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.

Bottle from Drankenhandel Leiden. Aroma is roasted malt, tart dark/red fruits, chocolate, caramel, some bretty funk, wood, and some vinous notes. Flavour is tart and moderate sweet with some roasty bitterness. Body is disappointingly medium. I wish this were more full and rich.

From tap at Taplokaal Gist, Utrecht. Grainy and yeasty aroma with funky notes, ripe fruits, sugary apricot, stone fruits, nice funk and yeast aroma. Flavour is a little tart and sweet, body is mediu. Not your typical Tripel, I dig the Alvinne approach, very tasty.

From tap at Borefts 2019. Big smoked malt aroma with herbal notes, peach, smoked bacon, vinegar, pickles. Big puckering sourness, very smokey, bold and in-your-face. Wow, quite an uncompromising beer. Love it or hate it? I for one am very pleased.

Аромат весьма кислый, сразу есть яблочная моченость, немного уксуса, нотки от ягод, возможно немного сушеных яблок. Цвет черно коричневый, пены нету. Вкус еще более уксусный и даже с ноткой йода, еще большая кислота от ягод, почти не ощущаешь какие именно. При глотке моченость от яблок сильная. Легкий дисбаланс в некоторых ингридиентах как по мне.
