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.

A old review from Feb 2017 - A 330ml bottle brought back from Belgium 18 months ago & stored in my cellar. Pours a cloudy amber colour with a big creamy off white head. Aromas of citrus & sweet malt. Tastes of citrus, pear, apricot, pineapple, wheat, nutmeg, cloves & sweet malt. The aftertaste is malty with hints of spice towards the mildly bitter finish.

Old rating from 07-11-16 - 330ml bottle brought at the Noel Cuvelier farm beer shop just over the Belgium border near Poperinge. It pour's a golden colour, slightly murky with gentle carbonation & small white frothy head. Aromas of citrus with hints of pepper as well as of spearmint, dandelion and calcium. Medium body. The taste has a sweet mild citrus approach with expansive and lush carbonation, turning into a medium bitter and fairly alcoholic finish.

From Spar, Ostend. Cuvée 2022
Dark red colour. Aroma is sour cherry and grapes. A bit like a Lambrusco.
Flavour is a soft balsamic vinegar, sour cherry. Some shy wooden notes mainly in the final . Left a warmer feeling than I would expect.
Nice one

Bottled from 124 rabbit club. Poured a dark brown with little head. Not very sour for a sour ale but I liked it.

330ml bottle @ L'Ecole Buisonierre, Godwaerswalde, breaking up an E-bike ride to and from Mont Des Cats (My first, and only E-bike ride, for some time I hope!). Pours a bright gold with a fine mist, proud pure white head filling the remainder of the glass. Vibrant triple nose, floral, fruity, yeasty in the right proportions. Great initial sip, bright, flavoursome, very well-balanced, excellent triple character with a light spicy nod on the finish. It's moderate strength didn't seem to hinder things, in fact if I had another half hour free I would've had another. Very enjoyable.
