Description
Op 1 februari 2007 openden Bart Devillé en Ann Heremans café ‘Den Herberg’. Aanvankelijk was het echter niet de bedoeling een café uit te baten. Dit idee is langzaamaan ontstaan. We kochten het gebouw in 2000 aan om er een brouwerij in op te starten. Stilaan groeide het idee om er onze ambachtelijk gebrouwen bieren ook zelf te verkopen. Ruimte was er voldoende en mits enige grondige aanpassingswerken was het café nog voor de brouwerij af. Één jaar na de opening van het café was ook de brouwerij klaar voor productie.

0.375 l bottle from 'Etre Gourmet', best before January 2042, so apparently bottled in January 2022, almost two years old. Hazy, orangeish amber with a medium large, fluffy, quickly diminishing, white head. Slightly sweetish, sourish, quite funky, rather fruity aroma of lemon, gooseberry, some vinegar, oak and some horse blanket. Minimally sweet, quite sour, rather fruity, gently funky taste of lemon, gooseberry, oak, some horse blanket and light vinegar, followed by a long, fairly tart, rather woody-dry finish. Medium body, quite astringent and fairly effervescent mouthfeel, lively carbonation. Refreshing Geuze, quite clean, not too acidic yet, relatively complex.

Leaps and bounds better than the original. So much oak, nice Brett funkiness. Paired this with finally watching The Human Centipede...bit of a mismatch in taste but I suppose Dr Hieter is a deville, and the victims were indeed a blend 😆
