WHITE BEERS (WHEAT BEERS - UN-FILTERED)
White or wheat beers are light, easy drinking, refreshing, unfiltered, hazy, yellow coloured beers from a mixture of rawwheat and barley malt, sometimes oats are added. They are seasoned with coriander and Curaao orange zest, have a fruity-lemony flavour and a slightly dry, spicy aftertaste. This style of brewing, typical of the region south west of Brussels around the village of Hoegaarden, died out due to the popularity of lagers in the 60’s and was revived and reinvented by Pierre Celis. Alcohol strength is between 4.5 and 5.5%.

TRAPPIST BEERS (BREWED BY MONKS)
Trappist beers are brewed by or under control of the Trappist monks, in the brewery located within the walls of their monasteries, according to the rules of Strict Observance, as laid down by the founder St. Benedictus in the early Middle Ages. There are only six Trappist monasteries in the world, all in Belgium, that can brew beer and can use the legally protected ‘Authentic Trappist Product’ logo. Each monastery has its own style of beer, varying in colour, taste and strength, so it is difficult to compare beers from different monasteries. They are all top fermented and bottle conditioned, medium to full bodied beers,with an alcoholic strength of between 6.2% and 11.3%.

GEUZE - LAMBIEK BEERS
