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.

Hazy golden with medium head. Yeast aroma with coriander and orange peel notes. Same goes for the flavor with a hoppy end. Good balanced for witbier of this strenght.

Hazy golden with huge lasting head. Orange peel, yeast and flowers dominates the aroma. Flavor is sweet and yeasty with malt and spicy notes. Somewhat perfurmy. Alcohol is well hidden and it ends dry

6.3/10 — Appearance 8 Aroma 6 Flavor 6 Texture 6 Overall 6
Golden beer, with a greenish shine; small, off-white head. Very grainy nose, with garden herbs aroma. Again typically grainy in the taste, raw grain rather than malt. Dull. Light MF, probably less than really the case - unless this is very much fermented out, with a very low apparent gravity. Empty & dull.

Bottle: Poured a murky orange with thin white head. The aroma is spice with malt and some yeast. Taste is sweet malt, subsides a bit to give that pleasant spice and hop finish.
