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.

A kind of ’edelbier’ from the guys (obsoletely) trying to recreate the Biertoren brewery. Creamy, egg-white, quickly opening head over a cloudy peach blonde robe, almost amber but not quite there. Refreshing, not unpleasant flavour of subtle fruit sweetness, apple, peach and a very subdued hint of orange peel, melon is there too, supple and lean mouthfeel, slight nutty touch, light on the tongue considering it has 7.5% ABV, gentle herbal hop bitterness in the end, alcohol well hidden. In all, a technically good beer, appetizing and quite enjoyable by all means, but I do wonder what this brewing company has to add to an already overcrowded Belgian ale landscape.

My first beer from this new micro brewery, which is apparently housed in the former Biertoren premises, an old school Flemish brewery from a bygone era. These people do not seem to have a lot of knowledge of international beer trends, so they brewed... another tripel. Cloudy yellow blonde colour, sticky but still loosely structured, off-white head; aroma of unripe peach, banana, freshly cut celery, bubblegum, some honey, grass and an unfortunate hint of DMS (cauliflower) - I guess they tried to finish it too quickly for the ZBF. Smoothly sweet taste, a bit honeyish, supple and slick mouthfeel, bubblegum sweetishness, decent bready malts supporting it, finishing in a grassy, simple hop bitterishness accompanied by a fairly strong, ’jenever’-like alcohol presence, warming but a bit wry as well. Sorry to say this, but if this beer is intended to revive the Biertoren era, think again: the world has changed meanwile, and there are just too many tripels around nowadays.
