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!

Light gushing to very good, just off-white head over fully hazy orange beer. Spicy, estery notes, fruity (citrus) and lightly farmyard-like, lots of herbal notes, fresh-smelling. Quite bitter and very yeasty taste, undissociable from the creamy-yeasty, also spritzy MF. Bitterness is long-lasting, hoppy & vegetal (chicory). Rather well-bodied, the carbonation making it deceptively light & drinkable in appearance. Very good, challenging brew. The name might be less than inviting, but one sip of the brew remedies that. NB. Crown corks are not its best features, as I lost ¼ of the bottle in my car between the shop and home…

Bottled at Kerstbierfestival 2007. An unclear orangey beer with a lazing off-white head. The aroma is very spicy with coriander and cloves being most dominant. The flavor is sweet matly with strong notes of spices - again cloves and coriander, but also light notes of alcohol, leading to a dry spicy finish.
