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.

33cl. Dorée, trouble aux couleurs de foin, col blanc épais. Arôme houblonné, profile levure typique belge. Fruité avec une présence d’ester et un bouquet houblonné allant vers l’orange. En bouche, levure et ester, fruit tropical rappelant la mangue et banane. Malt léger procurant un aspect caramel et grillé. Reste dans une lignée belge, malt pale. Bien fruitée avec aussi une touche d’orange et douce peut être sucre brun.

33cl bottle. Dorée, couleur foin trouble, col blanc, pétillant dans un style champagne. Arôme est fruité rappelant les pommes/poire, le tout avec une note de levure. En bouche, dominé par le fruit, plus dans le style purée, note de pomme allant vers le cidre et laissant un profile léger acidulé/fruité, note épicée au palais avec en retrait une pointe minime d’amertume, venant peut être du houblon. Rappelle la pomme d’apicole, sans le miel.

33cl bottle, with a different label and abv of 9%, label looked more like a pixel photocopy with a monk and a pig on it. BB end 2013. Couleur cuivre, col beige. Arôme, je retrouve là le profile typique de br. Flo de part sa levure. Malt léger laissant des effluves de noisettes avec ce côté fruité noirs laissant échapper une fine aigreur. En bouche, levure possible vers un profile champagne pour une carbonnation active et bulles qui picotent sur la langue. Malt léger grillé et doux/sucré avec une note minime de chocolat. Pointe d’épice rappelant la réglisse et anise, malt grillé léger e tout entrecoupé de fruits noirs; cerise. Un houblon finement amer est perçu sans dominer le tout, une très légère aigreur fruitée / (possible levure) se dégage également.

33cl bottle. Ambrée, trouble, col beige. Arôme épicé, malt et levure côté mielleux, malt grillé et caramel, allant vers le speculoos avec qcq fruits noirs et épicé. En bouche, bière gardant le profile de la lignée de cette petite brasserie, agréable, profile est doux, pas sûr si cette dernière a du miel, cela se mélange avec un malt grillé, caramel, des épices et un fini de levure. Note de cannelle pour un fini agréable même suivant les 10% qui passent facilement.

Sample from 33 cl bottle at the 17th Kerstbierfest in Essen. Murky amber brown color, white edge head. Aroma is subtly and evenly spiced. Taste is balanced cinnamon and caramel with a bit of citrus. Very nice.
