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.

Looks and aroma are as they should be. The palate struck me as a little weak compared to a Hoegaarden and there was a bit too much spice/coriander in it for my taste.

Reddish brown colour, big head that sinks rather quickly. Yeasty wheat-aroma. Surprisingly light mouthfeel! Malty,dry and somewhat sweet flavour. The alcohol adds some spice. This beer wants to be complex but ends up feeling rather unbalanced.
