Description
In de schaduw van de Ichtegemse kerk ligt Brouwerij Strubbe, een brouwerij die al generaties lang behoort tot de familie Strubbe. De bierproductie gebeurt nog steeds op een ambachtelijke manier, zij het met moderne productiemethodes. Ook in het buitenland lusten ze wel een Ichtegems gebrouwen biertje. Een groot deel van de bierproductie wordt verscheept naar het buitenland waaronder Italië, Duitsland, maar ook naar Japan en zelfs Amerika. Het succesverhaal van brouwerij Strubbe is er dan ook eentje die leest als een echte story waarbij een grote passie en ongebreideld enthousiasme voor het bierbrouwen generatie na generatie werd doorgegeven.

25cl bottle from Noel Cuveliers. Amber colour, hazy with thin beige head. Some peppery hop, some sticky candy sugar aroma. Slightly peppery Belgian beer. Reasonable even if the malt is a bit uncultured.

Bottle, 5.5%. Sour white wine aroma. Cloudy yellow colour, sparkling with small floaties. Unstable white head. The flavour also reminds me of white wine, sour and refreshing. A lot like dry champagne. Low bitterness. Strange, but not bad.

25cl bottle from Noel Cuveliers, Abele. Deep ruby/brown colour with lasting tan head. Woody dry malt, tiny bit of sourness. Some sourness in mouth, but sweet candy sugar too. This leads to a sourish finish. Odd lemony deep malt flavour. A dubbel with a touch of lemony sourness. Sourness is definitely there, but offset by sweet malt.

I usually have a draught pint or two of this stuff every time I go to Hop Devil in NYC. Most recently had it on 1/12/07 there.
Frothy, stark white head is full and shows moderate retention, providing low to moderate lacing. Lots of carbonation in the clear, copper-golden liquid.
Dusty, peppery hops indicate some type of Saaz or Kent goldings, seemingly. Dry, not overly aromatic and only lightly herbal-grassy (very dry, yellow grassiness). Highly attenuated soda bread-like malt notes, carbonic acid and a very clean, mildly crisp yeastiness on the finish. Warming allows light honey, but it’s pretty few and far between. Little bit of cardboard/paperiness in the aroma as well.
Wet cardboard and paper are strong in the filtered, extremely light body. Seltzer water and some white bread with a slight bit of honeyish malts are the extent of the main flavor, with strong pepperiness from the hops. Light stints of bitterness provide a cleansing, crisp palate, but it could be 100 times hoppier and still not be overdone. Acetyldehyde present in moderate, but noticeable quantities, giving it that strong, blanding paperiness and light sour apple-like flavor. Highly carbonated, too much so probably. No alcohol evident.

A golden beer with a huge white head. The aroma is very sweet and quite spicy as well as a bit of dust from the hops. The flavor is very sweet with strong notes of fruit, peaches, and oranges, as well as spices. OK without being exceptional.

Hazy blond color. A gentle Ale, not bad but too simple, without enough hops. Refreshing.
