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.

Hazy pale golden colour-very close to white with a soapy white head. Very nice appearance! Aroma of pure skunk, lemons, curacao, coriander seed and some wheat. Medium-bodied; Strong coriander seed flavour with a good curacao background. Aftertaste shows some wheat and a slight citrus twang. Dry in the aftertaste as well. Overall, a nice belgie white, definately unexpected! I bought this twelve ounce bottle at Beers of the World in Rochester, New York and sampled it on 26-May-2004.

A red beer with a huge pink head that laces the glass. The aroma is sour with notes of green leaves, blackberries, and black currant. The flavor is of blackberries, black currant and a dry hoppy end. And the body is thin - so it taste like a too thin fruit syrup.

Black (very deep red) colour, with a pinkish head, which is rapidly and almost fully diminishing. Good lacing. Fruity (myrtilles) aroma, some soured milk too. Neutral flavour, little bit sourish in the end. Disappointing.

(Well-aged sample) Amber with a burgundy-mauve shine, all clear; little white rim. Little madeirisation in a very sweet nose, fruitsugars, brown sugar. Fruitjuice flavours and madeirisation vie about domination. Sugar, point, wins. Excessively sweet. Fruity but not natural. Bit of esters all the same. Thank God this is very light. If not, it would be pure syrup. Whether aged or fresh, this beer is horribly sweet. Sugared fruitjuice, diluted with weak beer. For non-beer lovers.

Blond clear body with a long-lasting, off-white frothy head. Alcoholic and flowery flavours, smells also a little bit like apple-juice or yoghurt. Bitter flavour, little bit soury too. It is a really disgusting beer.

Pours a hazy dark yellow color with a thin white head. Very little lacing. Lots and lots of flakes of sediment swirling around the glass. Aroma of yeast and spice. Crisp body with flavors of mild spice, citrus and yeast. The finish is a little peppery. This is an average Wit overall.

Clear yellow color, short lasting head. Aroma of flowers, soap, bit spicy, bit hoppy. Taste is watery, spicy. Bitter palate. If you've read this, it doesn't sound too bad, but the combination is just horrible. Probably one of the worst tripels i've ever tasted. It's more like a strong pilsener.
