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.

Hazy golden ale with a thick white head. Delightful frsh hops aroma, direct from the field. Intense hops and grapefruit in mouth, without the californian c-hops characteristics (not as floral). Very dry, with little sweetness, strong alcohol comes out more. Doesnt have the left coast edge, but it still took my breatha way. Excellent with the Herve doux, which brought out more sweetness to the ale. Bottle at Moeder Lambic, April 2005.

Re-rate on tap at Christian Firtal, December 2018 in fabulous shape. Cloudy golden with a lasting white head. Aroma of grassy, spicy and herbal hops, with a nice and clean touch of spicy Belgian yeast. Dry, herbal and grassy hop flavour with just the right yeast character and bitterness. Old school hoppy Belgian and just awesome. 4.2, just like my first time in 2005.
