Description
The brewery farmhouse in Kerkom (anno 1878) is so much more than just a brewery or a farm. It has become the road house of dreams from walkers, cyclists, beer tasters and pleasure lovers, where everyone has a good time. The Kerkom Brewery is 100% traditional and proud to be so. This is namely a place where real beer is still brewed. From the hops to the Bink beer, every step of the process is done manually. A beer with a story and hence a real experience !

Aromas are Belgian yeast, malt and spice. Flavors are similar to nose with good balance between bitter, sweet and tang. Slightly soft carbonation and okay body. Nice beer. Some sips in and it gets much more yeasty. And not all that great.

Bottle from Systembolaget Sweden.
Big, off white head.
Opaque golden color.
Herbal hop aroma.
Huge and a harsh dominating bitterness that isn't matched with the slim body.

33 cl bottle picked up at Systembolaget Vimmerby poured in to a tulip glass. Hazy golden colour with a big, white head. Fruity aroma with yeasts, grassy hoppy notes. Spicy, with some orange peel. The taste is bitter. Full body - rather filling. Dry and bitter finish. Definitely bitter, has a hint of candid sugar? Nice.

Bottle at tasting.
Poured almost clear and golden in color.
Belgian hops and yeast adds spiciness, plesant dryness and bitterness. Maybe bit one dimensional.
