Belgian Beer no.342: Eulenspiegelbier

Same day. Same seaside.
The Uillenspiegelbier - the name alone! A strong 8% dark beer, with lots of brown spices and sugars. Nice. Strong. Brewed by van Steenberge.

Belgian Beer no.341: Viven Blond

Little day-trip to the seaside. New beers. Yey!
Viven Blond. I liked this beer. Blond and with some hints of honey and sweet malts (toffee?) - a nice clean blond beer. Brewed by the Brasserie van Viven (however seems it is brewed in the Proefbrouwerij) - at 6.8% on a sunny day too easy to drink.

Belgian Beer no.340: Florival Brune

Ha ha!
Here we are the Florival Brune, same brewery, same supermarket. This is a 7% sweet tasting brown beer - again nothing too special, but drinkable.

Belgian Beer no.339: Florival Blonde

Nothing too special to write about this one (I do wonder sometimes how far we'll go trying Belgian beers?!). This is a beer brewed by the Affligem Brewery for Delhaize (a Belgian supermarket chain).
It's a blond, 7% beer, with some flowery hoppy notes.
In the same range there is also a brown one, a tripel one and a winter one. Let's see when we get to those.

Belgian Beer no.338: Hopus

I keep coming back to Hopus. I absolutely LOVE this beer.
It's maybe a trendy beer for the moment ... I don't know.

Of course the whole gimmick about the glass, the yeast in the mini-glass, the double mat helps.

It's art: hop+opus=hopus
It's beer: five different types of hops.
It's strong: 8.3%

Depending on tastes you either drink it 'clear' and leave the yeast in the mini-glass aside, or you drink it 'mixed' with the yeast. Tried it both ways, prefer the clear version.

Belgian Beer no.337: St Sebastian Grand Cru

This is one of those gimmick beers. Sorry for the photo btw.
Comes in a fancy bottle. A good mix of fruit and yeast. A decent strong beer at 9%.
Can be found in the supermarkets here.
Truth be told, didn't get it ever since.
Brewed by Brasserie Sterkens.

Belgian Beer no.333-336: des Fagnes Beers

333: Saison des Fagnes, a beer I like, golden and creamy, 5.5%
334: Super des Fagnes Brune, caramel and cream, 7.5%
335: Scotch des Fagnes, spices and fruits, stro-hong, 8.5%
336: Super des Fagnes Griottes, fruity and cherry, 4.5%

Belgian Beers - New Look

I just realized we have been drinking beers for this blog (well .. ahem ...) for 5 years now! That is a lot of Belgian beers.

Hope you like the new look. Please, tell me - do you like the new look? I am in the middle of re-discovering the joys of social sharing (media) so all good. I might even get back to blogging soon, who knows? :)
