Description
Amburon Belgian Craftbrewery NV was founded in early 2016 by Davy Daniëls in partnership with Carlo De Baere and Jan Jacobs. The brewhall was opened in August 2016. Amburon Belgian Craftbrewery aims for distinction through innovation that is rooted in the Belgian beer tradition. In keeping with this tradition we aim for balanced and accessible beers with a pure taste – sometimes with something a little different.

Unfortunately the brewery went bankrupt in january 2019.

Thank you for sharing RB Crew! Sampled 330 ml. bottle @ GBF 2017. Dark red blueberry juice appearance with little pink head. Nose is metallic, dull muted fruit, little sweetness & not that fruity either. Taste is overtly metallic with dull low grenadine fruit profile, mildly sweet & metallic but not overly fruity. Dull metallic body, empty. Meh.

19/VIII/17 - 33cl bottle @ Gents Bierfestival - BB: n/a (2017-1268) Thanks to the Belgian ratebeer crew for sharing today's beers and celebrating my 10K!

Cloudy bright deep pink to purple beer, creamy light pink head, pretty stable, adhesive, leaving a nice lacing in the glass. Aroma: very malty, grains, bit metallic, cow fodder. Where's the fruit? Smells more like a German pilsener. Taste: malts, grains, bit sweet, some cow fodder, hay. Tastes like a German pilsener as well. Aftertaste: fruity touch (finally!) with a sweet finish, slightly acidic and a little bitter from the tannins (probably the blue berry skins?). For a blue berry beer this is disappointing... I'm not saying I want a syrupy sweet fruit beer, but you want at least the smell and flavour of the blue berries obviously coming through. That's lacking here.

New beer from De Bieradviseur, executed at the new Amburon brewery in Limburg. At tderoeck’s Belgian ticks tasting. Coarse, cobweb-lacing, egg-white, bubbly head, hazy peach blonde colour. Aroma of dried orange peel, baker’s yeast, some burnt rubber, orange juice accent, banana, cooked carrots, peach, pear and a hint of DMS. Fruity onset, sweet Belgian banana ester, peach and apple accents with a sourish edge, fizzy carbo, bready malt sweet basis with minerally and phenolic touches here and there, drying hop bitter finish, floral with a dash of citrus peel but not the lush ’citrussiness’ one expects from a beer dry-hopped with Amarillo; esters and phenols also interfere so this remains in all its aspects a ’Belgian IPA’: Belgian blonde or tripel being made hop-forward under influence of the global IPA craze. Could vastly improve with more Amarillo and a cleaner yeast profile, but enjoyable enough as it is.

21/VII/17 - 33cl bottle from Willems (Grobbendonk), shared @ Belgian Ticks Tasting (home) - BB: 18/III/19 (2017-1077)

Clear orange beer, small creamy off-white head, unstable, non adhesive. Aroma: soapy, bit fruity, sweet, yeast. MF: lively carbon, medium body. Taste: sweet, little fruity, some citrus, bitter touch, very sugary, metallic bitterness. Aftertaste: little bitter, soapy, metallic, ripe banana, sugary, sweet, marzipan. By no means does this classify as an IPA. Where are all the hop aromas? Especially while drinking all these Belgian styles, an IPA should really jump out, but this one... doesn't. Too bad, disappointment in a bottle. :-(

Thank you tderoeck! 330 ml. bottle sampled @ “Belgian Ticks Tasting Ghent”. Clear golden, creamy small white collapsing bubbles. Nose is sweet oily, overly sweet malty, stone fruit, weak, oily, flat,.. Far too high carbonation,… Basic yeasty, sweet dough, stone fruit, very low hop, chemical, sweet, sugar, yeast, stone fruit, oily,… Not a good IPA but not the worst, drinkable, sweet oily stone floor & low raw dough,… These BE attempts at USA hoppy beers remain depressing.

Pours rather unclear blonde, small white head. Smell is not fresh at all. To much malty notes, yeasty, not very natural. No hops at all. Taste is full, mild bitterness. Hidden hoparoma. Very yeasty. Some malts as well. Not nearly enough hops to be called IPA. Can’t we just make an agreement about not calling stuff like this an IPA , Belgian brewers ? That’d be great...
