Tripel Karmeliet

Blond, robust, smooth, and fruity three grain top fermented beer. Brewed with pride and patience after Karmeliet tradition with wheat, oats and barley. 100% natural. Has been brewed at Van Steenberge for Brewery Bosteels for some time until recently. "Karmeliet" is Belgian for "Carmel"... It's root beer and rocket fuel's love child. Highly carbonated, very nice head. Aroma vaguely smells of oranges, and coriander. The taste is sweet/yeast taste, and pressed oranges, with a perfectly balanced Belgian taste.

  
 
Duvel Green
Until now the renowned Belgian brand from Duvel Moortgat was only available as a triple fermented bottled beer, (twice at the brewery & once in the bottle). Duvel Green is fermented once to give a younger, lighter tasting version of the cult classic bottled Duvel. After brewing and first fermentation - which takes about 30 days - this beer is called "single-fermented." Typical Duvel flavors and aromas are already emerging, but the beer is lower in alcohol and carbonation, and the taste is slightly lighter and crisper. Duvel traditionally cold-filtered and bottled a small portion of this beer for sale, but only at the brewery. The beer was labeled with a green label, as the nickname 'kleine' Duvel (or 'Green' Duvel) was used to describe the beer taken at a young stage of the brewing process of Duvel. A small quantity of Duvel Green has now been made available on draft, here and at a few select places on the East Coast.  
 
Urthel Saisonniere

Hildegard has done it again.  Very easy drinking saison.  Moderate alcohol - 6%.  Bright, hop-spicy and refreshing.  Dry finish.  Yummy

  
 
Valier Extra

A Belgian IPA with a copious amount of hops in this most excellent beer.  A bit of fruitiness in the aroma from the yeast.  This finishes perfectly dry.  Pretty damn good beer.  6.5%abv

  
 
Hopfenstark Saison Station 16
One of my favorite beers at last year's Mondial de la Biere in Montreal. An excellent saison, they make 4 versions. Orangish hue, medium body and a great spicy finish. 8%abv  
 
Allagash White

Rob Tod's interpretation of a traditional Belgian wheat beer, Allagash White is brewed with a generous portion of wheat and a special blend of spices, this beer is light and slightly cloudy in appearance, with a spicy aroma. Overall, it is a beer that is very drinkable and smooth any time of the year.
