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.

Leicht süßer und würziger Geruch. Frischer milder Kräuterantrunk, Knoblauch ist weder hier noch sonstwo zu erkennen. Sehr weich, das Bier wirkt hier außerdem etwas zu mild. Im Abgang dagegen ist das Bier würziger mit wenig Kräutereinfluss, dies wirkt harmonisch, leider folgt dem nun hopfigen Part ein trockener Abgang. Test vom 4.3.2008, Gebinde: Fass Noten: 12,8,9,11,7,10 - 9,75

Bottle Blond, clear body. Creamy, white, longlasting head. Lightly hoppy aroma. Not very interesting. Moderately bitter, lightly sweet flavour. Not exciting at all.

Bottled. An unclear golden beer with a thick lazing off-white head. The aroma is sweet malty with notes of garlic. The flavor is sweet malty with notes of spices (normal beer spices like coriander etc.) as well as garlic, leading to a dry bitter and spicy finish. The body is thicker than medium.

33 cL bottle thanks to Ungstrup. Pours hazy yellow with a white head. Very herbal garlic aroma. Flavour is soft malty but mainly heavy garlic flavour. Soft finish, once I get past the garlic it is okay but the garlic aroma ruines this beer for me.

33cl bottle from Noel Cuveliers. Gold/orange with lasting beige head. Belgian yeast aroma, tangerine citrus too. Nice hop kick on the finish. Some tangerine/caramel. Pleasant.

Bottled. Hazy golden, small head. Strong aroma of ripe red apples. Sweet and fruit with evident yeast character. Rounded mouthfeel with some lively carbonation. Feels like a standard offereing from de Proef with no flaws, but also nothing to separate it from the mainstream Belgian ales. And at 8% I require more character from a beer.

2009-02-20, draught at Ølbaren, Copenhagen, 7-4-6-3-13=33
Hazy golden color; creamy head. Delicate aroma, with some farm, and Belgian yeast; light honey. Ordinary malt flavor, a bit of hay and light Belgian yeast. Correct bitterness. Not impressive.

2006-10-17, bottle, 7-4-7-3-14=35
Cloudy golden color; generous creamy head. Quite original beer, a Belgian blond ale with a touch of herbs, giving a nicer aroma but not that impressive taste; light soap aroma. Residual sweetness, and some vegetables. Dry final with strong bitterness.

Slightly hazed, orange beer; fluffy off-white head. Very orangey/citrussey nose, bit of ...wheat? - something grainy, not like your usual malt. Alcoholic flavour, with alcoholic sweetnes, and still some traces of the citrus, but less markedly than the nose; oranges, figs, preserved fruit. SLick, alcoholwarming, well bodied, near chewy despite the thinnning cold it is served at. Nice beer. Bit stereotypic, but not without merits. The beer is currently brewed at De Proef, the brewery in Kuringen is only for trial brews, and training of aspiring-brewers. new trial Aug, 18 : Slightly oppressing nose, which, if one knows the ingredient, is easily identified as garlic. Much more pronounced as in the first bottle. Sweetish spicey taste, bit oily MF.
