Silenrieux Joseph Spelt Ale (x2)

Two of the last beers from the Bruges trip.

5.4% 250ml version:
  • Name: Silenrieux Joseph Spelt Ale (5.4%), 5.4%, Belgium
  • Appearance: Cloudy, very dull orange. Sediments. Good amount of white head.
  • Aroma: Lemon and wheat. Some yeast and hops.
  • Taste: Wheat and citrus. Hops and spices. Not the best aftertaste.
  • Bought: Bier Tempel, 250 ml, €1.50
  • Overall score: 2/6
  • Info: 2/6-2008
5% 750ml version:
  • Name: Silenrieux Joseph Spelt Ale (Bio/5%), 5%, Belgium
  • Appearance: Corked. Cloudy, pale orange. Lots of sediments. Lots of white head.
  • Aroma: Lemon and wheat. Herbs.
  • Taste: Wheat and lemon. Some spices. Slightly dry. OK aftertaste.
  • Bought: Bier Tempel, 750 ml, €5.60
  • Overall score: 3/6
  • Info: 4/6-2008
I originally put these as separate entries as only one might be the Bio (Organic) version, and they also have different ABVs. In addition, they also taste a bit different. But in the end they are too similar to justify separate entries.
