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!

Bottled. Hazy dark brown, small beige head. Caramelly malt dominatet he nose. Sweeting with soothing cottony soft mouthfeel. Slimmer than expected but still full of toffee and with cranberry tartness. The finish holds some spun sugar but no bitterness. Mild, yet flavourful with no edges whatsoever. Both interesting and enjoyable.

Courtesy of CigarCityBrew. Pours hazy gold with a hint of straw and carrying a bright white head. The aroma is mild with light colored fruity esters, honey, some banana and some sort of tartness that rises up. The taste is mild and smooth to start bringing in some fruitiness from apricots and apples along with honey, a hint of grainy malts, some banana and faint bubble gum. Very sessionable tripel.

750ml bottle. Came gushing out upon opening the cap. Deep brown-amber color with a large, slowly fading head. Bottle describes it as a Special Belgian Dubbel, which is a lot more relevantly descriptive than "Belgian Strong Ale". More of a a fruity malt delight than a sweet dark candi sugar Dubbel. The yeast profile and soft mouthfeel will be familiar if you’ve had other De Glazen Toren stuff. Mellow and drinkable, with a pungent, fruity caramel taste that works quite well.

Amber with a big off-white head. Tropical fruits like peach and yeast in the nose, not unlike a peach tea, plus some caramel. Dry and malty flavour with a certain fruity sweetness, and a nice slightly bitter finish.

Bottle at TheWolf@supertasting. Pours hazy golden with a creamy lasting head. Aroma is very spicy - lots of coriander & wheaty notes. Good soft & smooth body. A bit citric but very nice Imperial witbier!
