Description
Brouwerij Vanuxeem bestaat sinds 1906 en brouwde uiteenlopende bieren. In 1966 werd de productie echter stilgezet en wordt de firma voortgezet als distributiebedrijf. In 1986, het jaar van het bier, startte Vanuxeem terug met het op de markt brengen van bier - zij het niet meer ter plaatse gebrouwen – en werd het eerste Queue de Charrue-bier gelanceerd.

Fun fact: De naam “Queue de Charrue” is een letterlijke Franse vertaling van de naam van de gemeente waar de brouwerij is gevestigd: Ploegsteert (queue = staart en charrue = ploeg).

Pours clear amber , OK white head , but it collapses very fast . Smell is somewhat sweet . Grainy, but not that typical amber-malty . Taste is bitter, slightly sweet , bit malty in the back . Thin mouthfeel , unintense taste ( very unintense ) accept for the bitterness, that is - which is helped by the overcarbonisation . Very uninspired and blank .

Keg at Six Deg Abz. It pours deep brown with a small light yellow-tan head. The nose is earthy, wood, brett, tangy dark fruits and a touch of malt vinegar. The taste is full of tangy dark fruits, malt vinegar, cola, dried fruits, wood, mild acidity and tart green apple with a dry finish. Medium body and fine, prickly carbonation. Tangy. A bit too much malt vinegar. OK sour brown.

At horecabeurs . Pours clear blonde, good white head . Smell is malty , sweet . Taste is heavy malty , bit sweet , ( not too much though ) , very grainy . Nice lager. Rerate. From tap at Ben's bar ( ieper) pretty much agree with the earlier rating. This one Def is even more malty, bready than I remember. Very easy drinkin. Restrained bitterness. A lager to drink in volumes, rather than to sip on. But a damn nice one, actually.
