Description
The brewery is the beating heart of the Craywinckelhof. It all started in 1893, when Germaan Van Obbergen, like many farmers at the time, started a small farm brewery. The brewery, however, was not granted a long life, during the First World War the German occupiers seized all the brewing material. In 2010, Louis Schrevens, now the 5th generation, decided to restore the brewery to its former glory.

Bottled. A hazy amber beer with a lazing beige head. The aroma has notes of malt, fruit, candy, and yeast. The flavor is sweet with notes of malt, caramel, and dusty hops, leading to a dry finish. The body is light.

Bottle 33 cl. Courtesy of fonefan. Pours a cloudy amber with lumpy impurities with an off-white head - comes heavily gushing, bastards! Sweet caramel aroma, brown sugars. Medium body, caramel and a little overripe fruitiness, some phenols. Absolutely no bitterness. 230511

(bottle, 33cl) Hazy, dark amber colour with a mid-sized off-white foamy head. Yeasty and sweet caramel-malty and distinctively fruity notes of berries and ripe pineapples. Sweet flavour with a tinge of sourness, light to medium bodied with a moderate carbonation. Yeasty and fruity taste with a cara-malty base; sweet-bitter and fruity finish with a shy acidic tartness shining through. Nice but not particularly exciting. 25.XI.10

Explosive gushing to disappearing head over muddy amber beer. Perfumed nose, with some pine, juniper and a jumble of yeastesters, including meaty ones. Yeast, yeast, yeast. Dry grains or similar as buckwheat or farro; buckwheat pasta, old cookies. I was expecting some sourness or so, but none of that. Yeast filled to medium body, very carbonated MF, very lightly burning feel. Weird.
