Description
Kris Smedts en Mieke Nijs brouwen na het proefdraaien huisgebrouwen, ambachtelijke bieren. Dit onder de merknaam Witlov. Inspiratie voor de naam zochten ze in de streek waar ze wonen en brouwen, de witloofstreek. De naam verwijst tegelijkertijd naar hoe het bier gemaakt is: samen en met veel liefde, with love.

750 ml. bottle sampled @ 20ste Zomerbierfestival. Made for the the 20th edition of said attended festival. Made with peated malts. Visually, huge amount of yeast floating in the glass, dark brown, little head. Nose is indeed plastic peat, lots of plastic, light malt, thin & varnish. Taste is dull empty plastic peast, light varnish, lemon, malt, fruity,… Body is thin, plastic & dull. Yet is has peat but it doesn’t do anything interesting, it isn’t in combination with anything,… Just lots of plastic & plastic-tasting peat. Meh.
