Bottled@Fonefan. Honeyish golden colour, medium white head. Aroma is a bit non-sweet-gluelike, as well as some alcohol and some strange brrylike notes. Flavour is alcohol, yeast, melted rubber and some fruity notes as well.

Revolution! The first new beer from this antique brewery in at least 30 years! Orange beer with foxy shine; fluffy, just off-white head! Bit oppressive nose with malts, ambrée m., but also greenmalt, peanuts and a lot of coriandery typed citrus. Same taste, rather sweet-malty with both orangey and coriander-y flavours. Bit of caramel as well, strawberry jam. Bit sticky, near cloying but held in check by the citrus. Let’s not be too harsh for this first. If there is a future for this brewery, I’m all for it. Still, a bit of work could be done upon this one.

Hazy yellow-gold (cold haze?); fluffy dirty-white head, leaving shards of lace. Very grainy nose, straw, fresh yeast . Markedly sourish tang around corn flakes, (green)malt in the background; just a bit of sweet, bit herbal. Light bodied, but some grist slickness. Surprising pils. Sourishness is particular, but not off-putting. This ought to have a much wider public. The only small (pils!)brewery in Belgium malting its own!

Clear yellow color, just a bit lacing. Dry malty aroma, some horseblanket. Bit sour citrus taste, little bitter. Odd brew, but not too bad.
