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

Bottle (thanks to the semi-franconian bierkoning !) Hazy, mid-sized creamy off-white head; distinctive fruity, a bit vinous nose; sweet flavour, full bodied; drier, a bit chocolatey finish with a distinctive bitterness in the aftertaste. A well made, full flavoured brew !

Bottle. Pours hazy dark brown with a beautiful foamy head. Aroma sweet malts, spices and yeast. The alcohol is present as well. Good mouthfeel as the beer kinda explodes in your mouth. Flavour is dark fruits, spices, alcohol and a bit tart.

A hazy brown colored beer, with a big foamy beige head. The aroma of dark sweet malts, yeast, some spices and fruits. The taste of caramel, dark dried fruits and alcohol. Tones of nuts and yeast. A little bitter aftertaste. A very good beer.
