Description
Wat in de zomer van 2013 begon als een bierproeversclubje onder enkele vrienden is sindsdien uitgegroeid tot het zelf ontwikkelen en brouwen van onze eigen bieren.
Na verloop van tijd werden onze brouwsels op gejuich onthaald door vrienden en familie. We besloten om dit eens te toetsen aan de buitenwereld. Zo gezegd, zo gedaan: we schreven ons in voor de Brouwland Biercompetitie "Beste hobbybrouwer van de Lage Landen". Na enkele maanden hard werk: brouwen, proeven en vooral laten proeven stuurden we 1 van onze brouwsels in voor deze competitie. Na de positieve feedback door vrienden en familie volgde nu de bekroning door een zeskoppige professionele jury en werden we op 23 mei 2015 uit 190 deelnemende teams verkozen tot “Beste hobbybrouwers der lage landen”.
Na deze overwinning belsloten wij (Paul Schraepen, Stijn Vaes en Stein Wuestenberghs) gebruik te maken van de gelegenheid en op 24 september werd Brouwerij Den Druppel boven de doopvont gehouden…

Tasting glass from 750 ml. bottle @ VBF 2017.Very dark brown to black, little tanned head. Coffee in the nose is really massive, almost pure coffee beans, some licorice underneath, zero Citra,... Big fizzy bodied, nowhere as thick as you would hope, lacks body, massive roasted solid coffee & more coffee, licorice, low bark, herbs,... Nice concept, Citra is lost, lacks body & coffee dominates everything. Not bad but would pale next to a decent RIS.

75 cl bottle. Pours black indeed ! head is pretty big, light mocha color. Smell is bitter, very sharp bitterness ! roasty, coffee. Taste is intense, full-on coffee, roasty, black malts. Very nice, perhaps a bit too much on the coffee. Could have also used more body, and -as a personal preference- i’d like it more sweet (in this style) the carbonation is high, but not overly extreme. aftertaste is warm, full, still coffee roast.In general, very decent !

Hell hopfig-klebriger Beginn. Trockene milde Bitterkeit, die im Mittelteil etwas weicher wird. Typisch belgische Hefenoten, spät etwas alkoholisch. Würzig. 11/11/8/9/7/9

Huge, dense, light-yellowish head over clear copperish golden beer. Quite spicy nose, flowery, garden herbs, green fruit, fresh wild hops. Bitter-hoppy, but again quite herbal flavour, and yet again, green, unripe fruit - if bitter rather than sour. Lunaria, flowery, lupuline. Medium bodied, creamy head remains throughout, hopoily, medium carbonation. Truth to be told, I quite like this one.

330 ml. bottle @ home. BBF 27/08/2017 (seems slightly excessive). Purchased @ local Delhaize. Hazy golden, huge disappearing paper-white head. Creamy for sure at first. Nose is huge esters, very Belgian & very big soap sweetness, cheap white sugar candy, big industrial yeast, more esters, industrial excessive fare. Taste is hugely sweet, industrial, cheap sweetener & massive esters, very chemical, faint green banana, massive chemical sweetness, yeast, heavy white sugar, very cheap candy, artificial lemon,… Fizzy & industrial body. I don’t get this one, I quite loved the other winners so far but this one tastes like something that a major commercial brewery would make in Belgium if they felt the need to same something supposedly hoppy. From a macro brewery one can expect something like this but a small & new one? I don’t get this one, somewhat unbefitting to be honest.
