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.

2023 Small white head, fed by finely carbonated veiled orange beer. Citrus, dried herbs, special grains. Sweetish, alleviated by the high CO² content. Again a bit other grains, not very hoppy, however. Overcarbonated, slick. Decent basic beer, missing the hops gracing its name.

Bottle, 10%. Metal aroma, sweetish with berry notes. Cloudy dark golden colour. Good stable whitish head. The flavour has a good vanilla note, quite malty with a peppery finish. Not so much metal in the flavour, and it seems to be gone from the aroma also. Alcohol bitterness and vanilla in the aftertaste.

Bottle, 7.8%. Fruity, citric, farty aroma with notes of dark sugars. Cloudy dark chestnut colour. Small frothy off-white head. The flavour is nutty and roasted with a fruity barrel note. Late coffee and vanilla notes. Tobacco. Faint acid. Well-balanced, especially for a BA.

Dark blond colour with thin wispy head. Aroma has vanilla but also a fruity peach sweetness. Similar taste but with a pleasant dry edge from the wood. Well made and interesting.

Pale blond colour with lasting fluffy white head but an unbelievable amount of chunks bouncing around with the carbonation. A bit grassy and wheaty, very light bodied. Bitter aftertaste.
