Description
Alvinne is a 1200hl microbrewery in Flanders, Belgium. It has become an official brewery in 2004 and is located in the village of Moen, at the edge of the Mortagne touristic area and in the area where the historic breweries of the old Flemish Brown beerstyle are situated.

Their own yeast strain is called ‘Morpheus’ and was the reason to start experimenting with mixed fermentation, resulting in sour ales. Alvinne’s main mission is now to create innovative sour beers through a new style of Flemish blond sours by using the mixed fermentation method. You could call it the missing link between Oud Bruin and Lambic. Because of this, Alvinne has gained international attention and respect.

We already experimented with over 30 different kinds of fruits, herbs, plants, berries, flowers and vegetables. Next to the sour range, Alvinne has an interesting beer list that were aged on carefully selected used barrels, such as Cognac, Porto, Sherry, Calvados, Brandy, Red Wine and White Wine. Since 2018, we have started our own Membership “Alvinne’s Fellowship Of Exceptional Ales” to give our core fans the priority to get hands on our very exclusive and limited beers.

Cognac-coloured beer with an off-white rim. Acetic & lactic nose, brown sugar dissolved in the acids and wood-lagered; chocolate, dried red fruit, winecasks. Soupy - with a mineral flavour, I suspect DMS in higher concentration giving a shellfish flavour. Again winecasks, dried red fruit and lactic acid - no more acetic. Some acidburn and lots of -thinning, lively carbonation. Less aggressive than some of the Morpheus line. Txs to Stef!

Aus der Flasche im 2025-06 getrunken. Diese Version des dunkel-rotbraunen Ale ist was Säure und Alkoholgehalt angeht sehr gut ausbalanciert. Doch hier kommt die Frucht nicht so sauber daher wie das andere Sour'ire de Mortagne Bosbes ohne BA. Der Tanineinfluss durch das BA ist da, aber das ist irdendwas unstimmiges in den Aromen. Ich glaube das ist die Fruchtaromen des Spanish Brandy und die Blaubeeren passen irgendwie nicht zusammen. Kein schlechtes Ale doch lanmge nicht so gut wie das Sour'ire de Mortagne Bosbes was nur 1/3 des Preises gekostet hatte.

Aus der Flasche im 2025-06 getrunken. Dieses fast klar goldene Ale kommt mit seine weißen Schaumkrone mit einer deutlichen saueren Note daher. Fruchtaromen von Trauben und Citrusfrüchten ist zu entdecken. Alles sehr balanciert mit der typischen hohen Qualität, die man von Alvinne kennt. Tolles Ale für den Sommer!
