St Idesbald Brune 1/3L

Though the Blonde should have shown more character, it is the Brune that reveals the veritable character of the Saint Idesbald. Its volume of alcohol is more than correct at 8%, and it has a great many similaritieswith the old Flemish brown beers, that is to say sharp against a background of well balanced bitterness

St Idesbald Blonde 1/3L

With its low volume of alcohol of 6%, this is one of the weakest abbey beers. What emerges is a beer with relatively little dimension. Its taste is really very soft against a fruity background. It reveals very little depth in character, and does not develop at all in the mouth. Only a slight bitterness makes up for the thinness of the aftertaste.

St Idesbald Triple 1/3L

Very similar to the Brune, the Triple tones down the acid aspect with a touch of caramel. This impact is reinforced by a flavor that is also higher in alcohol ( 9%). It is easier to drink, but on the other hand its effect is more immediate. It cannot boast of its digestive qualities, but when it is served at 12°C, it shows its claws, and could cast a spell over you.

St Sebastiaan Blonde 7.6°-1/2L

As with many grand cru beers the extra maturation makes the beer stronger and smoother than the young beer.

St Sebastiaan Brune 6.5°-1/2L

Top fermented "crock ale" from the small Sterkens brewery near Antwerp. This is a complex beer with a perfumy aroma, dark and fruity with a malty taste. A good after dinner drink.

Tongerlo Blonde 8°-1/3L

This triple, which is naturally the strongest from the point of view of its volume of alcohol (8%), is both appetizing at the outset, and provides a total contrast with the basic characteristics of the Double. The first impression is a taste of malt and yeast, against a background of bitterness, which is cushioned by a very dry but powerful aftertaste. Its equally rich head does not succeed in hiding its alluring and charmingly intoxicating aroma. It is equally successful as a thirst-quencher, but is less effective as a digestive.

Tongerlo Brune 6°-1/3L

With its alcoholic density of 6%, this beer, which has a dark reddish-brown color, is full of panache. Creamy to perfection, it is well rounded from every point of view, with only a touch of bitterness. Its charm essentially lies in a long-lasting aftertaste, which is tinged with aniseed and fruity at the same time. At room temperature, it can also be sometimes soft and sugary, sometimes sharp. It is certainly an effective thirst-quencher, and is renowned for its generous head in a chalice shaped glass.

Triple de Bruges 9°-1/3L

A top fermented, full-bodied, real beer, BRUGSE TRIPEL owes its original taste to a subtle blend of top quality malt, aromatic hops and pure, crystal clear water drawn from the brewery's own wells. These ingredients are brewed slowly to caramelise the malt sugars which give the beer its unique taste.

Brugse Tripel is an amber-coloured, top-fermented beer which has a 9 % alcohol by volume. It offers a full malty taste and a mild, aromatic finish. It is served in the appropriate glass at a temperature between 8 and 12 °C.
