Description
In 2009 starten Thijs Maenhout en Birgit De Rammelaere met een kleine brouwerij in een voormalige bouillonfabriek tussen Tielt en Meulebeke. In 2014 verhuizen zij naar Pittem omdat de capaciteit van de brouwerij niet meer voldoende bleek. Begin 2015 draait de nieuwe brouwerij, met een capaciteit van 1200 hectoliter, op volle toeren.

Bottle sampled @ Brugs Bier Festival 2013. Hazy fox orange with a tanned head, nicely coating the inside of the glass. Nose is perfume, overripe fruits, sugar, herbs, touch cake. Taste is sweet fermenting overripe fruits, herbs, caramel, candy sugar, quite a bit of alcohol, probably more than should be, cake, syrup,… Bit sticky, agreeable to my being.

Sample @ Brugge Bierfest ’13. Orangé tropical, col blanc-beige. Arôme est houblonné renfermé, herbacée, possible touche citronnée avec un résiduel malté-caramel le tout ponctué de qcq notes herbacées et de levure en rétro-nasal. Impression de fruit noirs macérés restant trop en retrait. Palais est caramel, sucré, le tout est assez faible pour une bière vendue en tant que Quad, pour moi, reste faiblarde se rapprochant plus d’une jeune triple voire double avec un résiduel sucré trop présent. Pas mauvaise, mais une finition qui empêche vraiment le profil Quad de prendre toute sa place.

Good mango-yellow head, stable, over copper-amber beer. Grassy-herbal-spicy; EU hops. Bit cakey malts in the background, but very faint; Sweet, bit of liquorice, dry wood hints, but the syrupiness of restsugars + alcohol make it demure. Light hint at sweet cherries or cherry liqueur. Warming up, some citrus/orange flavours. Slick to syrupy, oily, if not cloying. Not one to drink cold. Only warmed up a bit, it becomes a "quadrupel" for real.

Good, off-white head with lace over veiled golden beer. Nice fresh hops’ nose, floral, nectarines. Indifferent hoppy flavour, waffle dough, dry cookies and a spicy finish. Feels overcarbonated, fizzy. Medium bodied at best. Started off well...
