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.

Flaska från SB. Disig gyllengul vätska med medelhögt vitt fluffigt skum. Örtig och gräsig doft och smak. Krispig och fräsch. Koriander, klorofyll, färska örter, jordig saisonjästighet, lätt marsipansötma. Gott

8 December 2024. Bottle from Stacks. Bottled: 29/11/2021.

Clear to hazy deep red, thin, pink head. Intense aroma of lots of cherries, cherry pits, cherry juice, blackcurrant, wild red apple, almond, unripe raspberry, overripe nectarine, wet wood, cherry tomato. Taste has very sour cherry, cherry juice, nectarine stone and unripe apple in a sourdough-like malt body; slightly bitter cherry skin and herbal, tea-like notes blending well with the lactic acid. Astringent finish of stone fruit pit and cherries, woody tannins from the cherry pits, some savoury tomato & minerals, all in all very drying. Medium body, moussy texture, fizzy carbonation. More of an intense Kriek than a complex Lambic; just super enjoyable.

Flaska från SB. En trevlig citrusdriven lambic med beska grapeskal, à la de Troch. Känns grön och ung, inte jättekomplex eller superfunlig men trevlig med snäll syra. Gott

Small, if persistent just off-white head over lively carbonated copper beer. Putteke , sulphur, white grapes, lactic acid, farmyard and some horseblanket waft. Very sour, sour (white) grapes, wheat, lactic acid, farmyard, lemony. Acidburn and -thinning. Lipsmacking acidity. Very well-carbonated, slight (wheat)slickness. Decent gueuze, its acidity and character bringing back reminiscences of former decennia with less choice in lambic. Txs to Stef!

Bottle shared with RJ. Erősen brettes, visszafogottan savas és kifejezetten keserű (habár túlságosan nem komló-aromás), ami a brettel együtt túl sok már, felborul a balansz teljesen
