Signature Ale

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

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

Big thanks to Old Mr. Crow for this one. 750 ml bottle. The pour is turbid deep golden with 2-fingers of off-white head and great lacing. This one looks great. The nose is very complex; floral, spicy, malty, with white pepper, limey citrus, rock sugar, honey-dipped peaches, hops, cobwebby yeast, mild Bretty funk. Amazing aroma that I sniffed for minutes. The taste is floral, fruity, with spicy peppery hints, some limey citrus, hops, tangerine, Bretty funk, and earthy yeast. Stays semi-dry, and acquires more funky, spicy, yeasty, and peppery notes as it warms, while never losing the fruit and citrus. With a little age, I have no doubt this would be a perfecto robusto.

Bottle massive thanks to the cheeseman for this one, at home with mesandsim. First batch i believe. Aroma is bursting with Brett, like it basically just spells like Orval, small peppery character, floural and sharp. Its well tasty stuff, earthy hop softness with the sharpness of the brett makes it incredibly drinkable.

Pours out hazy golden ale with white creamy head. Nice fruity floral notes. Hoppy with a sweet slightly spicey finish. A very nice hoppy saison.

A Mes rate: bottle thanks to our Magic.
Bright cloudy orange with a superb thick white foam topping and awesome condition. Aroma... now that’s a BLOODY good smell. Incredibly fresh. A beautifully aromatic double serving of hops, fantastic herbs and stunning yeasty notes. Suf**kinperb aged Orval bretty notes. This is very very fine beer indeed. The flavour follows on in a similar vein to the nose and is equally adorable. Massive brett, incredible sourness, wonderfully dry and beautifully herbacious. This is really special. Drinks well below it’s strength. Perfectly balanced. It’s just brilliant. So very clear that this is brewed by an American in Belgium. I really am blown away. Awesome wooden notes in the finish too. I’m gushing I know but I really don’t care. LOVE IT!!!

What a brew. The perfect collaborations between West Coast American Brewing and Belgian Brewing. Nice hop profile good Belgian yeast charater. Bitter yet sweet. Excellent golded color with lasting white foamy head. I really enjoyed this,

Pours golden brown wiith a large head that laces around the glass. Aroma is belgian yeast, spice, resin hops, and some slight funk, lemon. Mouthfeel is thick but not overdone and nicely carbonated. This brew tastes like a hopped out belgian brew with some funk. Good idea. Wasn’t expecting it to be to hoppy but there is a distinct presence of resinous, piney hops in the backbone of this brew. The brett presence is subtle but present, and the belgian yeast is there but not too much which can be the downfall of so many other belgians. What is this brew? A Belgian strong ale? How bout’ a IPA-Belgian-sour? OK it’s not that sour, how bout just a Belgian IPA? Close but there’s more, Oh, screw it. Its a Belgian strong ale, and a damn good one at that.

750ml bottle, Thanks to The Beer God. Pours cloudy amber in color with thin white head. Aroma sweet, orange, spicey and hoppy. Taste orange, sweet, yeasty and malty with clean finish.
