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.

Drunk on June 19th while cooking homemade gyoza. Golden, clear, small head. Light stone fruit nose, mild lemony acidity. Funky flavor with more present tartness than the nose. Smooth and tasty, lightly bretty, some oaky notes. Excellent, dry and refreshing.

Almost clear, golden, full foamy head. Grass and gooseberry aroma. The taste follows the aroma, added by a distinct bitterness.

Have to admit at last that citric hops and Belgian yeast are better without each other
But it was still a nice and refreshing beer
Wheat, fruity, yeast, banana and citric

Flaska. Härligt torr saison med hög bitterhet och massor av torkade örter. Påminner en hel del om XX-bitter. Det enda som stör något är den där något för söta sockrigheten som återfinns i rätt tråkiga kommersiella belgare. Det här är inte tråkigt, men den bismaken drar ner betyget något.

375mL bottle at Internationella Pressklubben. Pours clear gold with a white head. Tons of musty old upholstery, old wood, leather on the nose. Flavour has dry leather, upholstery, musty old wood; good initial punch of tartness that fades across the palate. Excellent.

375mL bottle at Pressklubben, pours a hazy copper orange with a small white head. Aroma has a nice barnyard funk, musty leather, and some earthy sweat socks. Flavour has a wonderful barnyard funk character, old leather, some sweat socks, and very gentle citric character. Excellent funk character, and wonderfully constructed.

Aroma has a bunch of tart cherries, moderate funk, and gentle acidity. Flavour is bracingly tart, with intensely puckering sour cherries, light-to-moderate funk, and gentle acetone. Rather bracing, but there is nice cherry character. Very good.
