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.

Bottle, 75cl corked. It’s a lightly hazy one, amber in color and topped by a dense, off-white to light beige head. The aroma is weak, mostly on the malty side, with toffee and some notes of bread. Lightly fruity. The flavor too is on the malty side, with toffee, some licorice notes and a little bitterness. Quite dry on the palate, soft carbonation and medium bodied. Toffee and some fruityness in the end. A decent one, quite tasteful and pleasant. 130215

Bottle 75 cl. Courtesy of fonefan. Pours an almost clear reddish amber with an off-white head. Lots of brown sugar and booze in the nose. Solid body, again brown sugars, dark dried fruits, subtle roast, quite some spices and a massive booziness. Certainly no Bière de Garde! 310312
