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.

New Wilde Brouwers beer from Ghent and named after the current Ghent mayor, Daniel Termont... Brewed with recycled sewer water and Belgian hops. Thick and coarse, large-bubbled, irregular, egg-white head, lightly hazy coppery bronze robe. Aroma suffers heavily from actual sewer water odours (H2S!), rotting egg even, but not so strong that it completely obliterates more flattering hints of old brown bread, ginger powder, raisins, peanuts, fermenting autumn leaves, sugared tea, apple peel and overripe apricots. Sweet onset, banana ester, lots of residual sugars, bit sticky at first even; slick, bit resiny mouthfeel, butterscotch- and peanut-like smooth maltiness but suffering from very sharp overcarbonation. Ends with phenolic spiciness, ongoing residual sweetness, retronasal sewer water, some warming alcohol and a dash of floral hop bitterness. Too sweet for my tooth, overcarbonated and, the biggest issue here, unpleasantly suffering from a rotting, sulfuric odour - even more so than in their first beer... Too bad, really wanted to like this one seen my love for the city of Ghent!

Bottle bought at my local butcher's shop (Bruges), to celebrate its anniversary, and to promote this new microbrewery in Ghent. The label states to leave the deposit in the bottle, but I pour most of it in one glass and the rest with deposit in another.
Without deposit: hazy golden with a quickly disappearing, white head. The aroma contains lots of yeast, barnyard, basement aromas, spices, some fruits and cooked vegetable. It tastes medium bitter and light sweet with a dry finish. Light, almost medium body, watery texture, soft carbonation. A bit soapy.
With deposit: cloudy ochre, no head, and indeed lots of dregs. More yeast in the aroma, earth, dust, cellar, some spices. Medium bitter and leaning towards light sour. Dry finish, and rather 'heavy' on the stomach. Palate remains the same.
All in all, an interesting brew (with an 'old fashioned' aroma) that needs some polishing but unfortunately, that doesn't automatically give it a pleasant taste...

19/VIII/17 - 33cl bottle @ Gents Bierfestival - BB: n/a (2017-1272) Thanks to the Belgian ratebeer crew for sharing today's beers and celebrating my 10K!
Pretty cloudy amber beer, creamy solid beige head, pretty stable, bit adhesive. Aroma: very malty, grains, caramel, bit spicy, fruity. MF: soft carbon, medium body. Taste: quite some citrus, very malty, grains, some caramel, bit fruity. Aftertaste: pretty fruity, citrus, very light soft bitterness, some dried fruits, raisins. In all a pretty light and refreshing ale. Even though probably intended as a crowd pleaser, I think experienced beer tasters will often like it as well. (Thanks 77ships for proving me wrong :p )
