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.

I thought it was a tripel and it was just as good, if not as complex, as the Balthazar. Sweet aroma that includes wheat and citrus-hops, as well as herbs and spices I can’t name. Cloudy orange and a long lasting head. Sweet fruit and more wheat in the flavor. Very full body and the high abv expertly hidden.

Found at Dickie’s in Bruges, March 2007. One of the most interesting beers I found in Belgium. This is comparable to Pannepot, though not quite that good. A huge spray of beer and foam that required two glasses for serving. The foam fades slowly. Black licorice and malt aroma. A thick, heavy, and sweet beer. Spices are evident, including cardamom. Sweet malt throughout, and a surprising dry finish.

At ZBF, Sint-Niklaas, Belgium
Muddy, orange body. Off-white, frothy head. Looks a bit dull and unfinished. Moderately sweet aroma. Moderately sweet, lightly bitter flavour. It even didn’t look dull, it even tastes like, very low carbonated. Is this wort?

(Bottle 33 cl) Slightly hazy amber golden with an off-white head leaving laces. Sharp and leathery hop aroma. Medium body, some fruit and malt sweetness quickly overpowered by a very dry and distinct bitterness. An unusual Belgian Blond. 070307

Fruchtiger Geruch, etwas süßlich-hefig, bananige Note. Hopfiger Antrunk, dabei leicht süßlich. Im Hintergrund baut sich eine herbe Note auf, die aber erst im Nachgeschmack zum Zuge. Dort ist das Bier recht würzig, die Süße macht das Bier zusätzlich süffig. Test vom 4.3.2007, Gebinde: Glasflasche Noten: 9,9,9,10,-,9 - 9,15

Bottle: Poured a dark brown with white head and plenty of carbonation. The aroma was spicy. The flavor was tangy and very carbonated which reacted to on the tongue.

Malzig-alkoholischer, etwas säuerlicher Geruch, in dem auch noch der Hopfen Platz findet. CO2 ist hier nicht vorhanden. Süßer Antrunk, etwas alkoholisch, dabei malzig-süß werdend, um den Alkohol zu vertuschen. Dabei wird mir das Bier etwas zu süß, der Hopfen zu kratzig. Der Nachgeschmack ist wunderbar schokoladig. Test vom 4.3.2007, Gebinde: Glasflasche Noten: 8,8,8,12,-,8 - 8,63

Poures golden and cloudy with a nice fluffy white head. The aroma is yeasty, and spicey with citrus and orange notes along with some malt. Alcohol becomes evident as it warms up. Has a nice body with light carbonation. Citrus, malts and the spices are noticeable, too in the flavor as well. Finishes a little sour with some alcohol as well. Pretty good Tripel.

(Bottle 33 cl) Hazy, amber golden with a small, off-white head. Aroma of yeast and sweetish fruit. Solid, full body. Sweetish malty with some fruit and then a slightly chemical edge of diacetyl. For an Alvinne this ain’t too bad though. 300107
