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.

Pours clear, golden . Medium large white head of low stability. Scent is very girardin like in terms of funk and wood. Grapes seem very herbal, citrus, green, spicy. Taste is malty, mild funk, wood, more fruity grapes than anticipated - juicy, citric, tad grassy but not nearly as herbal. Medium body with medium carbonation. Drinks very, very easy. A bit to the safe side, grapes aren't super pronounced or specific. Great as a drinking beer, but I'm not as amazed as I was from the previous white grape they've done.

Bottle shared. Bit hazy orange to red with small head. Light funk, crisp sour beer with a bit of funk and lemon, tons of fresh fruity grapes with a bit of strawberry and red currants. Medium sour, less bitter and even lighter sweet. Over light bodied. Quite nice, very drinkeable and fresh.

750ml bottle from House of Trembling Madness. It pours clear amber blonde with a handsome fluffy white head. The aroma is freshly baked goods, farmhouse style bread, biscuit, cereal, touch of nuttiness, candied lemon, lemon curd, pomelo, citron, toasty grains, grass and florals. The taste is super crisp, dry, snappy, pleasing grassy bitterness which lingers, woody, slightly herbal, waxy lemon peel, pithy, zesty, lemon curd, pomelo, fragrant, floral, nutty, cereal, hearty bread character and a touch of pepper with a drying, finish with lemon verbena. Average body and moderate, fluffy carbonation. The full package. Hearty, yet moreish. Flavourful and has a good depth for the style.
