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.

Full body. Taste of roasted malts, honey, nuts and hopbitters. Aftertaste is hopbitter, spices and bitter lemon.

Good, yellow-amberish tinted head, stable; over hazy straw-golden beer. Chalk upon opening, CO², grass, and (deep)frying oil. Dry-bitterish on a (pale) malty-background. Reasonable balance. Grassy/spicy hops, and again a point of (vegetable) frying oil returning. Medium bodied, very light alcoholwarming, slick. Quite reasonable beer, nothing special.
