Description
Hugel is the brewing company name of Koen Hugelier. After training in pharmaceutical and biological techniques and medical laboratory technology, Koen Hugelier worked for almost ten years at Ghent University on various scientific studies. In 2009 he became a certified zythologist and in this way got hold of the brewing bug. Because Hugelier could use a lot of knowledge from his training, it was quite easy to delve into the secrets of brewing. After some hobby brewing, Koen Hugelier was ready in 2010 to brew one of his beers in a 'big' brewery.

Brouwfirma Hugel brouwt biologische, artisanale bieren in brouwerij 'The Brew Society' in Heule. Zeven bijzondere bieren zullen in de loop van 10 jaar ontwikkeld worden. Momenteel zijn Luxuria, Gula en Invidia reeds gebrouwen. Met Invidia won Brouwerij Hugel in november 2015 een gouden medaille op de Brussels Beer Challenge. In 2017 pakte Invidia brons op de Brussels Beer Challenge en de World Beer Idol. Invidia haalde eveneens goud op de Concours de Lyon en de Internationale Beer Awards in Londen in 2017!

Nose is thick sweet liquorish, berries, herbs & very sweet malts. Taste is very sweet liquorish, herbs, maple syrup, sap, berries. Body is a touch fizzy. Nice stuff.

Poured a chestnut brown with a thin tan head and lots of carbonation. The aroma is rich yeast and fruit leading to a zesty, lively fruity resin flavour that dances around on your tongue. A super beer and e name says it all. I’m surprised this beer was not more popular.

Bottled @ RBESG 2013 Grand Tasting. Spicy, cardemom? Bit caramel, very spicy and dry. I’m not a spiced up belgian style lover (more of a hater), but this one was ok actually.

Bottle @ RBESG grand tasting. Unclear reddish color, small beige head. Smell a lot of herbs or spices. Tastes about the same, lightly malty, quite a lot of herbs and spices again and sweetness. Not my beer.

Thanks to Man-ki for sharing. 2012 Vintage. 33 cl. bottle sampled. Pours a very dark brown, blackish, very uneven and patchy mocha head. Smell is very interesting & very heavy, crazy amounts of very sweet spices, liquorish, dried grape vines, herbs, jagermeister. Intensely sweet dark liquorish taste, very sweet dark malts, jagermeister, dried grape vines, strongly herbal, the type of chocolates that have strong liquor in them, red grapes, overripe red grapes,… Going towards creamy, less carb. Very unique, almost too much but I appreciate it. Love or hate brew. BBF 12/2015.

33cl bottle split with 77ships and Man Ki. BB 12/2015. Brune foncée, col léger beige. Arôme est malté, grillé assez fleuri avec ce bouquet rappelant les herbes de montagne. Palais est ici aussi assez agréable, alternant note sucrée-caramélisée, malt grillé, herbacé médicinal pouvant porter sur une liqueur aux herbes de montagne. Pointe de réglisse pour un final ne laissant pas croire que la bière titre 11%.
