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 !

Poured from 750mL bottle. Clear deep gold with small white head. Belgian yeast, feint funk, nice citrus. Don't really get any lambic quality on htis, but decent.

750mL bottle, pours a clear copper golden with a small white head. Aroma reveals of plenty of barnyard funk, some dark bready malt, and a hint of citrus. Flavour is both quite malty and funky, with lots of bready malt, toasted caramel, and light-to-moderate funk. Nice funk character, but not at the level of a lambic. More like a malty golden ale with some funk, and this seems better if I think of it that way. Good.

1st May 2024, Toogoloo. 33cl bottle all to myself. Slight haze in the amber body, large white crown. Really enjoyed this, good hop bitterness without going 'over the top', piney and resinous mostly.

Pours orange, something between hazy and murky. Medium sized compact, pilowy white head; shows good enough retention and some lacing. Average intensity in the aroma: a soft dough-like base, followed by vivid notes of pear, plus lighter honey and chamomille. Feels relatively simple but well defined. Taste shows more complexity. Delicate/soft malty base with dough and biscuity malts, quite vivid pear fruitiness, honey, chamomille, a bit of spiciness on the back of things gives it a pleasant spark. Leans certainly towards sweetness in both taste and aftertaste, but still feels nicely balanced; it's pretty clean/defined with a dry enough finish and doesn't have even one bit of that sticky, fake-feeling sirupy sweetness that many similar beers have. A bit of fruitiness in the aftertaste. Medium bodied with medium to high, quite dense feeling carbonation; feels pleasantly soft and slightly creamy. The joys of paasbier. Lovely.
