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.

Vintage 2015. Pours hazy dark brown with a small, off-white head. The aroma contains red fruits, cognac, liquor, wine, wood, some chocolate and caramel. It tastes medium fruity sweet and light bitter; a tad hoppy, some warming alcohol. Medium body, oily texture, soft carbonation. So alluring!

Pours hazy yellow with a diminishing, frothy, white head. The aroma contains passionfruit, exotic fruits, (fruity) hops, some wheat. It tastes light fruity sweet and light to medium hoppy bitter, with a long, bit dry, yet sweetish finish. Medium body, oily texture, fizzy carbonation. Recommended!

Pours hazy yellow with a frothy, white head. The aroma contains (slightly roasted) coffee, roasted malt, herbs & hops. It tastes light to medium roasted bitter; a very light sweet touch. Short finish with a drying effect. Very short but intense taste. Light body, watery texture, fizzy carbonation. So it's a blond beer with a coffee taste, but hardly more...

Pours clear dark golden with a diminishing, frothy, off-white head. The aroma contains malt, (flowery) hops, herbs & spices, some caramel. It tastes light malty sweet and medium to light spicy bitter with a medium long herbal finish, bit dry. Medium body, slick/watery texture, soft carbonation. Not really what I expected from a Christmas beer, but the pun on the label made up for that.

Pours hazy pale golden with a small, frothy, white head. The aroma contains (tropic) fruits, flowers, herbs, honey and (fruity) hops. It tastes light sweet and medium to light bitter with a herbal finish. Medium/light body, watery texture, fizzy carbonation. Very refreshing.

Pours hazy golden with a small, frothy, off-white head. The aroma contains (fruity) hops (unmistakeable Citra), tropic fruits, some iron, citrus and yeast. It tastes light to medium hoppy bitter and very light fruity sour; dry finish. Medium body, slick/oily texture, fizzy carbonation. Although it does have a rough edge, this would be a great introduction for anyone new to IPAs.

Pours hazy red with a lasting, foamy, pink head. The aroma contains beetroot, red fruits, some caramel, wheat, yeast, hops and earth. It tastes light sour and light to medium bitter, with a dry, wheaty and earthy finish. Medium body, slightly watery texture, soft carbonation. Though I wouldn't drink too much of it, it's definitely well-made.

Pours cloudy orange with a thin, disappearing, white head. The aroma contains carrot, citrus, some honey, lemon, fruits & vegetables (pumpkin?). It tastes medium sour, like fruit & vegetable juice, only very light sweet and bitter with hints of carrot in the finish. Light/medium body, slick texture, lively carbonation. Something completely different and succesful at that; can't say the aroma was very enticing but it gets an extra point for originality.
