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.

15th anniversary beer for the restaurant. Heavy umami, despite the maple syrup.

Head gone in the blink of an eye; almost still golden beer. Watercolour paint, pastry glazing, almonds. Tad chemical too. Again watercolour paint, cinnamon, speculoos spices, and rhubarb. Unbalanced. Light body, undercarbonated, not slick at all. Flavours pulling in all directions at once. Weird. Txs to Stef!

How can I be the first check-in? Anyway, good stuff! Mosaic shines through. Pleasantly sour.

I purchased a 75 cl bottle at Be Hoppy in Madrid earlier this month, pleased to find it. Now I am home and ready to sample this quadrupel. My Chimay glass is arrayed, I lift the cap off from the bottle and pour. Dark amber-brown in color, sort of like La Trappe Quadrupel, with a spare amount of recharging foam on the top. I call the scent attractive. Ripe dark fruit, grain and a small flowery background. The taste is as expected and easy to like. Figs, a soft vinous quality, slightly sour, malt, yellow fruit and a hint of toffee. The moderately high ABV is totally covered. Not a knock-it-out-of-the park quadrupel but a pleasant brew.
