Description
In 1994 Nino Bacelle decides - after a lot of experimental brews - that he is ready to bring his own beer to the market. It’s the start of Brewery Nino Bacelle. In 1995 Nino meets Guido Devos through the beer tasters association HOP. Guido is a founding member of HOP and has been active as an amateur brewer for years. Nino and Guido decide to pool resources and knowledge and hereby “Brewery Nino Bacelle“ turns into Brewery De Ranke. This name refers to the vines on which the main ingredient for beer grows: hops. The beers are brewed at the Deca Brewery

In 2005, after 11 years of brewing at Brewery Deca, Nino and Guido decide to start their own brewery in Dottenijs.

On tap at Moeder Lambic Fontainas, pours a clear golden with a medium beige head. Aroma has a nice spicy Belgian yeast character, bready malt, and floral hops. Flavour is bitter and bright, with lots of floral, bitter hops, bready malt, and spicy Belgian yeast. Bitter, spicy, and floral finish. Perfect balance. Excellent.

First shot of the day. Lovely! Dry, grainy, earthy bitterness. Not sure but it seems a bit more bitter than their standard saison. House saison at this great cafe. Didn't try the house de la Senne Tripel.

Aromas are dark malt, roast, Belgian yeast and candy sugar. Flavors are similar to nose, fairly mild with sweet slightly dominating. Add in a touch of metallic and mineral. A bit chalky. While good and not great, still very drinkable.

0.75l bottle. Orange body with practically no head. Aroma of sugar syrup, grapefruit, wood, grapes and a hint of vinegar. Taste of sugar syrup, lemon zest, grapefruit, wood, salt and some vinegar. Mostly sour, but the finish has some bitterness to it. Very nice.

Bottle, 5.5%. Mostly lagery aroma, perhaps with a touch of acid, but does not smell funky. Hazy dark golden colour. Good stable white head. The flavour is quite bitter and quite yeasty with a hint of fruit. Not so complex, but ok. 636314 / 6 6 6 6 7
