Description
The name Brasserie du Flo originates from the locality located just in front of the town hall. At this place was a body of water, the size of which varied according to the seasons and which was called 'Le Flo'. The Confrérie de St. Antoine (Brotherhood of St. Antoine) has had its own beer brewed since 1978 (Cuvée St. Antoine Brune). The beer was brewed for years at Brasserie du Bocq in Purnode and then at the Van Steenberge brewery in Ertvelde. In December 2002 a private microbrewery was established in the former town hall of Blehen.

After being at a standstill following the explosion of a tank in 2017, a new project (still under the wings of the Confrérie de St. Antoine) is being set up where the quality and the didactic aspect are put forward. A young team of enthusiasts will invest in modern equipment to relaunch the brewery.

Bottle. Pastis aroma. Distinct liquorice and aniseed aroma. Hazy orange colour. No head. The flavour is spicy, herbal with some aniseed. Citric finish, a lot like apple juice. Pure cough syrup, but OK drinkable. Probably a beer most people will hate.

Small, ochre-tinted head, fast gone over dull orange-amber beer. Nose as from a fine gueuze, with Brett-like farmyard & leather notes; fruit as citrus, crabapples, starfruit. Sweet-tart, fruity and woody flavours, with apples prominent, and a general impression as from a haltingly sweetened faro. Bit liquorice retronasal. Great! Slightly spritzy MF, making the body appear lighter than medium. Fruity, lasting aftertaste. Excellent fruitbeer, balanced between light sweet and fruity - love it!

Small, cream-coloured head over fully hazy ruby-brown beer. Concentrated fruitnose, obviously cherry, both with sweet-syrupy and sourish vectors, as well as slightly milky. Not bad as aromas. Clean-tasting foreground, spritzy and acidic, hiding an again concentrated-syrupy background. One difficult to fathom, this one, but generally pleasing. Smoky cherrystones glimpsing through. Apart from the cherries, a faint sweet apple flavour, and as to the spices, I suspect cinnamon. Medium bodied, very slick, near-syrupy feel that is difficult to describe. Nice kriek, but the syrupy touches disturb. The nettles have become inconspicous.

Exuberant, lightly yellow-coloured head, leaving rings of lace over hazy yellow-orange beer with mossy and amber reflections, faraminously carbonated. Malt and vegetable/greenery nose, bit spicy in the finish. Spicy-(black)peppery flavour, with oak, oxydized malts and again unidentifyable greenery - no doubt the nettles. Extremely lively carbonated, bit buttery feel amongst all the spritziness. Medium bodied. Meaty esters in the aftertaste, warmed up a bit. Oxydized notes (for a beer, given good for another 2 years) are annoying. Some people might decide this beer is fizzy... I would wish more small, artisanal brewers would try to excert a little more control over what they’re doing.
