Description
Robbert Orano started White Pony. He is a home brewer with Belgian roots. He has a great preference for craft beer and heavier Belgian beers. The White Pony brewery makes beer in an artisanal way, unpasteurized and unfiltered. And bottles the beer with respect for the old tradition. But all this is done with an innovative view of the brewing process.

330ml can. Pours an opaque dark brown with a small, fizzy, short lived, light brown head that fully dissipates. Sweet fruity aroma of caramel malt, red wine, oak and blackberry. Sweet fruity flavour of toasted caramel malt, molasses, cherry, blackberry, red wine and oak in a dry, tart, boozy finish. Full body with a thick, creamy, smooth, oily texture and soft carbonation. Has some nice complexity, but it's a bit hot. Could use more ageing to mellow it out.

Bottle in 't Brugs Beertje on 11th November 2025. Expected horse blankets and got an interesting farmhouse ale, misty golden orange body, white crust. Not too 'Bretty' and 'Tarty', just a slight sourness and spiciness.

Bottle at home, best before 12-2023. Orange beer, no head. Aroma is yeast, malt, peppery. Taste is the same, rather weak. Probably better fresh but decent enough.
