About
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.

Hazy, pale amber. Looks murky and not especially appetizing. A bit on the boozy side, some vague berries, wood. Soft acidity, more juicy fruit, it's again a bit woody, mostly in the dryish finish. It's okay on the flavour, but looks lousy and the aroma is fairly rough around the edges.

330mL bottle, pours a cloudy dark amber brown with a small beige head. Aroma is full of jammy red berries, a touch of oak, and some balsamic. Flavour is quite boozy, with plenty of balsamic, tart, jammy berries, plenty of acetic notes, and some faded oxidative notes. Not really detecting the gin, but maybe that’s the booziness. Odd one but quite good.

340mL bottle. Pours murky brown with a small head. Balsamic, dark red berries, and dried fruits on the nose; pretty earthy. Flavour has balsamic, dark red berries, tart, gin botanicals. Maybe a touch too much balsamic, but quite nice.

Poured from 330mL bottle (pkg 2024; bb 10/2026). Hazy yellow with small white head. Floral, citrusy, foeder, prefer batch 1. Okay.

Opaque and pale. The floral, estery note combines well with the 586 and a touch of brett. On the palate, really nice bright pineapple and mango character. Touch of brett, this has a nice floral character.

330mL bottle, pour an opaque peachy golden with a small white head. Aroma is full of bitter floral hop, gloopy stone fruit pith, and earthy farmhouse yeast. Flavour is murky and muddled, with overripe stone fruit pith, bitter floral hops, and some farmhouse yeast. Seems messier and gloopier on the palate than batch 1. It’s okay, but pretty messy and uncoordinated.

330mL bottle, pours an opaque peachy golden with a small white head. Aroma has some faded floral hops, some earthiness, light farmhouse funk, and very faded leather. Flavour is lightly fruity, with a nice farmhouse funk, rustic saison yeast, faded floral hops, some earthiness, and ample bitterness. Rather muddled, but there’s some nice yeast expression and the bitterness helps. Good.
