Description
Gestart in 2000 met het hobbybrouwen hebben we veel bieren kunnen ontwikkelen. Het ene lekker en snel op, het andere wat minder en snel weg. Toch evolueerde het bier en het werd steeds beter gesmaakt door vrienden en familie. De installatie groeide ook van de 30l naar 100l en verder naar 200l. Sinds september 2015 is de brouwerij gestart. Klein en ambachtelijk maar met de volle goesting om de bierliefhebbers van lekkere en toegankelijke bieren te voorzien. Na onze start zijn we stapsgewijs gegroeid. in 2016 zijn er 2 nieuwe ketels bijgekomen (400 en 500 liter). Eind 2017 een nieuwe afvullijn. Zo werken we verder aan de uitbouw van onze brouwerij. Maar het ambachtelijke en toch constante kwaliteit leveren blijven vaste waardes naar de toekomst toe.

Hazy pale golden colour; huge frothy white to off-white head, slowly collapsing, good lacing. Aroma pale malts, yeast, lemon, orange, mango, apricot, coriander and cloves notes. Taste light heavy to medium sweet and light bitter, malty, fruity, yeasty. Sweetbitter aftertaste, fruity, yeasty, light spicy notes. Medium body, creamy texture, lively carbonation, bit overcarbonated and quite yeasty, but a nice fruity and 'summerly' blond, certainly not an IPA.

Beetje waterachtig maar toch eigen karaktertje. Gaat richting koffie / chocolade stout maar gelukkig net niet erover.

Een blond winterbier kom je niet vaak tegen. Helemaal niet zoet. Heerlijk bitter en bloemig. Volle ronde hopsmaak.

At Winter Beer Fest 2017, Waregem. Shared with Anke!
Labeled '17-18'. Clear golden with a small, foamy, white head. Aroma of yeast, spices, hops, touch of banana & ripe fruits. It tastes medium spicy bitter and light fruity sweet. Bit of a metallic, dry & alcoholic finish. Medium body, slick texture, lively carbonation. Unusual for a winter beer, of course, but anyway overly spiced to my taste.

Stevige bitterheid. Houttoetsen. Iets te veel koolzuur

Thanks! Sampled bottled @ Modeste 2017. Orange off-white head, massive carbonation is even visible. Nose is sweet grainy over-carbonated soap. Carbonation is so massive, really awful kills a lot of the thin taste which is good since it tastes like spoiled esters, fizzy perfume & something rotting. Yikes.

Thanks! Sampled bottled @ Modeste 2017. Dark red amber, tanned head. Nose is weird herbal bark chemical syrup. Carbonation is so massive, really awful kills a lot of the thin taste which is good since it tastes like rotting bark, spoiled fruit & fish.

Thanks! Sampled bottled @ Modeste 2017. Orange, creamy white head. Nose is fizzy awful chemical perfume. Horribly over-carbonated. Taste fizzy perfume, carbonation kills most of the taste which is awfully chemical, esters, perfume, oh lord no.
