Description
Brewery De Graal (the name is Dutch for 'the grail') is a young Belgian artisanal, yet automated, brewery located in Brakel, in the heart of the beautiful region that is commonly called 'the Flemish Ardennes'. The brewery of graduate brewer Wim Saeyens started in early 2002, and has known a consistent growth ever since. In the summer of 2016 the brewery moved to a new building.
Continuous investments in the latest brewing technologies have made it possible for brewery De Graal to keep up with the increasing demand for high quality beers. The export market to countries such as the US, Japan, Italy and Denmark is particularly on the rise. In addition to the main activity, the brewing of six different beers under its own De Graal brand name, the brewery is also specialized in producing custom-made specialty beers.

(Bottle 33 cl) Courtesy of yespr. Hazy golden with tiny, floating impurities and a dense, white head. Fruity, sweetish aroma. Quite full-bodied with a pleasant, sweet fruitiness, yeast and a somewhat astringent, phenollic finish that also shows quite some alcohol. 160408

A pretty anonymous white beer with a slightly sweet edge. Fairly plain but easy to drink.

Bottle, courtesy of thewolf. A nice-looking beer with an almost clear body, golden color and a white head. Ginger, sweetness and some malt in the aroma. The flavor is sweet and gingery with pale malt and a touch of other spices. Quite dusty, effervescent, sweetish and full-bodied mouthfeel. Sweet, fruity, malty finish with a good dash of ginger. A nice beer, but I think I would prefer it without the ginger. (080301)

750 ml bottle from Liquid Solutions. Aroma of light funk, citrus and floral. Slightly hazy orange tinged color with a decent white head. Medium body with creamy carbonation. Flavor is fruity (apricot?), yeasty, lightly funky, hint of malty. Finish is very clean, and tending towards dry. It’s really quite a taste treat.

Recht milder Malzantrunk, etwas kraftlos. Statt der erwarteten Intensitätssteigerung im Mittelteil bleibt das Bier weiter mild, eine leichte Kräuternote verschwindet schnell wieder im Nichts. Die dunkelmalzige, etwas ins Röstige gehende Note gefällt, ist aber viel viel zu mild. Entäuschend. Test vom 30.3.2008, Gebinde: Glasflasche Noten: 12,6,7,8,7,7 - 7,50

750 ml bottle from Liquid Solutions. Aromas of fruit, yeast, candi and spice. Orange tinged golden color with a huge white head. Medium body with mild carbonation. Seems to be a touch of ginger in the flavor along with bits of citrus things. Very smooth. It’s really rather dry. Very tasty through to the finish.
