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.

Dziwne swiateczne piwo, nie pasuje o tej porze roku pic, ale i smak nie pasuje do swiatecznego piwa. Jest chmielny o niskim profilu slodowosci, skorka cytrynki gdzies w tle. Ladnie wyglada po nalaniu lekko mgliste, ze srednia piana bardzo trwala

New Préaris beer - the limited 'boutique' beers apparently received more colourful labels now - intended as a light spring beer. Steinie bottle from Bierhalle Deconinck. Rather thick and frothy, thickly cobweb-lacing, egg-white, irregular but dense and stable head, sustained by fierce visible sparkling in an initially cristal clear, deep and bright 'metallic' amber-tinged orange beer, misty with sediment. Aroma of dried orange peel, toasty bread crust, moist white pepper, kumquat, grass, radish, tonic water, linseed. Crisp, moderately fruity onset, light green banana and apple peel aspects but nothing sweet, lively carbonation with pleasant minerally side notes fit for the style and adding 'body' and liveliness, smooth cereally maltiness, grainy but with a softer bready and even very lightly toasty side to it as well, firmly bittered in the end by floral, leafy and eventually quinine-like, long and resinous hoppiness, providing dryness and spiciness as well as a very light citrus peel aroma. Ends long-lasting bitter with some juicy maltiness peeping through. I'd describe this one as a Belgian session IPA, even if I was expecting something more New World style; low in hop aromatics so some may be disappointed by that, but for me this beer works perfectly as a quencher on a searing hot afternoon, in the final stage of the heaviest heatwave Belgium has known in modern times. Malts feel pure and clean, the hops add enough bitterness to provide a 'full' feeling to the whole and both are well-positioned against each other. May be a bit simple, but for me there is no arguing about the fact that this is a very decent, very well-made spring or summer beer.

Hazy dark orange, large frothy tan head, good retention. Aroma of strong smoke, tea, earth, plum-like fruits. Taste is meaty smoke, caramel, plum. Medium bodied, low carb, some lingering spice. Interesting.
