Description
A stone's throw from Middelkerk beach, you will find the JUS DE MER brewery of 2 beer enthusiasts Bart Mortier and Alexander Verlinde. Their passion for beer brought them together in October 2014. There was plenty of experimentation in the garage for 3 years. The first brew of 20 liters saw the light of day in the fall of 2014. Every month, the recipe was changed on Sunday until Alexander and Bart were 100% satisfied with the result.

Bottle from Dranken Vandewoude and drunk at home. Dark brown beer lasting tan head. Malty fruity aroma. Ale yeast esters. Some brown malt. Mostly dark fruits like dates and dark plums. OK. Mid something Belgian dubbel. Does what you expect. The dark fruit is decent.

Bottle from Dranken Vandewoude and drunk at home. Hazy amber gold colour lasting white head. Light tangerine aroma. Some yeast. Weird. A little manure in mouth flavour. Definitely a bit odd. Something like a triple but only vaguely. I mean odd.

On tap in some random bar seating on the sea front in Middelkerke on 11th September 2022, so it hadn't travelled far. Nice, easy going Blonde/Tripel, mini-haze to the golden body, deep white head; looked good in it's own glass with the sun beating down on us. Yeasty, slightly spicy and tasty, liked it.

Bottle picked up in Delhaize, Diksmuide and consumed at Mums, Kempsey nr Worcester in the company of Mum, Keith, Lynn and Barry, Saturday 14th May 2022 . Pours dark chocolate brown in colour, murky with a light beige foam. Fruity, chocolate and caramel laden nose, with molasses. Taste is more of the same, more chocolate led perhaps, some dark, sticky dried fruit, tasting a touch sweet, it's ok but not particularly memorable.

Bottle picked up in Delhaize, Diksmuide and consumed at Mums, Kempsey nr Worcester in the company of Mum, Keith, Lynn and Barry, Saturday 14th May 2022 . Pours light amber with a good sized white head. Aroma is a peppery and hoppy with a spiciness. Taste is similar, little more bitterness than expected, some citrus, a little clove, honey and fruity underpinning the maltiness. Not bad but a little bit unbalanced.

Bottle. Bier Huis, Ossett. Faint haze on a pale amber. Lovely dense white foam is lasting and semi lacing. Nose has peppery hop leaf. Stewed tea. Fruited bread. Taste is a little sweet, with a peppery, spicy leaf bitterness. Smooth and easy drinking. Fine carbonation. Slightly warming. Spicy hop finish. Kind of beer I’d happily drink multiples of, in a Belgian neighbourhood bar.
