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!

Explosive head transforms to flat and bubbleless. Muddy turbid brown. Toffee flavor with a bit of caramel. Nice flavor, needs more complexity, perhaps by laying down for a year.

Bottled 75 cl (BB 09/2010). Dark, murky ruby-amber color, big beige head, lace, very lively bottle. Yeast, spices, toffee in the nose. Quite full-bodied. Citrusy spices, Belgian yeast, caramel malts. Some hops and alcohol in the finish. Although there is some candy sugars, more tart and lemony than sweet. Craft beer touch. Another solid product from this microbrewery.

750 ml bottle from Country Club Liquors. Huge gusher after I had cooled it to 50-55 F. Lost 2/3s of the bottle. Doesn’t seem infected , just very over carbonated. Nose of sweetness, light floral hops, pears, and spiciness. Cloudy golden orange with a huge off white head. Flavor has a slight bitterness and tartness, lightly sweet fruitiness, yeast, candi sugar, and spices. Finish a light bitterness. Would be pretty good if I got a whole glass to drink. My dealer said after i called about it that they had a couple of bottles with seeping caps they had to return so it’s way overcarbonated!!! Very expensive at $17 for 250ml of beer I get to drink.

Pours brilliant gold with thin off white head. The aroma is fruity with apple and apricots mixing with wheat notes, spicy yeast and lemon acidity. The taste is refreshing with light colored fruit and yeast and wheat notes. Just like the nose I get a bit of lemon along with a sense of wheat filling in into the finish.
