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.

Aromas are malt, toast, hops, and the Belgian candy sugar effect. Flavors are similar to nose, bittersweet with a lingering sweetness from the candy sugar. Excellent carbonation and good body. Standard good Belgian beer but nothing too unusual. Very drinkable.

Aromas are caramel malt, brett, oak, herbs and spices with some fruit. Flavors are somewhat similar to nose, moderately tart up front with a little sweet in back. Decent body and carbonation. Good but nothing too special.

0.33l bottle at Ambasada. Very dark brown-black body, lasting off-white head. Floral, herbal, bit soapy dry aroma, with the malty notes being primarily cocoa-like. Lean, dry taste, soft maltiness, the dark malts not being too complex, some floral-soapy hoppy touches, light phenolic notes. Not in the best of shapes perhaps.

Bottle at home in Alkmaar. Pours opaque golden with a thick white head. Aroma is sugars, peppery notes, some grass as well. Taste is light honey, candi, grassy notes, light phenols. Closes with a long lasting, dry and moderately bitter finish, grassy notes. Light bodied eith average carbonation. Maybe I should be turning to these dry, phenolic belgian pales more frequently?

Taste is malty notes (light honey and bread), then a lightly fruity, grassy, herbal turn. Closes with a moderately bitter, dry, grassy finish. Light bodied with average to lively carbonation.
