Description
Two locals, whose grandparents were still working in the mine, developed the beers. The plan to brew on a large scale soon followed. The first liters of Kompel beer poured out of the tanks at Brouwerij Anders! Kompel Bovengronds was quickly successful and six months later Kompel Ondergronds came onto the market. Between the summer of 2015 and 2018, the beers were brewed at Kasteelbrouwerij Ter Dolen in Houthalen-Helchteren. Since 2019, the beers have been brewed on a larger scale at the Pilot Brewery in Lochristi.

330ml bottle. Cloudy, amber colour with average to huge, frothy, osteoporosing, moderately lacing, off-white head. Sweet-ish, floral aroma, notes of honey, floral honey. Taste is sweet, floral and mildly bitter hoppy, minimally diluted notes of honey, petals; bitter, floral finish with alcoholic overtones.
Watery texture, minimally dry palate, medium, prickly to lively carbonation.
More diluted honey than beer, a tad disharmonious, imbalanced, too bitter - not really convincing.
