Description
The recipe for Bourgogne des Flandres was passed on to other family breweries under the watchful eye of Michel Van Houtryve. From 1985 onwards Bourgogne des Flandres was brewed at Timmermans Brewery in Itterbeek, the oldest Lambic brewery in he world. In 1993 John Martin took over Timmermans Brewery. As a result, Bourgogne des Flanders ended up in the Martin’s Finest Beer Selection among other classics.

With Anthony Martin at the helm of the company, Bourgogne des Flandres became part of the Finest Beer Selection and its reputation was reaffirmed with the creation of a new brewery just a stone’s throw from the original Den Os Brewery in 2015.

Thanks bierkoning!
Slightly hazy golden color, small white head. Fruity estery, almost banana aroma. Active carbonation. Fruity but dry flavor. Some leather, lemon and peach. Short hoppy-fruity, oily finish. Nothing special in this blonde.

Bottle. Dark brown color. Caramel and cherry in the aroma. Slightly soured flavor, malty with toffee, cherry sweets and dust. Sweet and sour coincide well. Pleasant Flemish brown, I guess it was intended that way.Earlier Rating: 1/9/2003 Total Score: 3.5Big frothy head. Aroma has oak, cinnamon and berriues. Sweetish, almost creamy flavor with a good deal of sourness, oak, honey and pineapple.

Painted bottle, bought in Denekamp. Blonde, hazy. Flowery hoparoma. Malty flowery flavor with a hint of peach. Pleasant blonde ale, gets a bit sticky towards the end, but is it really made by a lambic brewery??
