Description
Een aantal vrienden besluiten, na enkele jaren van bierproeven, om zelf de roerstok ter hand te nemen. In een, deels zelf in mekaar geknutselde brouwinstallatie van 30 liter, komen een 30tal bieren tot leven. Van licht tot donker, van zoet tot bitter…

Als hun (tot dan toe) laatste creatie: “Viswijf”, een zilveren medaille behaalt op de "Brouwland Biercompetitie”, worden plannen gesmeed om de rest van de wereld te laten meegenieten. Hans en Peter richten samen het bedrijf "Brouwerij Vissenberg" op en laten hun bier op vraag maken bij Brouwerij De Graal Brakel.

Eind 2015 kunnen ze hun grote droom waar maken en start de bouw van hun eigen ambachtelijke micro brouwerij met ketels van 300 liter. Medio 2016 is alles klaar en kan gestart worden met productie in Nijlen. In Nijlen zullen nieuwe bieren het levenslicht zien en experimenten gedaan worden. Het team is ondertussen versterkt door Jelle.

Medium creamy, cream-coloured head over orange-copperish beer. Aromatic, exotic fruit nose, hoppy, fragrant. Sweetish, malty, but with a fine sourish edge around the tonguesides. Good, short of being remarkable. Light to medium bodied, well-carbonated. Not bad at all, but I won’t get excited.

Hazy orange with big fluffy head. Typical stong, spicy, yeasty Belgian feel but with solid bitterness in the finish.

Pretty cloudy amber beige beer, huge foamy off-white to yellowish head, very stable, adhesive. Aroma: citrus, but not like American hops, more Euro hops. Fruity, with a Belgian yeast twist, bit spicy. MF: ok carbon, medium body. Taste: citrus, grassy hops, pretty bitter, dry, chemical touch, spicy, Belgian yeast, fruity. Aftertaste: grassy bitter hop, fruity, some yeast.

Bottle from my friend Eric drunk at Toji while reading Belgian Beer & Food Magazine. Served in a chalice. This Belgian Strong Ale pours a cloudy orange gold with a fizzy beige head that dissipates quickly. The nose is appetizingly fruity, citrusy orange, spices & a breadiness. The taste is sweet, fruity, hard candies, with a bready malt character. The finish gives some hoppy bitterness with a herbal somewhat minty taste. As it warms up the flavors open up giving a bit more of a Belgian farmhouse feel. Very tasty. The mouthfeel is soft & round, medium bodied with a light effervescent carbonation. It doesn’t come off as terribly complex but it is a damn delicious brew!

33 cl. bottle split costs & contents with Kogymo. Procured from Willems. Hazy orange with a solid white head. Nose carries surprisingly hops, not overt but clearly there and quite enjoyable, oranges and light pine resin, fruity, touch flowers. Taste is a touch more yeast forward than hoppy but still with some nice hops. Sweet white bread hops, oranges, faint pine, touch sweetness, fruity, orange, some sweetness. Body is a touch yeast, low on bitterness. Surprisingly nice, needs less yeast & more hops but enjoyable for sure.
