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.

[i] [b] ZBF 2008 on the Saturday [/i] [/b] Some vanilla and hops on the nose of this nice looking golden/amber beer. Softness and creaminess combine with some sweetness and spices, but it’s the bitterness and fruits that start to push through and make this one quite a decent little beer.

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.

Medium white head. Hazy yellow body with lots of carbonation. Fruity, sweetish, herbal aroma with mealy, gingery notes. Sweet bitterish rounded fruity caramel taste with herbal notes. Somewhat spicy and peppery. Dry, herbal aftertaste. Not bad, but not great. (0.33l bottle.)
