Description
All Dikke Jan beers are brewed by ourselves at the DECA brewery in Vleteren (Woesten). This brewery has a long historical background. The unique thing about this very special artisanal brewery is that it is still brewed in the old maisch tub. She is no less than one hundred years old! Fermentation also still takes place in open copper and stainless steel vats. Top beers are brewed here in the old fashioned way.

Donkergeel bier met stevig schuim. Smaak licht bitter hoppig en ietwat zoet met iets van ananas en banaan.

Good, orangeish tinted head over hazy orange beer. Spicy nose, orangepeel, lots of spices, bit of honey, blossoms. Spicy yeasty flavour, dry straw and again orangepeel. Finish is quite bitter. Warming up, something vaguely liqueurish coming up. Quite carbonated and quite slick; medium bodied. A bit overspiced character (probably the yeast, rather than real spices), but not bad.
