Description
Founded in 1784 by Jean Baptiste De Bruin and still a family brewery to this day; known as Brouwerij Schelfaut until 1919, when the name was changed to Brouwerij Bios by Paul Van Steenberge, who became the head of the operation in 1922. Currently operated by his great-grandson Jef Versele (since 1998). Underwent many technical upgrades and expansions since then, most notably in 2017 when new buildings were installed and production capacity was significantly increased.

8Oz Bottle Pours a cloudy orange brown, with not much of a head, but maintained some good lacing. Not what I was expecting for a cherry Lambic. Aroma is a very nice sweet cherry/apple. Just like a cherry lifesaver in apple cider. The flavor is very different. Sharp harsh, bitter. I’m not sure it’s supposed to taste lke this. Sour, vinigary lively carbonation, dissapointing.

8Oz Bottle Pours a very light sparkling yellow/amber. Flavor is of sweet peach and not much else. Flavor is not very sweet at all. Malt and grain, not very peachy tasting and kind of bitter. Sour. Not near the quality of the Lindemans lambics. As a matter of fact...I agree with the prev rater...not much like a Lambic at all. Aftertaste is bitte, fizzy and not very pleasant. My expectations were not that high...but it didn’t meet them.

Dark amber color. Too poor: just a bit sour, no sweetness, no character; quite thin, vinous, short.

Red color. Quite simple but enjoyable, with some sweetness deriving from the cherry syrup.

2008-12-28, bottle at Highlander, Parma, 7-5-7-3-13=35
Dark brown color with red shades; nice creamy head. Caramel aroma, alcoholic too. Medium body in the beginning, thinner later, with a strong flavor of mature caramel, light alcohol feeling, correct bitterness. Unimpressive.

Dark color, huge head. Mature aroma of malt and caramel, notes of roasted barley. Sweet and well malty, with a good liquorice touch; alcohol-warming; full mouthfeeling. Maybe too sweet for the most, but a good bomb beer.

An unclear pale yellow beer with a fantastic white head. The aroma is very fruity with hints of coriander. The flavor is very sweet malty with notes of coriander and yeast and a dry end. The flavor turns extremely yeasty when the yeast is poured into the glass.

A clear amber beer until You pour the yeast, which turns it unclear - it has an OK head. The flavor is sweet yeasty. The flavor is dominated by yeast but also contains notes of sweet malt and grapefruit. This is way too yeasty for my liking.

Lightly hazy blonde with a spicey and gum balloon aroma, with a touch of alcohol. Nice malt and hops combination with a pleasant alcohol warmth. Good bodied and balance. Ugly Pirate though. Merci a MT.
