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.

Bouteille 75cl partagée avec Tomaz. BB 16/10/2027.
Léger pâle, col blanc crémeux avec un léger trouble sur la fin.
Arôme sur un parfum assez fleuri - houblonné noble, soutenu par une bonne présence maltée - pâle et pils, note herbacée au bouquet avec un relent de thym-romarin frais.
Palais sur un léger caractère malté surtout dans le pils avec des notes de pâle, point ede fleuri, finement herbacé qui reste tout de même présent tout au long. Sensation de thé vert tirant presque sur de l'aneth fraîche.

Deep Ellum draught, circa 2009.
Dark, not ultra dark. Clear. Large greyish-tan head, good retention.
Bit toasty with deep roast accents, cola and caramel. Excellent yeast signature with good minerality, cellar notes and plaster. No alcohol noted.
Some chewiness to the body up front but drying out quite severely with peppery phenol, light roast and toast becoming prevalent. Good de Ranke yeast character without too much crudity. Maybe a touch heavy on the toast/roast element but well-done.

Отличный саур, прям близок к ламбику, есть хлеб свежий, много дрожжей, кислота сильная, сено при этом.
