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.

(Bottle, 0.33 l - BBE Aug 14, at Gastropub Tuulensuu, 20130810) The beer poured golden and lightly hazy. Its head was medium sized and white. Aroma had fruitiness, grass and malts. Palate was medium bodied with medium carbonation. Flavours were fruitiness, grass, honey, malts and bitterness. Aftertaste was fruity and bitter. A bit thin but still decent Belgian ale.

33 cl. bottle @ home. From Willems. Label seems to suggest a very, very small brewery at work here even by Belgian standards. Going by their website, it seems like this is actually the work of a brewpub (a big rarity in Belgium, I know only of 3 exiting brewpubs in Belgium at this moment including this one). Pours a murky peach orange with a small white head. Smells of soured dough, overripe banana, BE yeast, sweet and exotic fruits, clear signs of hop. Taste is sour green banana, lots of it, sour dough yeast, BE yeast, old orange peel, fermenting soft peaches, bitter grass in the back, multi-fruit juice and some of candy sugar, some bitter yeast in the back. Sparkling, odd fizzy carb, yeasty. Shows potential but it does seem like this has some issues.

75cl Bottle at RBESG ’13 Grand Tasting. A golden ale from Belgium... Right.. This is exactly why there should be a distinction here on RB between (Strong) Belgian Blond Ales and Dark Ales imho. Hazy golden orange colour, white head. Aroma of dry malts, yeast, a bit soapy, in the lines of XX Bitter, but way less good. Flavour is fruity, dry, yeasty, a bit cloying, not exactly what is expected from the aroma. Not great.
