @ home - BB: 4/2011 (2011-131)
A bit cloudy pale yellow beer, little flecks floating around. Off-white creamy head, non adhesive and non stable. Aroma: dirty yeast, a bit chemical, alcohol, sugar, some spices. MF: ok carbon, light body. Taste: citrussy hops, some sugary sweetness. Aftertaste: again the citrussy hops, a little more bitter. Is this the Herkenrode Bruin without the colorants? Lame and boring beer. If the Best Before date is correct, this beer has already had a whole year of re-fermentation in the bottle. Doesn't taste like it at all...

Completely clear ruby to reddish brown beer, off-white head, unstable, dissipates fast, non adhesive. Aroma: sweet caramel, sweet fruits, sugar. MF: almost no carbon, light body. Taste: citrussy hops, that's pretty much it. Aftertaste: a little citrussy hops again. Must be the most boring thing I tasted in a long time.

(bottle, 33cl) Hazy, orange-amber colour with a beige and medium-sized foamy head. Sweet and bready cara-malty aroma with a nutty touch and notes of dried figs. Sugary sweet flavour, medium to full bodied with a soft carbonation. Strong and sugary cara-malt character with a light fruity touch; sweet and sticky malt-accented finish. Too simple and sweet. 21.III.11
