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.

8/10
Super easy, summery, a tad thin and watery with a nice light funk.

33 cl. bottle @ home, bought @ van Rooij.
Hazy golden with a small white head. Nice citrus hop aroma with noble hops like notes. Sweet bitter taste with a good bitter finish. It's giving me steam beer vibes which is a good thing. Nice beer.
