Despite the sweetness it is not at all cloying, even thin, with little or no trace of malt. Finish is sharp and fruity . ABV 6%

3. Silly Saison 330ml Bottle

Its dark colour is due to the fact that initially in 1850, the barley was malted in the farm and it was always producing dark malt grains. Its taste is remarkable, light and favourably combined to offer a tone that is both modestly sweetened and fruity, leaving the mouth with a refreshing feel as is constantly asked of it. ABV 5%

Seef beer is an historical Belgian cloudy blond beer from Antwerp. It dates back to the 17th century (and is probably even older), making it one of the oldest existing beers of Belgium.It was the most popular beer of the Antwerp region, so popular that a part of Antwerp was even named after the beer. (Seefhoek) With the disappearance of the smaller craft breweries (due to big industrial competition and WWI), the beer and the recipe were lost. After a search that took over 3 years, the recipe was recovered, and rebrewed using the original ingredients barley, wheat, oats and buckwheat, Belgian Hops and historic yeast. The Antwerpse Brouw Compagnie was formed to relaunch this legendary beer.

Since its relaunch, Seefbier, with its accessible yet distinctive taste and aroma, has won the harts of many beer lovers, and has become one of the most rewarded Belgian Beers of the last years, with 7 times the title of Worlds Best or Gold on different international beer competitions, including World Beer Cup, World Beer Awards (3X in a row), Brussels Beer Challenge and Global Craft Beer Awards.

11. Leffe Brune 330ml Bottle

Dinant, 1240. In the heart of the Leffe district lies an abbey well-known among the village locals. One morning, the Premonstratensian Fathers that live in the abbey hold a meeting in the refectory on a subject that concerns all the inhabitants of Dinant: how can they avoid the epidemics that spread through contaminated water? After giving the subject some serious thought, the monks come to the idea to purify the water through a process they knew only too well: by turning it into beer. 
Before long, the inhabitants of Dinant have the pleasure of discovering a deep, dark brown beer, and thousands of pilgrims passing through are more than happy to sample the monks’ hospitality. Leffe Brown was born. “Leffe Brown’s soft, deep brown colour and the perfect balance between a discreetly bitter yet slightly caramelised taste can be ascribed to age-old traditions. Hints of coffee and chocolate provide this beer with an even more desirable flavour.

12. Hoegaarden Wit Blanche 330ml Bottle

500 years of hard work went into making this beer that features the aroma of orange peel, coriander and herbs that the merry monks imported from sunny Curacao.

And then there’s the soft taste, light and slightly sweet and sour and with subtle citrus notes… ah, just go ahead and taste it instead of reading about it! ABV 4.9% -
