Description
For years we brewed beers in our basement when we read an article in October 2010 about the Brouwland beer competition.We decided to risk our chances and sent our version of a Trappist beer, a dark beer, full malt, of 10%.In March 2011 we were informed that we were selected for the final. Beginning in April 2011 was ultimately the final.The seven finalist beers were tasted by beer connoisseurs, Zythologists Rijckers Anne and Yannick De Cocteau and some Belgian brew masters like Paul Arnott (Dubuisson), and Jean-Marie De Rock (Orval). The first beers were tasted and judged one for one, much was noted. Mutually there was not much talk together ,until they started our beer (the final seven beers were tasted in order of alcohol). All jurors began to talk to each other and two of them even gave us a thumbs up. Then, we knew it was good. After fifteen minutes of deliberations they announced the winner … Vliegend Paard Brouwers from Oedelem with their Préaris Quadrupel.

Tap @ Eindhoven, small sample. Hazy brown color, short head. Aroma of caramel malt, bit chocolat, slight spicy yeast. Bit sweet taste, hint of bitter. I also tried the coffee infused version, which they made with a Randall the Enamel Animal, which was absolutely lovely of fresh ground earthy and spicy coffee. A great addition to a bit boring base beer to be honest. Rating is for the base beer, with coffee is way better. --- Beer merged from original tick of Pr??aris Quadrupel on 30 Oct 2017 at 09:07 - Score: 7. Original review text: LCI

Draught @ Eindhovens Bierfestival. Clear orange color, medium to full sized creamy off - white head. Smell malts and European hops. Taste malts, European hops, medium bitter. Dry finish, medium body, medium carbonation. I’d say this is a bitter blond instead of an IPA. Then again, they say it’s a Belgian IPA and I guess that’s correct.

Bottle from ABS. Amber-orange with a medium, fine head. Mineral, grass, grapefruit zest nose, some sweet orange and peach, light to medium malt background. Flavor is maltier, bready, light chocolate, with orange and lemon, caramel, hay, then pretty strong bitterness in the finish. Full, smooth body. Very bitter, actually. Decent; very drinkable. Nice apricot flavors as it opened up.

Enjoyed at the 4de Gents Bierfestival, 2013. The squat 33cl bottle pours with a crystal clear copper body that supports a full light tan head of semi dense foam. The aroma offers up malt sweetness mixing with pears, cantaloupe and citrus flavored cotton candy. The taste delivers some of the same notes like pears and cantaloupe to go along with apricot, tangerine and grapefruit hop bitterness. Behind those notes are thin ribbons of malty sweetness and ending with slivers of roasted malts tossed in there as well. Pretty nice.

Bottle from bu11zeye. Pours translucent gold with a foamy white head. Aroma is earthy with some citrus. Med body, or nearly. Flavor is earthy, lemony, herby and just a tad bready. It finishes dry, earthy, and decently bitter. Very nice drink.

33cl Bottle: BBD 29 May 2014. Poured into my huge ’Judas’ glass on 5 Aug 2013 during a Belgian Tasting Evening with myself! Looked fine in the glass: bright golden body with a large head (you can really pour fast into a Judas glass) of snow white bubbles. Light nose of yeasts, hop notes and freshly cut grass. The taste was also light, delicate might be a better word. Hints of flavours rather than ’in your face’ powerful features. Slight citrus feel to the piece, with a mini grain undertone. I found it pleasant enough but it was completely overshadowed by the other Belgian brews I had around it. In short: a refreshing but weak Belgian offering, start with this, don’t have it mid-session.
