Description
Brouwerij Hommeles werd opgericht door Jos Eberson, Jan Ausems en Kees Volkers vanuit het Houtens Brouwcollectief.
Met het collectief wilde de drie mannen de Utrechtse speciaalbiercultuur op de kaart zetten door middel van brouw demonstraties,
een lokaal speciaalbierfestival met alleen brouwers uit de provincie en door het delen van de geschiedenis van bier in de provincie.
Het charmante Utrechtse Bierbrouwersfestival (UBF) dat werd gehouden bij Molen de Ster in Utrecht groeide al snel uit tot een populair festival dat uit zijn voegen barstte, en verhuisde naar evenementenlocatie De Fabrique aan de rand van Utrecht. Ook was de vraag naar het bier dat door de drie mannen werd gebrouwen inmiddels zo groot geworden dat er een flink assortiment was ontstaan. Geschonken bij cafés en restaurants in de regio en verkocht bij verschillende speciaalzaken. Zo werd een stichting een BV, en werd brouwen serious business.

Since 22 december 2020 owned completely by Huttenkloas where also all the beers are brewed.

Bottle shared thanks to Deanso. Pours clear golden with a small off white head. Aroma of Belgian yeast, caramel, light banana. Flavour is over moderate sweet and light moderate bitter, very malty in the palete and not tripple like in this aspect. Medium bodied with soft carbonation.

On tap at Drie Dorstige Herten. Clear ruby copper colour, creamy off-white head. Aroma of dried red fruits, amber malts, sweet alcohol, some raisins, hint of honey. Flavour is medium-sweet, malty, amber malts, tiny bit of caramel, red fruits, some honey, good bitter finish, quite dry. Medium-bodied. Resembles a strong Belgian amber, and I'm not a big fan of those beers. This is a well-made beer nonetheless.

Bottled, BB Dec 2014, large sample. Clear golden color, short white head quickly diminishing until just some tiny lacing remains (in a glass that usually shows tremendous lacing). Aroma is spicy reminding of westmalle (westmalle yeast?), slight floral hop, hint of fruit (less fruity as the test or homebrew versions). Slight sweet taste, quite spicy again, hint of bitterness. Some fruity notes in the finish as well, but mostly dry. The fruit is not that present this time, but more the spicyness from the yeast itself.

Tap @ Drie Dorstige Herten. Hazy yellow to golden color, medium white head. Aroma of belgian yeast (ofcourse), so a bit spicy, but not too much. Quite fruity as well, some grainy notes. Slight fruity sweetness in taste, medium dry. I prefer Tripels a bit more dry; this one is a bit sweeter. But because the yeast profile is controlled, it is not a big estery mess like some others. Very decent brew, just not my personal taste.

Bottled from Kaashandel Houten, BB december 2014, large sample. Clear copper color, medium light brown head. Aroma of soft honey, some cookie, hint of raisin, some caramel. Bit sweet in taste, slight bitter, flowery from honey. The sweetness from the caramel blends nicely with the sweetness from the honey. Nicely balanced. I can understand why they served it as a bock (for a joke), cause it does have some Dutch bock characteristics :-)
