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.

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.

Tap @ Tilburg. Hazy blonde color, short head. Aroma of soft spicy yeast. Doesnt feel like saison yeast actually. Flowery hops, bit spicy. Soft bitter taste, bit sweet. Not too exciting to be honest. --- Beer merged from original tick of Préaris Blond on 14 Apr 2018 at 00:43 - Score: 7

33cl Bottle from De Hopduvel, Gent. Dark brown colour, beige head. Aroma of sweet dark malts, dark fruits, yeast, a bit of cellar, almost vinous. Resembles St. Bernardus a bit imho. Flavour is medium-sweet, quite malty, chocolate, dark fruits, raisin and grape, toast, firm hoppy and light roasted bitter finish, bordering on herbal. Medium to full-bodied, soft mouthfeel. Tasty.
