Description
The Budelse Brouwerij (Budels Brewery) is a family business that still values the traditions that have guided the brewery for centuries now. It's been at the very heart of the village of Budel in Brabant since 1870. Founded 150 years ago by Gerardus Arts as Brouwerij de Hoop (the Hope Brewery). Today, the fourth generation of the Arts family is at the helm and we are just as committed to the brewing as our ancestors.

bottle, kindly donated by Bierkoning - Danke! Clear pale golden colour, small white head. Hoppy nose, which surprised me - reminded me of a Bavarian Pils. The flavours start with hops (reminding me of beers from the Allgäu), honey is blending in soon. The honey complemements the hoppy character of the beer surpsisingly well - this is delicious!

[Gravity cask at Back of Beyond, Reading] Murky orange, thin white head. Sweet and rather cloying from the off; apple and caramel, toffee and banana. Earthy bitterness comes through in the finish, but not enough to balance the sweetness. A bit like a sweet belgian ale mixed witha hefe and a traditional British bitter. A really odd beer; I couldn’t decide if I liked it or not.

Cask at The Penny Black, JDW, Bicester, Oxon, 14-04-10 Pours amber with a white head, touch of haze. This is heavy in the mouth, its fine, but quite thick and cloyingly sweet, alcohol shows. Some fudge flavours come through, a ’One Trick Pony’ but interspersed with sips from the Brewdog Trashy Blond it makes for quite an interesting experience. A6 A3 F6 P3 Ov13 3.0

Cask handpull at Samuel Peto, JDW, Folkestone. Copper brown colour with lasting cream head. Sweet fruit salad on the flavour. No faults in brewing just terribly sweet and too sweet to be pleasant.
