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!

On tap at ZBF 08. Cloudy gold, lasting thin white head. Bit stale and oxydised on aroma. Some toffee, not a lot of hop. Some hop sting, just a bit dull on arma and body, but hop finish is good.

Muddy amber body with a rocky, creamy off-white/lightly brown head. Nicely balanced aroma of flowers, hops, sweet malts. Moderately bitter, lightly sweet flavour of malts and cane sugar. Well balanced, nice beer but not too complex.

Draught Amber head, fast disappearing over chestnut beer with noise shine. Fruity, estery, fresh greenery & greenmalt. Greenmalt & chocolate malt (strange combination...) Lots of chocolate in the main taste with a spicy, coffee-like lining. Bit burning MF. Medium to well-bodied, some alcohol. Note bad, but a bit undirected beer, could swing out any way.

On tap from Max’s during Belgian Fest. Pours a ruby, copperish red with a clumping white head. Aroma of Belgian yeast, spices, flowers and candy. Flavor has pronounced malt with yeast, grass and lemons. Finish is crisp and smooth.

Slight haze in orange-light amber beer with white, fluffy head. Some hops, biscuit malts, sweet, very faraway milkchocolate. Sweet, honey flavour obvious, garden herbs. Pretty discreet, all in all. Finish gives some strawberryjam-like flavour, watered down. Long sweet finish, medium bodied. Another dull one, today. I hope it’s me.

Hazy dark amber. Toffee-cherry nose. Sweet body with plum, toffee and hints of earth. It’s one of those "okay" Belgians, probably lacking a crazy enough yeast.
