COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTION
Oerbier means original, from the spring. This beer has been brewed in small scale (5 gallons). Oerbier is brewed from no less than 6 malts. Poperinge Golding hops in flowers and a special yeast which makes it a little tart, especially with aging. At the brewery we have excellent cellars which have a constant temperature of 8°C and allow Oerbier to age at its best. After a couple of years Oerbier tastes like it should have been blended with wine … Oerbier has been refermented in the bottle and contains a layer of yeast, having vitamins B. NAT en STRAF on the glasses means WET and STRONG, a warning for the 7.5 vol. alcohol content. The little person on the glasses is the Oerbier man, a simple creature who holds a brewers fork in his right hand, symbolizing the work and science, but looking to the other side, the result of all this, the glass of (Oer)beer. The artwork on the poster is a wallpainting found in Spain, (Altamira) and is considered by art lovers as being the best prehistoric art work (30,000 years BC). On the other hand we have Oerbier started in 1980, going on with the tradition. For more information on Oerbier's recent recipe history, see the following article: http://www.bunitedint.com/Products/de_dolle/oerbier-re_evolution.html

Jade (294) - AUSTRALIA - MAR 3, 2011
Poured into a trappist from a bottle. Beautiful hazy amber/brown with a magnificent head. Aroma is fruity, with a touch of something I know, but can’t quite place. Tart, fruity and exotic. A sour, yet warm after taste lingers. What a great beer.

Dark Amber with a full head and thick lacing. Taste is of whiskey and caramel, slightly sour. Heavy to drink, but one at a time is excellent.

This one is a cloudy brown tootsie roll color. It smells fruity and the taste is similar. The after taste is a little bitter and lingers on the back of the tongue. The texture is watery and thin.

On tap at Issac Newtons. A brilliant hazel pour with a dark sweet fruit and bread aroma. Yeasty, raisin taste with an alcohol and mild hop bite. A really amazing brew.
