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.

Lichtgeel bier met mooie stevige schuimkraag. Smaak is bitterzoet met iets van zoet fruit en citrus. Al met al een heel degelijk bier.

10 April 2022. At 14de Brugs Bierfestival. Cheers to Anke & Pieter!

Hazy brown, small, foamy, tan head. Aroma of band-aid, rubber, tires, peat, earth, leather, raisin. Taste has sweet raisin & fig in a caramelly malt body surrounded by peaty & herbal notes. Herbal hoppy finish with dried fruits, medicinal aspect, lots of peated whisky alcohol but not obnoxious. Medium body, oily texture, soft carbonation. Pretty good but also pretty straightforward.

Brilliant white rocky head stayed on an unclear pale golden coloured body. Belgian yeast, spices & earthy aroma. Medium bodied, nicely carbonated with a dry back. Bitter, lemon, grainy & spiced tastes with a peppery finish. Very nice.
