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. It pours a hazy, golden body under a finger-thick off-white head leaving lacings. Cellar, pale malts and some fruityness in the aroma. The flavor has pale malts, some fruityness and a decent bitterness. Short finish. Medium body, quite dry, and pleasantly carbonated. A quite boring one. Sure drinkable and all that, but it lacks quite a bit to fulfil my dreams for a witbier. (090501)

(33cl bottle, 5.5% abv) Hazy, golden colour with a big and dense, slowly lacing blond foamy head. Yeasty and moderately sweet malty aroma with notes of citrus and flowery, slightly herbal hops. Moderately bitter flavour with a mild malty sweetness, medium bodied with a rather smooth carbonation. Pale malt-character, slightly bready taste with citrus-/lemon-fruity notes; slightly sweet and malty finish with a distinctive herbal hoppy bite and an increasing level of bitterness. Not particularly rounded but likeable brew (02.V.09).

Bottled. A hazy golden beer with a lazing beige head. The aroma is sweet malty with some spice notes and fruit. The flavor is quite sweet with notes of fruit - especially peaches, as well as notes of milk, and alcohol, leading to a dry and lightly spicy finish. The mouthfeel is very smooth.

Bottle, 6.8% at De Heeren van Liedekercke. Mildly spicy hop aroma, slightly sweet. Clear dark golden colour. Big stable creamy head. The flavour is sweet and spicy, soapy and perfumy. The bitterness is a bit rough, but that is OK in order to clean out some of the soap. This is a rather unrefined beer, but nevertheless, it is drinkable. After getting to the bottom of the bottle, I must adjust my notes a little. The addition of the sediment has added a more complex and spicy yeast note to the aroma as well as the flavour. The mouthfeel also seems a bit more full and creamy.
