Description
De bieren worden gebrouwen in een moderne 25 Hl installatie in Erpe-Mere. Gelet op de sterk groeiende vraag en het plaatsgebrek op de huidige site werd de brouwerij voor verdere groei genoodzaakt uit te kijken naar een bijkomende locatie. Deze werd gevonden in de Industriezone AALST ZUID III, waar een bijzondere ruime productiehal werd aangekocht. Deze werd volledig gerenoveerd en uitgerust voor de verdere expansie van de brouwerij. Op deze site werden 6 gekoelde cylindroconische gistingstanks van 37 Hl/elk geïnstalleerd. Tegelijkertijd werd er een nieuwe Italiaans- Duitse afvullijn geplaatst voor 33 cl flesjes, en een ultramoderne hergistingskamer.

Ondanks alle investeringen in high-tech toestanden blijft de missie van de brouwerij ongewijzigd: op ambachtelijke wijze smaakvol natuurbier brouwen in een moderne installatie, met enkel de beste grondstoffen en zonder toevoeging van om het even welk kunstmatig additief!

330ml bottle bought at Vinmonopolet Langnes. Pours a noisy, large white head slowly diminishing over a hazy pale golden body, spotty lacing. Inviting aromas of grassy hops with a citric scent. Fresh yeasty fruitiness to the taste character joined by citrus and cereal malts. Bitter fruity ending. Medium bodied. Nice. (Tromsø, 19.11.2024).

Bottle @ home. Unclear pale golden body under a big, foamy white head. Mild and delicate aroma with Belgium yeast and noble hops. Taste is pale malt, wheat, spicy Belgium yeast and noble hops. Medium body with same aftertaste. Not a very bold beer, more like something between a blonde and wit but classic spicy Glazen Toren signature is definitely reconcilable. Well made and really tasty for a beer within this style.
