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.

Citrus aroma. Citric, creamy hoppy flavor, especially in the aftertaste. OK, but not world class.

Opague. Apple aroma. Sugary sweet with roasted malt and a touch of lactic sourness. Apple dumplings. A minor Belgian classic.

Bottle: caramel, nutmeg, oak and cherry in the aroma. Oak, cookie-caramel and a very slight sourness in the flavor. Tastes OK but in no way comparable to Rodenbach Grand Cru. Lacks power, complexity, sourness and character. ( 6 3 7 3 13 = 3.2) Tap, Café Morshuis Albergen. Woody, somewhat dusty aroma with some fruit in the background. Upcoming light fruity sourness (cherries, grapes) challenged by some caramel, wood and a slight bitterness. Could use a bit more authenticity, but has a tremendous drinkability. (7 3 8 4 14 = 3.6)

Honey color, hazy. Honey aroma with citrusfruit. Creamy, hoppy citric flavor. Hints of detergent, yeast and honey. Thin to medium bodied. Not bad, could be better.

Bottle. Pinkish red color. Cherry and marzipan in the aroma. Sugary sweet (luckily not too sweet) but also cherry fruit, marzipan and even a hint of almond. Quite drinkable, decently balanced cheery beer.

Bottle. Dark brown color. Caramel and a hint of citrus in the aroma. Sweet flavor with molasses and a hint of tobacco. The sweetness hides the alcohol, but doesn’t make it a good beer.

2009 lambic, bottled 2011. Corked bottle. Golden color. Instantly disappearing head. Citrus, honey and oak in the aroma. Sour but well rounded honeyish flavor with citrus, oak and skimmed milk. Very well balanced, great geuze.
