Belgian Beer

A ?light?, brown abbey ale with a deep colour with red reflections, chocolate, coffee and liquorice aromas and a touch of aniseed and white fruit notes. The first sip is full-flavoured, with a hint of acidity which heightens the roasted notes provided by the special malts. Malted flavours are prominent on the palate. The finish is particularly long, mainly acidic with a hint of sourness and a faint bitter aftertaste. Served cold, the spicy aromas will come to the fore, whereas when served at cellar temperature they give way to toasted, biscuit notes. Worth rediscovering again and again.

Floreffe Triple owes its name to its high density and strong taste. The splendid mixture between bitterness and caramel characterises this beer. Like other beers made in Floreffe Abbey, it is not filtered. It may therefore be slightly cloudy if served cold. As the monks' recipe specifies, it is refermented in the bottle with yeast and sugar.

Blonde with copper reflections, topped with a generous head, Hopus derives from a secret batch brewed for the marriage of Paul Lefebvre. It has a unique and original nose, a blend of vegetal, citrus and fruit notes. The attack is bold, with an intense bitterness accompanied by a plethora of hopped notes. On the palate, the fruity top-fermented aromas and the malted flavours perfectly balance the initial taste without masking it. The bitter aftertaste is persistent but not disturbing, powerful but not overwhelming, elegant but not opulent?in short, the perfect preparation for the next mouthful. Drink very cold as an aperitif with crisps and pickles, as an accompaniment to a spicy dish or as an after-dinner digestive

In this beer, 240g of mirabelles come to one liter of lambic. The beer shines with notes of ripe yellow stone fruits, pear, apple and citrus. The taste is characterized by a complex interplay between fruit, yeast, acidity and a slight sweetness.

Drie Fonteinen Golden Doesjel is blend of one-, two-, three-, and four-year-old lambic that did not carbonate, making it a doesjel (lazy) beer. It has been released twice in 375ml bottles. It is labeled as 6% ABV.

History / Other Notes

Golden Doesjel was first released in late 2013 after being bottled in April 2012. A second batch was bottled in May 2013 and released in early 2014. It is unclear where the four-year-old lambic comes from for these blends. The beer saw widespread distribution including in the United States and Canada. Both batches of Golden Doesjel would have been released as Oude Geuze Golden Blend had they refermented in the bottle.

Martha Guilty Pleasure (rouge/red)

Brewed with fresh sour cherry?s this high fermentation ale has a ruby red color and a reddish pale head. This beer has a scent and aroma of fresh marzipan with an explosion of cherries and raspberries. A play of sweet and sour that refreshes and charms with a very light bitterness that nicely balances the whole. It is surprisingly light and easily digestible for a fairly strong beer.

Duvel Single Fermented Belgian Golden Ale (ABV 6.8%) is brewed using the same ingredients (water, two-row summer malts, Saaz and Styrian Golding hops) as Duvel "classic" (in bottles) but classic Duvel undergoes a second fermentation in the bottle, while Duvel Single Fermented is cold filtered and, after 30 days of conditioning, packaged in kegs and cans.

Duvel Single Fermented is reminiscent of classic Duvel, but it has its own unique characteristics. Lower in alcohol (6.8% vs 8.5%), it's dry and crisp with mild yeasty citrus notes, and more hops on the palate than in the nose. The beer is carefully balanced so that hops play off equally with malt and citrus, and is intentionally not heavy or complex.

Pouring golden-blonde, with fine soft carbonation and a large head with good retention, the beer is transparent with no residual yeast. Aroma has subtle citrus notes, and a gentle herbal, green hoppiness. Light on the tongue, smooth, bright, and crisp, it's brewed with drinkability and refreshment in mind

The Saison Dupont biologique is a very thirst-quenchening beer with a outspoken bitterness and dryness.
You will discover a touch of citrus (especially pomelo) which even is a strenghtening of this thirst-quenchening aspect.
The long refermentation in the bottle ends up in a very complex but light beer.

5.5% ABV

Rich and complex, this tour de force is a glorious blend of elegant Belgian-style quadruple ale and authentic Belgian kriek, its malty depth and gentle sweetness enhanced by sparkling carbonation and a serendipitous touch of cherry.

Pouring a mysterious chestnut brown, Three Philosophers is the perfect beer for leisurely sipping and quiet contemplation.

The meaning of life? Even if you don’t quite get there, this beer is sure to sweeten the journey.
