Sprong is a blend of wild ales, aged in oak puncheons (500L) for around 2.5 years, and a barrel fermented and aged saison type of beer. This saison was fermented in a large oak vessel and later transferred to oak barriques (225L) for another 6 months. Prior to blending the two parts together, the saison was slightly dryhopped for another 3 months. We've added a touch of Sicilian sage to the final blend to macerate a few days before bottling.

As you might know, we often cross the boundaries between beer and wine — and vice versa. In that sense, this wild ale is no exception.

We made a blend of several barrels of beer with different ages (1 up to 2 years old), which were macerated with different types of grapes — three in total: Olasz Rizling (white), Muscat (white), and a little bit of Kékfrankos (red). The concentration of fruit in this wild ale is high: 425 grams per litre. Read Less

Kriek is made with organic sour cherries. Our interpretation of this classic style is a blend of different wild ales varying from 1 up to 2 years combined with the cherries. The cherries where macerated and fermented in the beer for over half a year in a red wine foeder. We used 375 grams of cherries per liter of beer.

The cherries pop out in the aroma, together with a hint of cinnamon and almond. It’s a fairly clean aroma, with just a hint of funk. In the taste I find a lot of dark berry notes, fresh cherries, some spices and a touch of red wine notes from the foeder. The sourness is quite pronounced in this one, which mainly comes from the cherries. The beer also took up some firm tannins from the fruit. This gives the beer a nice dry finish.

Kriek is already good to drink during the fall, but this beer is also perfect to cellar for a couple of years to balance out the fruitiness and base beer. With a year or more of ageing, the tannins and sourness will be more integrated as well. Read Less

Franc is a wild ale with Cabernet Franc and a touch of Kékfrankos red wine grapes. After maceration with the grapes, we aged the beer further for another year and a half on a foeder that previously contained Amarone wine from Veneto, Italy. This rounded out the beer and gave it more complexity and depth. Before bottling we added a small amount of a comparatively younger beer with Kékfrankos grapes, to give the overall blend some freshness. It starts with a delicate aroma of fresh strawberries, cherries and rose petals, followed by the wine notes of the barrel and some funk. In the first moments of tasting the beer you will get jammy red fruits like blackberries, cherries and raspberries, after which fresh plums and roasted bell pepper follow. The barrel gives the beer a rich spicy, almost chocolaty and smoky flavour. Read Less

Oude is a very special blend of wild ales aged for 1 up to 4 years. Over 1/3 of the total blend is aged in oak puncheons (500l) for 4 years. We’ve never used such an old beer in our blends so far. This gives the final beer a characterful and complex taste. Another 50% is a younger beer of 1 years old which adds freshness, herbal and floral qualities to the blend. The remaining part of the blend is a 2 year old beer that acts as a bridge between the old and young. Read Less

Bitter is a blend of a saison and mature beer from older barrels. The saison is made with a good amount of hops. The resulting bitterness works well with the complexity of the older beer, that aged for 2,5 up to 4 years in oak barrels. In the nose you will come across vanilla, dusty cellar and some funk, but also a floral quality — think of lavender and chamomile. The more yeasty character of the saison, with a hint of black pepper, complements the more mature and funky characteristics of the older part of the blend. Taste-wise, you’ll find lemon zest, wood, and interesting herbal notes like sage and terragon. The bright acidity of the wild ale and the firm bitterness of the saison make this a refreshing, yet complex beer. The after taste ends dry, with hints of aromatic apples, like a good calvados.

Ca is a blend of different older dry-hopped wild ales and a saison. The different wild ales were dry-hopped in the barrels with NZ Cascade hops for almost a year. Right before bottling the beers were blended back with a bitter saison (30% of the total blend) to give some freshness and bitterness to the final blend. The hop-aroma is not overwelming but well integrated in the overall beer. Lively floral and orange notes with an underlying farmhouse, kind of dusty, aroma. It has a firm bitterness and balanced sourness. Read Less

A wild ale, refermented with raspberries, black currants and red wine grapes. Juicy raspberry notes accompanied by the more earthy and distinctive flavour of black currants. The addition of the grapes gives the beer some spicy and cherry-like notes combined with delicate barrel flavours from burgundy red wine barrels. It’s fruity, yet complex, dry and balanced in sourness. Read Less

Wijnig is a wild ale refermented with Hungarian organic red wine grapes of the variety Kekfrankos.
It is quite similar to our beer called 'Druif' but we used way more grapes in this one. In taste it is close to wine and has a good aging potential.
Notes of dark red fruits like cherries, minerality and some vanilla along with a balanced sourness.

We recommend to drink this beer right away if you prefer a lot of fruit or give it some aging if you prefer a more rounder and balanced flavour. Read Less

sprøng is a blend of mature wild ales, aged in oak puncheons (400 and 500L) for around 1,5 up to 3 years, and a barrel fermented and aged saison type of beer, which was dryhopped for a few months with Saaz hops. We’ve added Sicilian sage and also wormwood (artemisia absinthium and another secret variety) to the final blend to macerate a week before bottling. It’s a subtle addition we made compared to sprong, to add a slightly earthiness and spice to it. Read Less

We’ve employed various techniques to use wine grapes in this wild ale. From long-term maceration of the beer on the grapes, to adding our spontaneously fermented wine. This, together with the fact that we’ve never used this much wine grapes in a beer (approximately 625 grams per liter), results in a very wine-like beer with a lot of different layers in taste and aroma.

Lilly is a blend of different wild ales varying from 1 up to 2.5 years, refermented with a generous amount (350 grams per liter) of raspberries.

The result is an floral and vibrant raspberry wild ale which is perfectly balanced. Read Less
