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.

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

Kolor złoty klarowny. Płyn przykrywa biała, wysoka, zbudowana z drobnych pęcherzyków piana. Jest trwała, ładnie oblepia szkło.
Aromat słodki, słodowy, owocowy (owoce europejskie), nieco ziemisty (kurz), piwniczny i delikatnie przyprawowy. Intensywność aromatu na poziomie średnio wysokim.
Smak: tutaj balans słodowej słodyczy i chmielowej goryczki. Przy czym ten drugi atrybut, z czasem i na finiszu nabiera na sile. Ostatecznie słodowa słodycz jest tylko tłem.
Alkohol dobrze ukryty. Wysycenie wysokie. Ciało pełne. Tekstura gładka, aksamitna. Posmak długi wytrawny.

0.33 l bottle from 'Etre Gourmet', bottled in January 2025 (already nine months old 😑). Hazy, golden orange with a medium large, frothy, slowly diminishing, white head. Sweetish, quite fruity-floral, gently grassy and slightly yeasty-spicy aroma of lemon peel, bergamot, lemongrass, light banana and hints of clove. Just slightly sweet, gently bitter, rather fruity-floral, quite grassy and a bit yeasty-spicy taste of lemongrass, bergamot, pomelo, lemon peel, white pepper, some hay, light banana and traces of clove, followed by a short, gently bitter, quite dry finish. Almost medium-bodied, quite effervescent mouthfeel, average carbonation. Great hop-forward Belgian ale: super fruity and grassy, quite dry, only slightly yeasty. Perfect summer thirst-quencher for the beer geek. Now I need to get my hands on the XXX version.
