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 !

750ml caged and corked bottle. Cork reads 07 04 15.

Pours a clear pale gold, bringing heaps of foam, lots of sticky lacing.

Big tart notes in the smell, light Brett, acetic, yet something in there presents a sweet note or two.

Tart more than sour, light Brett, acetic presence minor, some sweetness. Lovely.

Mouthfeel is fine, finish is on the dry side.

I'm glad that I picked up this bottle. It's very pleasing.

Second pour and the foam got all wild and tried to overflow. Lots more bubble action as well. No deductions of points for that.

Bottle from Tanakaya. Lovely stuff! High carbonation makes it very refreshing and easy to drink. Aroma is pleasantly tart and fruity. Lemon, bit of dust and funk too. Taste is great, nice tartness, bretty, with light citrus, touch of creaminess and some honey. But definitely not sweet. Not so sour but has a little prickle. These kind of blends are always right up my street!

On tap at Moeder Lambic Fontainas. Light brown/rich red held up to the light with a small beige head. Aroma is sweet chocolate malty. Taste is medium sweet malty chocolately dubbel. Very soft in the mouth and just a touch of bitterness.

Difficile de se passionner pour cette Bink Blond, qui sans être désagréable est un peu pompeuse et terriblement commune. En verre, nous sommes sur un blond doré limpide plutôt sympathique. Une mousse blanche de 1,5 cm surmonte la bière. Le nez est simple sur le miel, les céréales et de la pomme. Dès l'attaque, de la coriandre agrémente l'ensemble. C'est simple, pas de variation, mais corpulence et longueur sont très honnêtes. Petite mention à l'alcool, qui avec ses 5,5 % s'en tire très bien. La texture est également appréciable. Un peu douce tout de même. Pas fracassant.
