Description
Team René bestaat uit vier gedreven vrienden: Koenraad Lerminiaux, Christophe Cieters, Timothy Van Ysendyck en Wouter De Bruycker.

De vier sterretjes onderaan het bieretiket staan symbool voor deze compagnie.

René, de schoongrootvader van onze brouwer Koenraad, ging regelmatig een boompje kaarten bij zijn broer Omer. "Om te kaarten moet je met vier zijn" hoor ik je al zeggen, en net daarom waren hun vrouwen -toevallig ook twee zussen- steeds van de partij.

Sinds jaar en dag dronk Omer tijdens het kaarten zijn bekende naambier en werd René onder licht ludieke dwang verplicht om ditzelfde bier te drinken. Toen Koenraad besliste om samen met schoonvader Patrick een eigen artisanaal bier te ontwikkelen, wou hij René het plezier gunnen ook een naambier te hebben, en zo geschiedde.

René werd geboren en de broers konden vanaf dan elk hun eigen bier drinken tijdens het kaartspel.

Bottle from Delhaize in Dok Noord, Ghent. Pours cloudy black (actually dark brown) with a big, frothy, dark beige head; slowly thinning; little lacing. Aroma of burnt caramel, brown rum, salted peanut, clove, licorice, cinnamon, prune & raisin, coffee pad, candied (dark) fruit & banana. Taste is light to medium malty sweet, quite caramelly, prune & raisin next to a (pea)nutty edge; light roasted bitterness - rather restrained - has 'generic' coffee pad & toasted bread before the spices pop up (clove, nutmeg, coriander perhaps); in the back, there's a weird, sourish, wheaty & soapy effect. Dryish, herbal hoppy finish, toasty with a note of coffee pad again, faint ash, lingering spices, to top it off some warming & not so elegant brown rum alcohol. Medium body, slick/oily texture, lively carbonation. Weird brew overall, not necessarily bad, yet falling victim to Belgian clichés again, trying so hard but failing.

22 June 2018. At Gerstenhof, Aalst.
Pours clear yellow with a big, frothy, white head; little lacing. Aroma of pineapple slice, banana, bubblegum, grain, yeast, hay, apricot, white bread, white sugar, soapy coriander. It tastes medium fruity sweet, hint of pineapple, and light spicy bitter (apparent coriander) in the malty & bready middle, adding yeast (banana & sugar) and whtie bread. Dry, grassy hoppy bitter finish, but overly spicy & yeasty, some warming spicy alcohol (gin or jenever). Medium to full body, creamy texture, fizzy carbonation. Stereotypical Belgian Strong Blonde.
