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 25 cl) My version was 4,5% ABV. Pale red colour, pretty much like a traditional kriek actually. Tall, pretty, pinkisk and almost velvety head. Some underlying sweetness from the blueberries but not overwhelmingly so. On the contrary this is rather dry and never cloying as with some of the more pop-like fruit-beers. Based on pils, which is fairly unusual. 130795

Ruby red with creamy violet head, lace. Aroma of leather and blueberry. Artificial sugar and blueberry flavors. Dry, slightly bittersweet aftertaste. Artificial, just drinkable.

Cloudy reddish brown color; light pink head, big. Very nice aroma of blueberry. The flavor is simple but ok, with moderate sweetness and some fruitness, but the palate is biting bitter, not enjoyable finish.

Bought this fall 2004 at LCBO. Hazy white with a thick creamy lacing white head. Aroma of wheat, yeast and lemony coriander. Creamy mouthfeel, sweet and smooth. Notes of bananas and light spices, lacking in depth. OK white.

This beer poured a cloudy pale yellow with a bright white foamy head. The first sniff noticed the usual yeast from a wheat beer. Slightly peppery with a hint of fruit. The first sip was watery and metallic. Sharp on the tongue. It had the usual yeastyness of most belgian beers. The finish was just of yeast and that was it. The palate was pretty much the same.

(I’ll have to join Josh with a very aged one) Beer itself very clear foxy-amber, but dark flunky bits get stirred up, only to settle again; off-white head, fast gone, big bubbles. Biscuit, bit of port, but also faint fruity nose, like blueberries. Generally speaking very watery. Bit of caramel and biscuit in the taste, but overlying is a metallic-bitter flavour. Portwine flavours, but faint. Somehow the bitterness doesn’t translate as hoppy to me. Extremely light, watery texture. Aftertaste gets a bit creamier, but metallic tang keeps very apparent. Weak, faint-fruity and unrefined ale. Young too, no mistake.
