Description
With the creation of Village brewery De Meester we want to re-establish the tradition of artisan brewing in Kuurne. Our beers are brewed solely according to the traditional brewing processes, with the greatest care and only with natural raw materials. For our beers, we use hop flowers from Poperinge exclusively and refrain for using nor colour pigments, nor foam improvers, nor artificial seasonings. The result of this traditional work methods are the beers of Village brewery De Meester. Beers with character, interwoven with aromas from the different local hops.

Nice dark amber with a beige head. Toasty malts, spices, light sweetness. Medium body. Flavor has a nice spice bite, sweet malts, toasted malt. Has the makings of a good beer but doesn’t come together like one.

355 ml bottle from Systembolaget. Clear, deep amber liquid with medium to big off-white head. Aroma of grapefruit hops, caramel, biscuits and spices. Maybe a bit cooked vegetables. Taste is light sweet, light bitter and light fruity. Boring, not much is going on here. Medium bodied with good carbonation. Doesn’t taste bad but is too boring, still nice with some hoppiness amongst all the malty Christmas brews.

Bottle. Reddish/amber with a small head. This was not a bad beer, but there was nothing special with this one, quite thin with notes of malt, some spices, bread and fruit. On the sweet side.

Ett julöl från Louisiana är ju kul. Gissningsvis har de andra jultraditioner där. En finstämd och nyanserad brown ale där doften lovar söt sirapslimpa och nykokt kola. Smaken är mindre söt, ja närmast torr för genren, brödig, lätt munkänsla, varsamt humlad med lätt efterbeska. En bra, lätt brown ale som funkar riktigt bra till julmaten.
