Signature Ale

Brewed by De Proefbrouwerij
Style: Belgian Strong Ale
Lochristi, Belgium

Very foamy - a loose white head sit atop a cloudy orange brew. Smells very fruity and herbal, mixed in with a lot of funky notes. Lots of fruit and white wine notes in the flavor, plus more herbal notes. A really great brew. Sampled at the Raleigh WBF.

A nice and unique brew. Bottle from WBF in Raleigh. Deep golden amber pour. Hops and brett present on nose and in mouth. Fruity funkiness, too, with some scuppernong grape and apple flavors present. Hint of ash/smoke. Fizzy mouthfeel. Yum.

This stuff is amazing. Barnyard funk + hoppiness - the sour flavor. Quite possibly the perrfect mix of Belgian and IPA.

Orange, small white rim. Citrus, orange, alcohol and fusels. Fusels again, orange, candi sugar, apricot, and yeast esters à gogo. Very slick, oily, syrupy and in the aftertase, a little hops. Well. Seems they get the same results in Belgium...

Pours a mostly clear orange with a moderately bubbly head. Aroma is grassy and herbal. Flavor is tart and hoppy, with bubblegum, coriander and some estery character. Some brett in there as well. Alcohol is hardly noticeable. It’s a very enjoyable beer, with the flavors melding nicely into what I would consider a classic Belgian ale. Wonderful!

750ml. Pours a a bright, light orange color with a very compact, creamy, large white head. Aroma is nice and gentle, smooth and appetizing. Pears, apples, a slight zesty peppery quality. A little white wine characteristic, a little rubber. The funkiness from the brett is apparent slightly if you look for it but it is certainly subtle and you could mistake it for something else if you did not know the background of this beer. Perhaps that will change with time, however. Taste is bready, pretty fruity, relatively bitter for the style. A little leafy and plasticy. I haven’t had this beer before but from what I can imagine the hoppiness is now subsided and the funk is not in well enough effect and this beer is kind of in a in-between phase that makes it not that special. Not bad it just doesn’t stick out to me.

750, corked and baled. Pours hazy dark gold with a lacy pale yellow head. Aroma of tangerines and fruit with a touch of spice. Medium body and carbonation. Sweet peach, bread and citrus taste. Softly resin-bittered finish. Seems to leave me with a hint of perfume and funk. Interesting, but in a good way.

a hazy dark orange pour with a large fluffy white head. aroma of light citrus fruits and a touch of fresh green hops. flavor has notes of citrus(grapefruit), hops, peaches, butter and a touch of brett. light body and very refreshing.
