Description
Oprichter/brewmaster Sven Kerstens, geniet van een biertje aan de Theems in Londen.
Tijdens de nu beruchte lockdown periode was Sven hoofd van microbrouwerijen binnen de Brewdog groep en woonachtig te Greenwich, Londen (postcode SE10). Het was een periode van ingrijpende veranderingen. Het idee om zelf een microbrouwerij op te starten begon vorm te krijgen. SE10 was geboren en de zoektocht naar een geschikte locatie was begonnen.
Was het toeval, of stond het in de sterren geschreven, in een pub in Greenwich had Sven een ontmoeting met personen nauw betrokken bij de Blikfabriek te Hoboken, Antwerpen.
De locatie in de Blikfabriek was beslist.
De rest is geschiedenis, of schrijven we toekomstmuziek ? Wie zal het zeggen, tijd is hoe dan ook relatief...

Draught White head, soon reduced to lace over metallic golden beer. Strong malt nose, intense 'beery' aromas, dry leaves, peppercorn. Sweet & dry at the same time, lots of restsugars. Again this leafy character, autumn raked. Hints of candi sugar, and lightly toasted caramel. Ends drier, spicier. Some light alcoholfeel, slick, mild carbonation. I find it a tad sweet for a 'tripel', to be honest. If the spicing would have been upped, the character might have benefitted.
