Description
Eylenbosch comes back to life in 2019, after almost 30 years of hibernation. Founded in 1886 by Emile Eylenbosch in Schepdaal, the Eylenbosch brewery grew into one of the most important producers of lambic and geuze in the last century, with an absolute high point at the 1958 world expo. Advantage of the industrial lager, and also Eylenbosch closed its doors and stopped production in the early 90s.
But luckily that wasn't the end of the story for this historic brewery. In 2018, Erik De Keersmaeker decided to focus on his passion after a number of other challenges. As the fifth generation of a brewery family from Kobbegem, De Keersmaeker brings the Eylenbosch brewery and its iconic beer back to life. He does this together with the young brewer Klaas Vanderpoorten and study friend Jeroen Lettens. The new Eylenbosch Brewery is dedicated to tradition and authenticity, and will brew its lambic using the traditional method and recipes.

11 August 2024. Bottle from Sandersput Ninove. Bottled: 9/02/2021.
Clear orange, thin, white head. Aroma of orange flesh, overripe apricot & plum, wet straw, wood, leather, grass, cheese rind, jute bag, green apple. Taste has sour orange, apricot & gooseberry against a sourdough malt backbone; funky leather & straw notes connecting well with a lemon acidity. Tart citrus, dry oak tannins, funky hay and grassy hops in the finish. Medium body, slick texture, soft carbonation. Quite lean, smooth, somewhat 'unfinished' indeed but perfectly accessible and acceptable at that.

Clear golden colour with thin head. Really nice aroma with lots of funk and wood but also fresh grain. Has a slight vinous note of white wine. Sharp and dry in equal measure. Excellent.

75cl Bottle @ Back in Odense M, Ratebeer Odense Tasting. Pours Dark unclear red with bubbles on top. No pop. Flat. Marzipan. Oxidized. This could potentially be one of the older eylenboschs from the 80’s. Shame.
