It was here, and now it's gone....

We did a clever.

Well, Rob at Rebel Brewing Co in Cornwall did most of the clever bit, brewing us a little diamond of a beer after we had a conversation about colaboration beers and Belgian beer in general.

Here's what 'Podge' from Chelmsford CAMRA and 'Podge's Belgian Beer Tours' Fame had to say about it (and this fella knows a thing or two about Belgian beers....)

"Very good label design.

Drunk at room temperature with full sediment.

Certainly a darkish beer with interesting aromas including some bubblegum, phenol alcohols and a touch of acetone and light pear dropy notes which lessen quickly. It is billed as 4.9abv but seems to have more taste/body than that The label says a wheat beer but it does not show these origins and wheat is not to the fore. Not over spiced, easy drinking and has lots of gobackability, ie you could drink more than 1 and therefore could be commercially successful.

"Dark spiced belgian style wheat beer" WTFIT I'd like to say true to the style but as there is no such thing this beer is not following a style..

Pretty good beer though."

We got six casks and a few cases of bottles from Rob in early May, and the casks sold the same day, which was pleasing. If you speak nicely to Steve you might be able to get some bottles, but to be honest he's guarding them pretty jealously and hasn't actually admitted to most customers that we have them.....
