Cluysenaer

Brewed by De Proefbrouwerij
Style: Belgian Ale
Lochristi - Hijfte, Belgium

Serve in Trappist glass, Tulip, Tumbler

My favourite proefbrouwerij brew. Fruity and sirupy as it is, there is a common element to all their beers that seems to have reached an optimal equilibrium here. Starts out very sweet but tender complexities cause for a long finish. One to take in large trusty gulps, a very pleasant beer to drink. Don’t believe the 7% though, you can easily underestimate this beer’s effects. Hard to find, even in Ghent.. I know only two places here that serve this one. All the better, I guess.

09/10/2010 from tap @ BLES beerfestival

Pours a clear golden to light orange beer, creamy white adhesive head. Aroma is meaty, smoky and with a hint of caramel and malts. Also some dead yeast. MF is ok, full body. Taste has fruity hops, some malts and a very balanced hop bitterness. Pineapple and caramel. Very balanced beer and interesting use of aroma hops. Aftertaste is dry but fruity with citrus notes. Very nice brew!

Bottle, 33 cl. (@ home, bought by Willems) Hazy dark golden, whit withe head. Aroma yeast, sweet, and a bit spices. Medium body. Taste hops, light coriander, sweet, good bitterness, flowery. Very nice brew !

Bottled, 330ml from Burg Bieren, Ermelo, Netherlands. Gold with white head. Good tropical fruity nose with a hint of spice, fresh & tangy and thankfully this follows into the flavour. Light and juicy fruit flavours, pineapple, mango with a light malty body and a yeasty smack. Very pleasant beer which I would love to try again.

At an slijterij in opmeer, bottle 33cl, hazy amber, full fizzy head, wow lots of fruits like grapefruits and orange, some grain and bitter, beautiful one and one of the favorites now.

Bottle. Nice overwhelming smell and well bodied beer. A good tast and a good after tast. Very enjoyable

Bottle from Bierkoning. Pours a slight hazed light amber with a nice good big off white head and good lace. Aroma is earthy zesty orange and mango citrus with a little earthy hint, some toffee malts, leather and musty hops. Flavor is light toasted malts, and has a slight weed- marijuana herbal kick to it in the aroma and flavor, some cracker cereal maltiness with lgiht caramel sweetness, then a citrus tart light finish with some mineral and earthy hops in the end. Good stuff!

pale colored, very yeasty bodied & hopped beer. has a enjoyable tast. long after tast welcomes to drink more. Again a nice product of the proefbrouwerij at Lochristi
