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 33 cl) Pours a very unclear, dark amber with a lively, off-white head leaving laces. Sweetish aroma of caramel, fruit and some yeast. Quite full-bodied with lots of fruit and diacetyl. A rather bitter finish - unusual for Belgium but not for Alvinne. 150107

(Bottle 33 cl) Hazy, amber golden with a gigantic and vey lively, off-white head - sort of shaving foam like. Very spicy aroma with some yeast. Full body with fruity accents, loads of diacetyl and a chemical unpleasant and very distinct bitterness. I’m not really fond of this. 150107

Bottled. An unclear orange beer with a huge light orange head - like whipped cream. The aroma is sweet malty with notes of caramel and yeast. The flavor is sweet spicy combined with notes of caramel, and malt with a light alcohol burn on the tongue, leading to a dry spicy end.

Cloudy brownish orange color, big off-white head. Aroma is very fruity with goldings and challenger hops. Weird taste, after reading the description on the bottle, it is definitely mustard, which gives the unusual notes. Nice brew.

Bottle at Dickies, Bruges, Belgium
Blond, hazy body. Creamy, white head. Excellent lace. Aroma of anice and tonic. Dito flavour (bitter). Therefor the flavour is quite weird. Off course very innovating and well done. It sure is a convincing beer. Just like it’s a style that I’ve never had before and I discover right now.

Bottle: Pored a chocolate color with a light brown head. Spicy aroma with high alcohol can be smelled. The alcohol was superior in this beer out weighed the fruit and spice flavor.
