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.

Fully clear gold, small off-white head. Very dusty, grainy, nose, and VERY little apples or whatever. Very pale, dull pale malt flavours; fruity esters but very discreet. Watery doesn’t come close to describe the palate. Ouch. This is an outright desaster.
