Description
Wat is gestart als een gezamenlijke hobby van Dimitri Verbraekel en Marc Verberckmoes, 2 collega's-vrienden, werd in 2011 Brouwerij 't Kroontje en groeide uit tot een stilaan vaste waarde in het brouwersmilieu en zeker ook in onze gemeente. Na het plotse overlijden van Marc in 2018, ging Dimitri alleen verder met het ontwikkelen en produceren van de Rebellebieren, geheel volgens de stijl waarin de brouwerij oorspronkelijk werd opgestart.

Wij staan voor het artisanaal produceren van bieren van hoge gisting, volledig met natuurlijke producten. Geen toevoegingen van chemische middelen voor ons, enkel puur natuur! Een goed voorbeeld hiervan is ons frambozenbier: geen toegevoegde suikers of smaakversterkers, maar échte verse frambozen werden gebruikt om dit bier te maken. Ook bij het vervaardigen van onze nevenproducten (kaas, pastei en pralines) door anderen, hebben wij er een zwak voor om dit te laten doen door artisanale familiebedrijven die eerder kwaliteit dan kwantiteit leveren.

Courtesy of tderoeck. A commissioned beer apparently made to celebrate the 5 years existence of a Zythos beer club in Waasmunster. Shows a creamy and crackling but (at least initially) not very stable, lacing, off-white head breaking open after a while; colour a peachy blonde, completely cloudy (soup!), which often is a bad sign in Belgian top-fermented beers. But there’s worse: adding the deposit leads to a murky, mud-like, unpleasantly ochre coloured beer. This ominous appearance is confirmed by the aroma: this is very clearly infected, bacteria abounding, with hints of sour yoghurt, rotting egg (the dreaded H2S), Granny Smith apples and raw rhubarb (probably just my good friend acetaldehyde), sweat, rotting pear and peach, honey, pineapple slices in syrup, cider, milk gone sour and black, (almost) rotting banana... Taste begins very sweet, worty with lots of residual sugars and estery fruitiness (peach, orange, pineapple) paired with an immediate, yet relatively ’gentle’ bacterial tartness, lactic acid all over the place, medium to sharp carbonation; thinnish but smooth mouthfeel, middle phase reveals pale malt sweetness, a bit honeyish, as well as a heavy, bready yeastiness working its way up retronasally. Finish is probably a lot more dry than intended due to the acidity of the infection, some herbal hops trying to save the day but reduced to backing vocals, explicitly phenolic, and heavy yeastiness lingering as well as some wodka-like alcohol and unfermented sugars having no business anymore at this point - just being obnoxious. This thing keeps building flaw upon flaw - I fail to understand why an official Zythos beer club accepts an infected beer to celebrate its 5 years of existence. Maybe I simply had the bad luck to encounter an infected bottle? In any case, I sincerely hope all other bottles are better, because this has the look, feel and taste of a completely failed hobby brew. Never had much trust in this new Kroontje brewery... Shame, especially since the name means ’little beer lover’!
