From the Verhaeghe Brewery in Vichte, Belgium, this traditional Flemish sour red ale is matured in oak casks, it is smooth with a rich texture and interplay of passion fruit and chocolate, and a long, dry and acidic finish. It gives a freshness to the full malt taste and a pleasant hop bitterness. A very nice aftertaste which lingers. The final product is a blend of 8 and 18 month old ales. One of the better ones. |

Watou Witbier is brewed at the Van Eecke Brewery; a traditional brewery which can be found in the West Flanders region of Belgium. Dating from 1629, this brewery was founded by a noble family known as the "Earls of Watou". Spiced with coriander.The special yeast gives the beer a slightly acidulous taste. Possibly the best Belgian wheat beer. The aroma explodes out of the glass with bit of vanilla and lemon spice. The flavor dials things back a bit with dry bready wheat malts and sugary Belgian cream. All in all an excellent beer. |

Hommel Bier is brewed at the Van Eecke Brewery; a traditional
brewery which can be found inWatou in the West Flanders region of
Belgium. Dating from 1629, this brewery was founded by a noble family
known as the "Earls of Watou". Top fermented, using authentic methods
and three different types of hops. This style of beer is called a
"Streekbieren".
The overall flavour is quite bitter and dry ~ the spiciness lifts
it and gives the palate something to concentrate on. The hops dominate
throughout but there is a sweetness that comes through as you drink.
The finish is pretty tart, yet the aftertaste is fresh, a little spicy
and rather refreshing. |

Het Kapittel Blond is brewed at the Van Eecke Brewery;
a traditional brewery which can be found in the West Flanders region
of Belgium. Dating from 1629, this brewery was founded by a noble
family known as the "Earls of Watou". Top fermented, using authentic
methods.
Superb, well-rounded easy drinking blond beer. It's extremely refreshing
and easy to drink. A great thirst quencher. Lightly phenolic with
a touch of banana. A lubricating swallow of mildly sweet pale malts
and orangey-citric fruity hops with a mildly mineral, chewy bitterness
is closely ensued by a slowly developing wave of fragrant flowery
taste. |

Kriek is the flemish word for Cherry. Kriek (pronounced 'creek') is
a style of Belgian beer fermented with sour (also called Morello)
cherries. St Louis Kriek has big, bold sweet cherry flavour followed
by the tartness of real cherries and a light alcohol presence feeling
on the back end. While it is remeniscent of winery fruit juice.
Cherries occupy most of the palate sugar-sweet and fruit-forward.
Mouthfeel is medium-bodied, and smooth. A real sweet/sour finish with
sweet cherries and some almond. Overall not as sweet as some krieks,
and the cherry element is not artificial - very drinkable. Popular
with students. |

St-Feuillien Brune is a top-fermenting beer brewed with
extremely pure water. The spring is located under the brewery itself
in Blegium. Only the very best combination of selected malts are used.
A Dark Belgian Abbey Beer.
St. Feuillien Brune (Brune is Flemish for Brown) tastes of treacle
and bitter, lightly burnt woody overtones to the malt. The treacle,
while not sweet, develops into a velvety cloying coat towards the
finish, which is long, bitter and very fruity including figs and dates,
and finally fades into caramelly malt long after the beer is swallowed.
The malty bitterness, combined with the sweetening effect of the remarkably
complex spectrum of fruit flavours, make this a very well-balanced
example of an abbey-style brune. It is pleasantly and dangerously
drinkable. |
