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 hazy, pale golden with a white head - looks pretty much like a typical Witbier. Vaguely tart nose with a touch of yeast. Medium-bodied with a lightly sweet maltiness. Some vaguely tart accents from the wheat and then a fresh fruitiness with some aroma hops without really being bitter. For once a fairly interesting Belgian Blonde Ale. 070706

Bottle, 6.5%. Weak asparagus/malt aroma. Cloudy light brown colour. Small light brown head. OK malty flavour with a slight sourness. Warming/burning aftertaste. Not my kind of Belgian.

Golden-orange hazy beer; very dense & fine yellowish tinted head. Very fresh malt nose, grassy, garden herbs and stinging nettles, and a lot of citrus - both zeste and fruit. Excellent balance between citrus and bitterish (hopp-y, not really hopcharacter), with just a hint at restsweetness. Little peppery finish - but it is thankfully devoid of overpowering spiceyness. Refreshing, drinkable, notwithstanding its after all respectable ABV. Aftertaste gives a little fruity-tinted sweetness. That’s a very good try for a first! It at least succeeded in being different from the habitual Alvinne range, and it’s extremely easy drinkable.

A muddy brown beer with a lazing brown head. The aroma is sweet malty with a light touch of spices. The flavor is sweet spicy combined with some notes of cellery, leading to a dry end, where the alcohol becomes present after have been hiding in the beginning.

A hazy amber beer with a huge off-white head. The aroma is sweet with light metallic notes - is it from the alcohol? The flavor is sweet with notes of metal and plastic, what went wrong here?
