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.

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.

Bottled at 3rd Brugs BF. Hazy amber colour, off white head. Aroma is sweet, malty, caramel, fruity, light metallic. Flavour is light roasted malts, caramel, light sweet, light fruity with a light bitter finish. More than average carbonation. Light to medium bodied. OK beer.
