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.

On tap at Billie's Craft Beer Festival. A quite typical sour IPA/DIPA, grapefruity, lightly funky. Some vinegar in the finish. Nice, but a bit uninteresting, except for the refreshing qualities. 646413 251107

Thin body, med-high carbo. Light bitterness and sourness, pretty soft all around. Very low acetic. Med-light hoppy aromatics, grassy, flowery. Overall elegant, easy drinking, but also lacking a bit of oomph.

0.33 l bottle from 'Etre Gourmet', best before November 2027. Slightly hazy, deep golden orange with a thin, frothy, slowly diminishing, white head. Sweetish, sourish, quite fruity and a little vinous aroma of overripe lemon, vinegar, orange wine and hints of honey. Gently sweet, moderately sour, quite fruity, slightly vinous and minimally funky taste of overripe lemon, gooseberry, orange wine, cow fodder, some vinegar and traces of honey, followed by a medium long, gently tart, a little woody-dry finish. Medium body, slightly astringent and quite effervescent mouthfeel, average to lively carbonation. Well-balanced sour ale, quite complex, maybe a bit too fizzy.

Bottle shared. Clear deep golden. Oak, yoghurt, soft brandy, sweet wine, sugary, soapy, oak, quite herbal, apple, dry spicy malts. Medium sweet, less sour, light bitter. Full bodied. Smells weird, but I really like the taste. Very complex and interesting, but not a 100% a success.

Very intensely acetic, basically overpowering any and all other character. Lacks nuance, balance, drinkability, primitive.
