Hoeve Bier

Bottle that I picked up either in Belgium or Carrefour, Calais, can’t recall. Consumed last week in Norfolk I struggled to find this on the database, so thanks very much to Joris pointing me in the right direction. The beer pours hazy amber with a slight orangey glow and a white head. The initial taste is a bit custard creamy biscuit, there is a sweet malty base and a hint of warming alcohol slips through. There is a pinch of nutmeg or cinnamon (I often get them confused) amongst the spiciness on the nose and also in the mouth. The nose also displaying some sweet aroma’s. There’s no denying that there is a sweetness to this that frustrates a little but its a decent beer. A6 A3 F7 P4 Ov13 3.3

Clear amber coloured beer with small white head and few carbonation. Spicy slightly hoppy aroma bit sweet fruiy. Full sweet palate. Finish is sweet hoppyending bit bitter and more dry.

25 cL pours dark gold, lacy off-white head. Nose has caramel, apple and pear esters. Tangy, peary sweetness with only faint bitterness. Gets a bit cloying. Very disappointing.

Bottle, 25 cl. (yesterday with Johan D. @ home, bought Willems) Almost clear amber color, with off-white head. Aroma sweet, little yeast, malts. Medium body. Taste sweet, spice, malts, some light bitterness and yeast. This beer is close to Trammelantje.

Bottled. Hazy amber with a small, white head. Sweet and malty aroma with light fruitiness. Some marcipan with alco-feel in the flavour. Lightly sourish.

25 cl bottle. Amber-coloured, hazy with lots of particles floating around, small but lasting, white head. Caramel aroma with alcohol. Flavours are predominantly sweet caramel, but with an interesting sour edge. Quite well carbonated, medium-bodied. Dry finish. An average good Belgian ale.
