Description
All our beers have been and continue to be elaborated and tested in our nano-brewery located in Ganshoren, Brussels. As soon as our recipe is ready, we brew it ourselves at a larger scale at the De Meester brewery in the Kortrijk area. In each batch we use all our know-how to offer you high-quality beers. Click here to find out more about our brewing methods.

For the record, the origin of the name Gansbeek comes from the merger of the names of the municipalities where we live, namely Ganshoren and Etterbeek.

We brew our beers in a traditional and artisan way, being very attentive to the local economic development. That is why we only use 100% Belgian raw materials to brew our beers. The hops come from Hainaut and the malt from Antwerp

Short-lived medium head over hazy orange-amberish beer. White candi sugar, citrus, dry malts, spices, peppery, orange liqueur. Dry, again orange liqueur, again candi sugar and spicy malts. Sweetness increases warming up, but there remains an indefinable, covert mild acidity. Feels a bit light, and not only because of attenuation. Soft carbonation, if still a bit tittilating. Run-of-the-mill; not bad.

Glass of off-white foam, reluctantly releasing clear golden beer, well-carbonated. Coriander & solvent immediately upon opening. Then strange, but not disagreable whiffs of lambic-like horseblanket, straw, lemonpeel and finally again coriander. Bitter, grapefruit- or lemonpeel; spicy bitterness, rootspices, Blue Curaçoa, hints of mould. Warming up, some faintly fruity and definitely sweeter flavours come drifting up. Creamy MF from the omnipresent head, well-carbonated; dry but spritzy MF, light. Utterly unconventional wit - and seen the dreary rut this "style" represents - all the better for it > extra marks!

Huge, very dense & fine off-white head over veiled orangey beer with textbook lace. Pale malts, dry spices, garden herbs & weeds, bit breadyeast. Quite bitter, crude bittering hops; some toasted malts behind, vegetable notes, yeast, dried orangerind. Bit soapy taste from the very stable head. Warming up, taste developping as dried fruit - dried apricots f.i. Medium bodied, good carbonation. Belgian hops used. Oh yeah.
