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.

Bottle at a tasting. There is a pretty strong solvent off aroma and flavour, which mostly ruins the beer. Otherwise this seems to have been a pretty good beer originally, with a decent underlying malty complexity. Not good as is unfortunately. I would like to rerate someday.

330ml bottle [Cuvée 2013]. Minimally cloudy, redd-ish brown colour with small, frothy, half-way lasting, minimally lacing, off-white to beige head. Tart-ish fruity and mellow malty aroma, notes of cherry, morello, red berries, hints of plum and blue grapes, a vinegar touch, sweet-ish, caramel malty background. Taste is sweet-and-sour fruity and minmally sugary, caramel malty, notes of cherry, morello, red berries, a touch of blue grapes, plum and lemon, fruit and citric acid, dry oaky overtones, sweet caramel malty basis. Minimally watery texture, smooth and soft palate. Well balanced overall, fairly complex, maybe a tad too sugary sweet, but accordingly highly drinkable. Nice.

33cl from tap at Backdoor, Ghent (30 IV 2019), as Red Rooster. This appears to be the only house where you can get this Strubbe fruit beer. The beer colours dark red, ruby or unclear purple, and has a firm dark white, beige or even pinkish collar. The nose has different notes of malts, caramel, forest berries, candy. The mouthfeel gives likewise sensations. The beer has an overly sweet character, backed with some malt features, but overaccentuated with grenadine, sugary strawberry hints, blackberries, vague yeast hints, table beer, different touches of alcohol. The sugar is just too overwhelming, I'm afraid. The palate is unnatural, almost chemical.
