Description
The organic brewing project of Gert Jordens, official since 2010 but active as a home brewer since 1999. Originally the beers were made at the Proefbrouwerij but production moved to Anders (and sometimes Strubbe) in 2013. One of the very few Belgian brewing companies which produce only organic beers; hops are exclusively sourced from Joris Cambie's organic hop farm in Poperinge. Exports 22% of its production, primarily to the Netherlands.

Pours clear yellow. Good white head. Smell is citrus, a lot like lemon without the sourness. dry. Taste is Sharp, bit to the bitter side. Again lemon-citrussy. Too much carbo, and the MF is on the low side. The taste is decent though, and overall, it think this is a very uncommon take on the style. Is it better than others? not sure. But I can imagine people discussing this as awefull VS the best , and thats what makes beer truly interesting, isn’t it ?

Draught at Het Haasken in Diest. Dense, creamy, moussy, eggwhite head over a light hazy old gold coloured beer with greenish hue. Aroma of grass, straw, apple peel, cardboard, bubblegum, banana, gooseberry, white bread and a light off-flavour of stale sweat. Crisp onset, fruity with hints of gooseberry, banana and apricot but otherwise dryish, strong carbo even for the style, light sourish graininess in the middle, smooth, with a grassy, spicy hop bitterishness in the finish and some warming alcohol. Very cliché tripel which does not add anything to the style, but acceptable as such.

10/10/2015 - 33cl bottle @ Bles Beerhappening, Zottegem. Blond colour with nice white head. Nice carbonation. Grains, spices, light lemon, refreshing. Compared with a Vicaris Quinto, this one won for me.
