Description

Originally the beers were made at the Proefbrouwerij but production moved to Anders (and sometimes Strubbe) in 2013.

Exports 22% of its production, primarily to the Netherlands.

Bottle from Dranken Geers, Oostakker, Nr Gent, Belgium, 01.10.10 consumed at home 03.10.10. Pours puddle brown with off-white head. The aroma is malty but also a little meaty. Nice soft mouthfeel, med’ carbonation. Despite being 7% it’s a touch thin I feel reminding me of a fairly ordinary British Mild but on steroids, bit caramelly, but there is some oomphh..

750 c&c shared by Marcus. Garlic? Pours hazy gold witha foamy off-wite head. Aromas of ripe yellow fruit, kandi and some yeast/spice. Med. body with foamy carbonation. Barely a hint of garlic, though somewhat peppery, so that might be it. Not bad at all.
