voor een baby uit de Filipijnen die direct na de geboorte bij familie van Carine is achter gelaten.
Na haar scheiding heeft ze Hans Wierts getroffen waarmee ze op 04/06/2010 is getrouwd.
Ondertussen bleek dat Tibor, ons adoptiekindje een ernstige erfelijke aandoening had,
waardoor dat de factuur voor zijn verzorging sterk opliep.
Pogingen om hem naar België te halen mislukten,
dus we stonden voor de keuze om onze spaarcenten stilaan naar ginder te sturen
of om ze te investeren in iets waar we geld mee konden verdienen.
Vanwege die situatie ginder hebben Carine en Hans op 07/04/2010 DijkWaert opgericht.
Op 3 oktober 2011 is het dan toch eindelijk gelukt om Tibor in België te krijgen,
na onderzoek bij de KU Leuven bleek dat hij de ergst mogelijke vorm van Hemofilie te hebben.
Waarop we de procedure om hem te adopteren in gang hebben gezet.
Op 28/06/2013 heeft de jeugdrechtbank in Turnhout de adoptie toegekend.
Na een aantal jaren heel hard werken bleek de belasting van drie jobs elk, te groot.
In augustus 2012 hebben we Maarten, de ondertussen op een na jongste zoon van Hans gevraagd
om vrijwillig mee te stappen in ons familie bedrijf.
Ondertussen groeit DijkWaert gestaag en zijn we toe aan een nieuwe grotere locatie met ditto brouw installatie

(Bottle, 0.75 l, at Gastropub Tuulensuu, 20130810) The beer poured golden and cloudy. Its head was medium sized and white. Aroma had spices, herbalness and Belgian style yeast. Palate was medium bodied with medium carbonation. Flavours were fruitiness, spices, malts, yeast and bitterness. Aftertaste was spicy, fruity and bitter. A very spicy brew. That was a bit off-putting but still the beer was somewhat drinkable.

Bottle sample @ ZBF’13 shared with the RB Belgian crew. Dorée claire, col blanc. Arôme est fruité, citronné, houblon frais pointe herbacée. Palais donne dans un style presque infecté - brett, vin blanc, citronné, pointe aigreur suivi d’agrumes et citronné. Sorte de feuilles citronnelle, effervescence moyenne. Retrouve pas franchement le profil d’une blanc ni du froment, le tout étant dominé par ces notes aigres. Pas mauvaise, mais on peut se demander l’idée originale du brasseur.

Small white rim, clear golden beer. Cooked & raw vegetables, wheat, faintly sourish, lactic. Sour, pharmaceutical, infected. Wheat. Light, but not empty MF. Bit wheatslickness. Oh dear. I fear infection.

75 cl. bottle sampled @ ZBF 2013. Bright citrus golden with a white head. Nose is sweet citrus, lemon, brett, sweet fruity & spices, candy sugar, sweet wheat,… Taste is all infected, sour lemon, brett, lactic, sweet fruity with flowers, sweet wheat, yoghurt,… Hazy jam body. Quite infected turning this unintentionally in a not too bad sour.

27/IV/13 - 75cl bottle @ Zythos Bierfestival (2013-409) Thanks to the Belgian ratebeer crew for sharing our beers today!
Clear yellow beer, creamy white head, pretty stable, bit adhesive. Aroma: sweet, candy sugar, bubble gum, citrus, bit fruity. MF: way too much carbon, light to medium body. Taste: very sour lemony start, little bitter, lots of citrus, artificial lemon flavours, soapy. Aftertaste: more soapiness to test your palate, unpleasant, grassy, some alcohol and is that a hint of smoke I taste? Very sour ending. If you ask me, this is infected and not the usual wheat sourness.
