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.

Pours clear, golden . Medium large white head of low stability. Scent is very girardin like in terms of funk and wood. Grapes seem very herbal, citrus, green, spicy. Taste is malty, mild funk, wood, more fruity grapes than anticipated - juicy, citric, tad grassy but not nearly as herbal. Medium body with medium carbonation. Drinks very, very easy. A bit to the safe side, grapes aren't super pronounced or specific. Great as a drinking beer, but I'm not as amazed as I was from the previous white grape they've done.
