Still at Paters Vaetje, but on a different day I hasten to add (!), we tried two beers – Boerinneken (beer no. 155) and Boerken, which thanks to Andreea’s translation is “the farmer”.Uniquely, one glass serves both of these beers, with the picture of the Boerinneken on one side, and the Boerken on the other. Whilst both are 9.5% beers, the Boerinneken pours an amber colour, with a hoppy fruity taste, and the Boerken a dark brown colour with a more malty taste. Not exceptional beers by any account, but still worth trying.
