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.

Bouteille 37.5cl de et partagée avec Tderoeck, merci. Anno 2021, batch# OL21004, bottled 23/02/2021, BB 23/02/2026.
Pâle sur un col léger crémeux.
Arôme sur un bouquet plaisant de lambic, vieux cellier, funk, petite note rappelant les noyaux d'abricot et de pêche.
Palais est sec, funk, petite douceur un peu résiduelle - rappelant la cane à sucre, fruité vert - pomme, noix et un retrait un peu abricot, poussiéreux. Acidité correcte mais qui revient en puissance en fin de bouche.

Bottle. 2022 edition according to the label. (Don't know if there are more editions or not) Color: Clear golden, white head. Aroma: Malty, subtle tartness, subtle funky. Taste: Funky, moderate to over moderate tartness, fruity gooseberry notes, malty moderate sweetness. Oak wood notes, some tannins. Hint of hay and spices. Medium body, just below average carbonation. Although only 1/3 Lambic is used, the tflavors of Lambic are fully present. Special Blond part makes it somewhat sweeter. Nice blend.

Bottle at home. Deep ruby with short lasting fizzy pink head. Tons of cherries up front with light spice and almonds, but not a massive cinnamon bomb like some Schaarbeekse cherry beers. Lactic and even a bit citrus sour, oak, light herbal and leafy and a bit of red currants. Quite sour, lighter sweet. Medium bodied. A bit sharp and not super complex but overall pretty decent.

2022 Very good, dense, yellowish head over well-carbonated deep golden beer. Putteke ! Mud, silt, sulphur, putty, bit leafy. Sweet, sugared lemons, (the acids are there, in the back, smothered). Bit woody, again some sulphur. Quite slick - young lambic - good carbonation. Better bodied than most lambics. Lots of sweet to mask the lambic acidity - alternative for a stoemper ? There's better mixed top/spontaneous than this one, not to mention full lambic. Txs to Stef!

Very very dry, exacerbated by the hops. It is okay. But a little sharp for my taste. Blauwe kater Leuven
