Description
Gezien bier brouwen steeds energie vraagt van de aarde willen wij zo ecologisch mogelijk werken. Dit beleid voeren we door in ons brouwproces, maar ook in de oorsprong van onze ingrediënten. De brouwerij heeft als doel een off-grid brouwerij te zijn.

Onze eigenzinnigheid weerspiegelt zich in onze bieren. We brouwen met gezuiverd regenwater, gebruiken biologische en circulaire grondstoffen zoals oud brood, wagen ons aan een laag-alcoholische pils en gerijpt bier op bordeaux vaten. Bier met inhoud.

Very good, dense, amberish head over deep red-brown beer. Liquorice, indeed old bread, dry wood, bit of chocolated, plywood. Mild sweetness, dry, again plywood. Bit soupy, hint at coriander, nutty. Faint lactic acidity in the finish, enhanced by the CO². Medium bodied, very well carbonated; slick to viscous. Strange beer, difficult to classify. Txs to Stef!

Taste: sourish start, almost lemony, gentle roast, very dry, a little bitter, green coffee, some banana peel. Aftertaste: sourish finish, lime, almost zesty, soft roast, very dry finish, some dark chocolate, decent!

Pinkish, bit fluffy head over clear reddish copper beer, lively carbonated. Woody nose, old dried cherries, cherry liqueur, faint liquorice and cypress needles. Sour cherry, tastes a bit aged, also age-thinned. All quite demure flavours, no fireworks. Light body, good carbonation; still quite slick, giving a light syrupy impression all the same. Possibly a tad aged, but it pulls in different directions: syrup vs. fruit. Txs to Stef!
