In onze brouwerij gaat het in de eerste plaats om kwaliteit. Het is dan ook de bedoeling om hoogwaardige bieren aan te bieden die gebrouwen zijn in onze eigen brouwerij op basis van eigen recepten.
Dit kan enkel door gebruik te maken van de beste ingrediënten, kleinschalig te werken en vooral door onze jarenlange ervaring te combineren met heel veel enthousiasme.
Onze hop wordt geselecteerd samen met de hoppeboer op onze Belgische velden.

Bottled 330ml. -at Magic Beer Room Zagreb. Gusher. Cloudy orange/golden coloured, medium sized white head, lemony spicy nose. Pretty strong carbonation. Slight fruity, soft spicy, lemony and yeasty with short finish. Thin overall.

Gushing inexorably (even from a half-emptied bottle!) to a towering, whipped eggwhite-like dirty white head over hazy orange beer with a dull pinkish sheen; UFO’s. Hops, but also honey, and garden weeds, herbs, lunaria, citrus, blossoms, hint at coriander. Dull grainy, strawlike flavour. And the hops, as promised?? Just a shade of bitterness, malty sweetness underneath, and now indeed a banana flavour, if faint. Grist/yeasty slickness, bit sticky, empty. Aftertaste has a mild spicy bitter. Very unconvincing.

330ml Bottle - Golden with a slight haze and a foamy head. Straw, lemon, yoghurt and yeast in the aroma. Lemon, tea, peach and some earthy and spicy notes can be detected in the taste.

Shared with Marko F. at the Magic Beer Room. Ugly murky ochre body with a white head. Sweetish aroma, apple compote, spicy, ending dusty. Soft, flat taste, no aftertaste, empty. light maltiness, light carrot, light feet. Not good I’m afraid, and the misleading name doesn’t help it one bit.

The newest Fort Lapin, still very limitedly produced. Hazy yellow ’witbier’ colour with greenish hue under a loose, off-white head; crisp flavour, apple-like fruitiness, white bread malt sweetishness, light spicy notes, grassy hop bitterishness in the finish, somewhat spicy, quite long. Not as hoppy as I had hoped, but decent.

The amber beer in this series, with very thick, frothy, stable, pale yellowish beige, cobweb-lacing head and hazy, vaguely brownish-tinged pure amber colour (rather than the deep copper or ruby red I was expecting based on the name). Aroma initially disperses a strong ‘iron shavings’ odour, probably coming from head stabilizing agents, but after this retreats a bit, impressions of bread crust, beetroot juice, red apple, raw red cabbage, dried flowers, soap, sweet potato mash, strawberry, banana, orange peel and cloves show up. Fruity onset, banana, apple and strawberry notes, sweet with a hint of red candy even but nothing cloying, sourish undercurrent, fizzy carb, lean and bit soapy mouthfeel. Caramel candy- and light peanut-like malt body, rounded and cereally, simple with ongoing sweetness which becomes a bit artificial and plastic-like in the end but again, refrains from turning unpleasantly cloying; light spicy phenols and earthy and floral hop bitterish notes are added in the finish but the caramelly maltiness lingers way beyond that. Quite straightforward Belgian amber ale, simple, old-fashioned and accessible. Nothing really wrong here apart from that strong iron odour in the beginning. Note: also had this as Fort Lapin 6 Hibiscus, its forerunner which got its colour from hibiscus flowers and suffered from quite strong DMS so at least in that sense, this is an improvement of the old recipe to me.
