4.2 AROMA 9/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 17/20
33 cl. bottle @ home. BBF 12/2014. According to the bottle: “Brewery “De Lelie” was located in Vosselaar on the Cingel next to the church. The company was founded in 1907 and taken over in 1922 by the brewer Jan Dresselaers. Latter his son Rene succeeded his father. They brewed quality beers of high fermentation of which “Pater” and “Paus” were the best known. In 1952 the production was stopped.” It appears that a local VZW (same name as the previous brewery) decided to restart the production of these beers and they are being contract brewed now by Scheldebrouwerij. The beer pours a bright apple Champagne golden with a creamy and stable white head. Surprisingly hoppy nose, citrus, creamy, almost sweet cornflakes in a good way, fruity yeast,… Taste is bitter, floral, hop forward, white pepper, thin yeast, almost saison-yeast, sweetness coupled, sugar, peel with some fruitiness, moderate alcohol… Lightly creamy and well carbonated – actually reminds me of the recent Delhaize Xtreme Hop series but much better. Lovely beer.
