Description
VZW Brouwerij De Lelie heeft zich als vereniging tot doel gesteld de oude bieren van de gelijknamige brouwerij in het centrum van Vosselaar terug onder de aandacht te brengen. In september 2008 werd PAUS voor het eerst sinds begin jaren 1950 opnieuw geschonken. De donkere PATER volgde reeds een half jaar later.

Brouwerij “De Lelie” werd in 1907 opgericht door Florimond De Jongh. In 1922 werd de brouwerij overgenomen door Jan Dresselaers. Tot 1952 volgde zoon René zijn vader op. Er werden kwaliteitsbieren van hoge gisting gebrouwen waarvan Paus en Pater de bekendste waren. Na de Tweede Wereldoorlog was de tijd van het ambachtelijk brouwen voorbij en werd in 1952 de productie stopgezet.

Bottled. A very hazy chestnut-brown beer with a thin off-white head. The aroma has notes of nuts, caramel, malt, and some fruit. The flavor is sweet with notes of caramel, candy sugar, malt, yeast, and a bit of fruit, leading to a dry lightly phenolic finish.

Bottle, 8.5%. Strong aroma, distinctly spicy, some fruit, a little alcohol. Hazy yellow colour. Small stable white head. The flavour is very spicy, slightly sweet, good coriander note. Not so well-balanced, but flavourful. Distinct bitterness in the aftertaste, quite clean and pleasant. Also a sour hint in the finish, not a problem, but might be after a while.

Bottle 33 cl. Courtesy of MiP. Pours a cloudy golden with huge impurities and a dense white head. Very perfumy aroma - coriander I reckon. Medium body, very fruity and perfumy with lots of yeast and phenols. Somewhat astringent finish - not hoppy though. 190210

Deep, dark, ckoudy yellow-gold with lots of flaoties and a tall, merengue head. Aroma of honey, grapefruit, green apples, barnyard. Very fruity, with sweet and tart tones. Sweet start, with honey and cookie malt, grassty, earthy hops, then a nice sour fruit flavor, finishing with a strong hop bitterness. Lemon, grapefruit, zest. Wow. Very bitter indeed. Interesting. Intensely bitter after taste. Rich, full body without being heavy. A super hoppy tripel, though it isn’t called one. Cleaner without the sediment. Good stuff!

Good, fine tan head over reddish cola-coloured beer. End of bottle full of UFO’s. Dark malts & molasses’ nose. Faintly leafy, but predominantly quite sweet malts. Sweetness, very liquorice-like, is counterbalanced by a fresh acidity, that is partly CO², but partly different. Might seem like a very benign infection, but my money is on added lactic acid. Palate is rather empty, despite a sticky feeling that keeps lingering around in the back of the throat. Acceptable, but too bland and too sweet from a microbrew. There’s no point in concurrencing the big ’uns.

Bottle Slightly hazy, orange body. Off-white, rocky to creamy head. Nice looks. Aroma of orange, hops, citrus, banana (isoamylacetate), ... mild, but bit compelx. Moderately (powdery/dusty/hoppy) bitter, moderately sweet flavour. Some cardboard. Bit unpleasant, but ok.

Huge, dense, off-white head over golden beer. Vanilla, sweet with white candi sugar, bit lactic malts – and quite some caramelly alcohol. Faint aroma of (unripe) exotic fruit. Alcohol & caramel dominating the taste. Quite some restsugars for a triple-like beer. Harsh sugars; warming up, spices as coriander. Bit fizzy, very slick, medium bodied, alcoholwarming. Too slanted towards alcohol & caramel. I wonder what might better it – lower fermentation temperatures?
