Description
Pepingen, een prachtige kleine gemeente tussen Halle en Gooik, ligt tussen de glooiende heuvels van ons Pajottenland. Het is opgenomen in het boek ‘De mooiste plekken om gelukkig te zijn in Vlaanderen’ en dat is zeker niet toevallig.

Een hoeve-stokerij? Jawel, we zijn terug naar de oorsprong van het distilleren gegaan door te kiezen voor een oude fruithoeve. En dat doen we niet zomaar, het is grotendeels met de grondstoffen die we zelf telen dat we verder gaan in ons proces. Echte grondstoffen zoals appels, mais, aardappels, tarwe, gerst, …

Aged sample Faint transparant rim over hazy orange-golden beer. Shoepolish, hazy, horseblanket, peach. Seriously sour. Again shoepolis, horseblanket, farmyard, barn straw. Again rather peach than apple, yet... bit cidery, as from crabapples. Undercarbonated. Light body with acidthinning. Original. How in the world didn't I hear earlier from this brewer?/blender. And guys, bottled 19|20, and BBd given for 2023? Seriously, a lambic beer that would keep only 2 years. Well, the proof is in the pudding.

Draft at Grote Dorst. It pours clear golden - blonde with a bubbly white head. The aroma is tangy fruity whisky character, boozey warmth, raisin, sultana, fruit cake, whisky fudge, toffee, toasty brown sugars, light funk and sweat. The taste is sweeter upfront than expected, whisky is right up there, raisin, sultana, toffee, fruit cake, creme brulé, custard, then there is a slap of acidity, puckering, lemon - lime, sherbet, white wine, gooseberry, oily and slick finale. Medium body and slick mouth feel. Love the combo here. I'm impressed it works.

Draft at Grote Dorst. It pours pretty clear muted golden with a bubbly white cap. The aroma is toasty grains, damp, musty, kitty litter, play dough, bready, here is some fruit, gooseberry and white currant. The taste is firmly dry, quite bracing acidity, enamel rip, puckering, gooseberry, sour white grape, sea buckthorn, tannin, musty, damp oak, deep funk and some chalky minerality. Medium body, flat and slick. Quite sharp up against the others we had in the lineup. A prickly unblended fella.

Aroma has musty leather and gentle low-level funk. Flavour is bracingly acidic, with light leather and hay. Flat, of course, and not particularly invigorating. Meh.

Magnum at the International Geuze & Kriek festival. Pours murky yellow with a white head. Musty apples skins and old wood on the nose. Flavour has musty apple skins, some old books, a bit woody; phenols on a closer inspection.

1.5L magnum, pours a cloudy pale golden with a medium white head. Aroma brings out musty leather, subtle apple skins, and a touch of earthy funk. Flavour has tons of apple core, phenols, and moderate funk. Lots of rotting apple core and phenols. This isn’t good.
