Description
The Brewery was established by the De Coster-Depré family in 1897 and it was active till the eighties of the 20th century. Freddy Delvaux and the family gave a new lease of life to the old buildings of the Brewery in 2012. The new Brewery is the place where the Delvaux family can truly demonstrate their passion for special beers. Here, beers are cared for, invented, produced, consumed and promoted, and the Brewery is an unusual combination of science, the art of brewing, tourism and gastronomy.

Golden colour. Aroma and flavour are quite sweet. Tastes a bit like syrup from canned peaches.

Rusty dark orange colour. There are some hints of caramel in the aroma but it’s dominated by funky Brett. Flavour has it too along with lots of sweet fruity esters

Hazy deep amber colour, good two finger frothy beige head, half-way lasting, light lacing. Fruity aroma, sour apple, vinegar, brett, grass. Taste combination of sweet, sour and bitter, malty, citrusy, dusty, herbal notes, average to long duration, dry bitter finish, bit chalky. Medium body, watery to oily texture, smooth mouthfeel, average carbonation. Peculiar and interesting, when looking at the other tasting notes it seems that my version was slightly infested but I enjoyed it anyway.
