The BeerCast

For our latest podcast, we started off drinking beers that didn’t seem related – but by the end a very definite theme had developed. Two chestnut red ales, the second of which was billed as having hints of a certain yellow fruit, were followed by two that had very serious hints of the same thing. We’re not sure if any other beer website has tried a Banana special before, but we started ours with White Horse’s Dragon Hill (4.1%) from Oxfordshire – which admittedly has nothing to do with bananas. We then move on to one from our side of the border – Williams Red (4.5%), from the eponymous brothers based in Alloa. Our third beer moves towards the theme, as we sample Wells Banana Bread Beer (5.2%) from the Wells & Youngs Brewery in Bedford. Finally we finish on the ultimate beer for the flavour – Mongozo Banana Beer (4.5%), from the Chokwe people of Africa, via Belgium. This edition sees a joining of our two panels, as Andy and Jess jet north to Edinburgh to join Richard and Shovels.

1. Dragon Hill (4.1%abv)
White Horse Brewery, Faringdon, Oxfordshire.
500ml glass bottle

The White Horse Brewery are a small producer based in the valley of the same name in rural Oxfordshire. Faringdon is a market town on the edge of the Thames Valley, and it’s here that Andy Wilson founded his brewery. They attempt to use local produce as much as possible for their ales, such as White Horse Bitter and their fiery, aromatic Wayland Smithy. Dragon Hill takes it’s name from the small chalk hillock nearby, upon which legend has it St George did his noble deed to resolve a problem with a large reptile. It’s also near the Uffington White Horse, a 300ft long prehistoric outline carved into the ground that forms the company logo.

What They Say – “Just like Saint George making his stand on the Dragon Hill many years ago, this beer is chestnut red in colour, with a dry biscuit after taste and a hoppy finish. As the start to the New Year has passed, it is time to re-define those taste buds with this early season beer made with the finest English malt and traditional hops.” [Official Website]

What We Say…
Richard – It’s very dry, with quite a biscuity aftertaste 7
Jess – I can drink it although there’s nothing rich in the taste 5
Shovels – A bit like bottled Deuchars, it’s underwhelming 5
Andy – The John Major of beers – not offensively bad, just so middle of the road it’s without merit 4

2. Williams Bros Red (4.5%abv)
Williams Bros, Alloa, Clackmannanshire
500ml glass bottle

The family-run company started in 1992 by brothers Scott and Bruce Williams first produced eclectic traditional Scottish beers brewed to historic recipes – such as Fraoch Heather Ale, (first produced in 2000BC). In 2004 they took over larger premises in Alloa and formed a new line of beers under the brand ‘Williams Bros’ – Gold, Red, Black, and Joker. The last couple of years has seen them expand into many more brands, such as the excellent Midnight Sun and Good Times. 2009 has seen the affable brothers score four beers in the finals of Sainsbury’s Beer Challenge – Birds & Bees, Williams 80/-, Ceilidh Lager and Williams IPA, which are all seriously drinkable (particularly the IPA). However, for this episode we sample one of their oldest lines – Williams Red.

What They Say – “Williams Red is a rich ruby malt ale, medium dry with hints of toffee and banana. Balanced with fresh spicy hops to give a zesty peppery backdrop, Williams Red is a warming full flavoured beer to be savoured.” [Label Tasting Notes]

What We Say…
Richard – I don’t get toffee or banana, just general sweetness 6½
Shovels – As malty red ales go it’s the right side of the 80/- line 6
Jess – I would have liked it more if it was more bitter 6
Andy – Just a bit too much for my fragile taste buds 4

3. Wells Banana Bread Beer (5.2%abv)
Wells & Youngs, Bedford, Bedfordshire
500 ml glass bottle

Charles Wells was born in Bedford in 1842. At the age of 14 he left school and boarded a frigate bound for India. By the time he was Chief Officer he had courted and proposed to a woman named Josephine Grimbley. However, her father had no desire to see her married to a man who would vanish for months on end at sea, so Charles abandoned his naval career and decided to open a brewery. He found a site on the River Ouse, sank his own well on a nearby limestone hill, and got started. Today, following a 2006 merger with London’s Young’s concern they are the largest privately owned brewer in the UK. Their Eagle Brewery in Bedford brews many beers under licence, such as Kirin, Cobra and Red Stripe. Their flagship brand is Bombadier, and they also own an estate of over 250 pubs.

What They Say – “It’s flavour unfolds with a sensual sparkle and a smart crispness, which balances its aroma perfectly. Tropically fruity; its ripe banana flavour, emphasised by a hint of bitterness, comes from the addition of real fair trade bananas and finishes with an emphatic, steely dryness.” [Official Website]

What We Say…
Andy – For an odd beer with stuff in, it’s as good as it gets 8½
Jess – It’s like drinking beer and having a lovely slice of home-made banana bread 8
Richard – Bananas come through in the smooth aftertaste 7½
Shovels – Tastes like banana bread with a fizz at the end 7½

4. Mongozo Banana (4.5%abv)
Brouwerij Hughye Melle, Belgium
330 ml glass bottle

Several years ago, Henriqe Kabia’s mother had a problem. Belonging to the Chokwe people of Angola she would follow tradition by passing on her grandmother’s palm nut homebrew recipe to her oldest daughter. Trouble was, she didn’t have any, so it was Henrique that got the know-how instead. When he moved to the Netherlands in 1993, he decided Europeans should get the chance to sample traditional African beer. After a struggle, he teamed up with Jan Fleurkens and persuaded the Belgian Brouwerij Van Steenberge to let him experiment – and it proved to be a hit. Today Brouwrij Huyghe (of Delirium Tremens fame) produce Mongozo under licence, and there are five flavours available – Coconut, Quinua, Palmnut, Mango, and last but not least, Banana (based on the Masai drink mbege). Henrique was killed in a car accident in Switzerland in 2003, but the beer survives and is increasing in market share throughout Europe.

What They Say – “The word Mongozo means ‘to your health!’ in the language of the Chokwe people of Africa. Banana, as already indicated by the name, is the unmistakeable flavour of Mongozo Banana. The beer flavour only comes through in the aftertaste. It goes without saying that Mongozo Banana is the yellow colour of ripe bananas.” [Official Website]

What We Say…
Andy – It smells like you just opened a tub of pick n’ mix 5
Shovels – Should be called Monsweeto, a 3yr old would love it 4
Jess – No beer in it at all, it tastes like a fizzy drink 3
Richard – Tastes like colossally sweet banana cordial, it’s a poor excuse for a beer and just isn’t nice 1½

Panellists – (from top left) Andy, Jess, Richard, Shovels

BeerCast panel verdict
Wells Banana Bread Beer (31½/40)
Williams Bros Red (22½/40)
White Horse Dragon Hill (21/40)
Mongozo Banana Beer (13½/40)

As we’ve recorded fifteen BeerCast podcasts, we thought we’d try something a bit different for number 16 – so we hit the road and travel to London for a recording. Here we join up with Andy (of Andy and Jess), and BeerCast debutant Elliot – a committed trappist fan and Belgian ale enthusiast. As a result, he brought with him four examples of the type from UtoBeer at Borough Market, and we have a Belgian special in London. We start with a famous name – Chimay Trippel (or Blanche) (8%abv), before moving on to a naturally fermented Lambic – Mort Subite Gueuze (4.5%). The alcohol ramps back up with a 9%er, Delirium Nocturnum from the Brouweij Huyghe in Melle (sister beer to Delirium Tremens). We round off with another famous Belgian producer – as we try Duvel’s ‘other’ brand, Maredsous 10˚ (conveniently at 10%).

1. Chimay Blanche (8%abv)
Bieres de Chimay, Abbey Notre-Dame de Scourmont.
500ml glass bottle

Bieres de Chimay are located inside the abbey Notre-Dame de Scourmont, in the Wallonian region of the country. Since 1862 the Cistercian trappist monks have developed beer, which is still brewed on site. They produce four types – Rouge, Bleue, Blanche, and Doree. The latter is only drunk at the abbey, and is the monk’s own tipple. It’s so secret, no mention of it appears on their official website (apparently some are snuck out and sampled by lucky tasters). But we more than make do with the Blanche, a light coloured 8% abv beer that will hopefully go down as well as Chimay Rouge, which scored 60% in BeerCast#5.

What They Say – “Topped with a creamy head, Chimay Blanche gives off a light fruity apricot aroma. It’s taste, which imparts a silky sensation to the tongue, is made refreshing by a light touch of bitterness. To the palate, the taster perceives a pleasant astringency which complements the flavour qualities of this beer very harmoniously.” [Official Website]

What We Say…
Richard – Nice and fruity with typical trappist bitter alcohol taste 8
Elliot – A lovely beer, would be perfect as an evening drink 7
Andy – Smells like an alcoholic banana and walnut cake 6

2. Mort Subite Gueuze (4.5%abv)
Kobbegem Brewery (for Alken-Maes), Pajotten.
500ml glass bottle

Mort Subite – ‘Sudden Death’ – takes it’s name from a Brussels bar which was originally called Le Cour Royale. Bankworkers drinking there often had to cut short their lunchtime dice games, shouting out that the one final throw was winner takes all ‘Mort Subite!’. Eventually the bar became renowned for this, and was renamed accordingly. The beer – a spontaneously fermenting lambic – comes from Kobbegem, one of the umbrella of producers owned by the Alken-Maes group (who in turn are owned by Scottish and Newcastle).

What They Say – “Mort Subite Gueuze is a spontaneously fermented lambic of malt, wheat and hops. Ripened in oak wooden barrels, it is an amber-coloured, crisp sour-sweet thirst quencher.” [Official Website]

What We Say…
Elliot – Easy drinking, this would get people into Belgian beers 7
Richard – Very sharp with a cidery acidity that gets too much 6
Andy – Pleasant enough but without a distinctive taste to it 5

3. Delirium Nocturnum (9%abv)
Brouwerij Huyghe, Melle.
330ml glass bottle

The prolific and hardworking Brouwerij Huyghe turn out an enormous range of beers, of every possible style (from Belgian sour ales to Coconut beer). They are best known for Delirium Tremens, the ceramic-effect bottled beer with the famous pink elephants (which mustered a controversially disappointing 40% in BeerCast#6, back in October). A stronger, darker stablemate of D.T., D.Nocturnum comes in the similar faux ceramic bottle – but it tastes very different. Will our panel go for this, or consign the Huyghe concern to another poor mark from the BeerCast (and if so, will they care)…?

What They Say – “Elle est à la fois forte en goût, amer d’écorce et de houblon, ainsi qu’en saveur alcoolisée. Son évaluation finale n’arrive qu’en fin de dégustation, avec une prolongation assez longue de son amertume. Chaude et veloutée, elle plait généralement au vrai connaisseur, mais ne la prive pas de découverte auprès des curieux pionniers de bières de caractère.” [Website Officiale]

What We Say…
Richard – Big upfront taste then trails off to molasses sweetness 8
Elliot – One of the best dark Belgians, comforting, warming finish 7
Andy – Total opposite of the last one, not sharp or cidery at all 6

4. Maredsous 10˚ (10%abv)
Duvel Moortgat Brewery, Puurs.
330ml glass bottle

Brouwerij Duvel Moortgat started up in 1871, and are world famous for their flagship beer – Duvel (Flemish for devil). But in 1963 they started another brand under license of the monks of Maredsous Abbey, a benedictine monastery at Denee near Namur. The eponymous brand on behalf of the monks features a blonde (Maredsous 6˚), a bruin (8˚), and today we sampled the hefty tripel (10˚). It’s impossible to write a Belgian beer post without mentioning the late, great Beer Hunter Michael Jackson – and he was particularly fond of these beers – “These [Maredsous] have long been my favourites. Above all the 10° is an especially tasty beer.”

What They Say – “Dark blond Maredsous triple with 10% alcohol content is characterised by a fine, almost festive sparkle. Sour, sweet and bitter flavours melt together harmoniously in a full fresh flavour with a sweet aftertaste. Its gastronomic bouquet of flavours makes this triple an appreciated ingredient in the kitchen.” [Official Website]

What We Say…
Richard – Heady marzipan alcohol taste to it, this is really nice 8
Andy – The more I drink the more I like it 7½
Elliot – Warm and heavy and not as fruity as other trappists 7½

BeerCast panel verdict

Maredsous 10˚ – 23/30
Chimay Blanche (Trippel) – 21/30
Delirium Nocturnum – 21/30
Mort Subite Gueuze – 18/30

For the 6th edition of the BeerCast podcast, we stay in the divided lowlands of Belgium, and sample four more beery delights from Flanders and Wallonia. After the success of Episode 5 we continue on the fruity theme with Brouwerij Huyghe’s famous Früli strawberry beer (4.1%), and discover why a certain East Midlands town has taken it to heart. Then we move on to western Flanders for Rodenbach Grand Cru (6.0%) – a beer the entire panel wholeheartedly agree on – before sampling one of the most discussed ales in the world – Delirium Tremens (8.5%). Finally we pop southwards and try one from Wallonia – Trappistes Rochefort 10° (11.3%), the strongest beer ever tested on the BeerCast. For this episode, Shovels and Richard are joined by podcasting debutant John, another of the panellists lucky enough to have visited the country in question. But will this edition bring back any good memories for him?

1. Früli Strawberry Beer (4.1%abv)
Brouwerij Huyghe, Melle.
250ml glass bottle

Made with 70% white beer and 30% fruit juice (either strawberry or cranberry, depending on the variety), Früli is one of Belgium’s fruit beer success stories. Produced by the Brouwerij Leon Huyghe in the eastern Flanders town of Melle, it is exported all over the world, and the Strawberry Früli won a gold medal at the 2004 International Beer Competition. It has an enthusiastic unofficial fan club, who have developed Früli pub crawls in towns and cities with more than one bar that serve it on tap. Two of these routes can be found in Leicester, the unexplained centre of the British Früli universe.

What They Say – “Früli is smooth, well-rounded and packed with natural fruit flavour. It is sweeter than ordinary beers, with just a hint of bitterness and a little citrus zest that balance out the palate.” [Fruli.com] “A strawberry smoothie, with bite.” [Time Out Magazine]

What We Say…
Shovels – Doesn’t taste much of beer but it’s really alright 7
John – This reminds me of a spritzer, like a fizzy strawberry wine 7
Richard – Not as bad as many other fruit beers 5

2. Rodenbach Grand Cru (6%abv)
Palm Breweries, Roeselare.
330ml glass bottle

Beer and wine don’t have that much in common – but the ‘red ales of Flanders’ are known as the ‘Burgandies of Belgium’. The most renowned of these is Rodenbach Grand Cru. Made with a complex mixture of 20 different strains of yeasts, and four malts, Grand Cru is possibly an acquired taste – the official website describes it as “a tart beer whose flavour may startle the uninitiated.” Someone very much initiated was the late beer writer Michael Jackson, who named this as one of his favourites in the world. But will our panel be able to handle the tartness of this special ale, or will more work be needed to fully appreciate it?

What They Say – “Rodenbach Grand Cru has a gentle sour taste, characterised by a fruity and very refreshing aftertaste. It has a willful character and typical soft sour taste for which it is known and loved.” [official website] “It’s the most refreshing beer in the world.” [Michael Jackson, the BeerHunter]

What We Say…
Shovels – Winey and intense, and in no way refreshing 1
John – It tastes like Worcester Sauce! This is terrible 1
Richard – Are we drinking one that’s off? It’s just awful 1

3. Delirium Tremens (8.5%abv)
Brouwerij Huyghe, Melle.
330ml glass bottle

Another offering from the prolific Brouwerij Huyghe is Delirium Tremens, a beer that would win a ‘best dressed’ contest hands down. A fake-ceramic bottle (it’s really painted glass) with a label featuring pink elephants and dancing crocodiles, DT (named after the unpleasant alcohol side-effect) was also a firm favourite of the BeerHunter Michael Jackson. Others too, as it was named best beer in the world in 1998. Formulated on Boxing Day 1989, when a strong pale ale was created at the Melle brewery with three strains of yeast, the abv of 9% caused a few shaking side-effects at first tasting. The euphamism of seeing pink elephants served as a useful logo for the beer, then the brewery as a whole, and now a successful cafe in Brussels (the Delirium Cafe), serving over 2000 ales on the premises.

What They Say – “The first sip warms my throat and belly like an old woodstove does a log cabin. It’s lightly hopped and surprisingly malty for such an airy, sunshiny beer. The aftertaste is fruity, almost cherry. This beer must be sipped slowly so you can revel in each sweet drop. DT has a big body, a rich mouthfeel, and a long sweet aftertaste.” [beer writer Stuart Kallen]

What We Say…
Richard – Fizzy, it overflows in the mouth when you drink it 5
John – Dry and chalky, it hides the alcohol well – it’s not bad 4
Shovels – Like a strong Hoegaarden, it’s going down too slowly 3

4. Trappistes Rochefort 10° (11.3%abv)
Abbey Notre-Dame de Saint Remy, Rochefort.
330ml glass bottle

“Some find the high alcohol content to be disagreeable” says the official website for the trappist abbey at Rochefort, with typical Belgian understatement. Trappistes Rochefort 10° is the strongest of the three hearty beers produced by the fifteen or so monks who live there – the others being 6° and 8° (at 7.5% and 9.2%abv respectively). Since 1595 the holy men on site have been working to brew great beers – and all with some secrecy, as the site is not open to the public, and all financial gains from sales are put towards the upkeep of the Abbey. Our final Belgian beer on this two-part podcast is the strongest beer yet for our tasters, but will it be a worthy send-off as we move onto pastures new next time?

What They Say – “Dark colour, full and very impressive taste. Strong plum, raisin and blackcurrant palate, with ascending notes of vinousness and other complexities. Reddish brown in colour, with a very compact head and an aroma of figs, it feels like honey in the mouth. The alcohol profile is a major component in the flavour of this rich ale.” [official website]

What We Say…
John – Like a barley wine on steroids, would be great in winter 7
Richard – All kinds of things going on, and it keeps developing 6
Shovels – Plum and raisin tastes, but it’s a bit overpowering 4

BeerCast panel verdict

Früli Strawberry Beer – 19/30
Trappistes Rochefort 10° – 17/30
Delirium Tremens – 12/30
Rodenbach Grand Cru – 3/30

After four consecutive British-based podcasts, the BeerCast blasts over the constrains of the channel and into Europe. Arguably the finest brewing nation in the world (certainly per capita of population), Belgium is a beer-lover’s dream. As such, it was a natural choice to be the first pit-stop on the global beer circuit. This episode, our podcast studio is swelled by the presence of Andy and Jess (this time not via wires and cables, actually in person), having just come back from an adventure in Brussels. We try two fruity beers, and then two dark trappist ales – with varying results. Join us next time for more Belgian escapades with another podcast debutant. Until then, on with the show…

1. Timmerman’s Peche Lambic (4%abv)
Timmerman’s Brewery, Itterbeek.
330ml glass bottle

Timmermans have been brewing traditional lambic ales in the town of Itterbeek for over 150yrs, since 1781. They are now owned by the congolmerate Anthony Martin, but still produce old fashioned ales. A Lambic is a distinctive Belgian style of beer where instead of the usual introduced brewer’s yeast, the beer is left to ferment naturally over summer in giant open-air vats, exposed to wild airborne yeast. This gives the beer a distinctive dry, cidery, sour taste. All Lambic beers are produced in the Senne Valley, within 15km of the Belgian capital. Scientific tests have identified 86 different micro-organisms in a single beer. However, many of the key yeasts are understood to reside in the timber fermenting vessels rather than waft in on the breeze.

What They Say – “Timmermans Peche is a sweetened Lambic with added peach juice (14%). Only the juice is used, as the stone of the fruit is too bitter and would change the taste significantly. For best results, this beer should be drunk from a champagne tulip flute.” [Timmerman's Official website]

What We Say…
Andy – If I watched cricket, which I don’t, I would watch it whilst drinking this 8
Shovels – Sweet and it doesn’t really taste like a proper beer 5
Jess – I wouldn’t stick to this all night, it’s too much 4
Richard – All I can taste are peaches and sugar 4

2. Liefman’s Kriekbier (6%abv)
Liefman’s Brewery, Oudenaarde.
330ml glass bottle

Known as the ‘Pearl of the Flemish Ardennes’, Oudenaarde is a town in northwest Belgium. Liefman’s are one of the area’s many breweries, and at over 300yrs old, have a long history. They produce a range of fruit and wheat beers, but are perhaps most famed for their paper-wrapped kriekbier – a traditional Belgian beer fermented with Morello cherries. Made once a year in July when the cherry harvest takes place, they are dumped into casks of a year-old sour brown ale called Goudenbrand (similar to a lambic), and left to ferment for as long as six months. The resulting brew is bottled, wrapped, and shipped around the world. An acquired taste, it packs a real sweet and sour punch.

What They Say – “Kriekbier is quite sharp on the nose, with obvious cherries, some banana. In the mouth it is rather winey, with sour cherries and touches of bubblegum. The tart fruit is very mouth puckering, and is quite lively on the back of the throat.” [The Oxford Bottled Beer Database].

What We Say…
Richard – At least this is a bit nicer than the peach 5
Shovels – I’m no fan of sweet beer, and I don’t like cherries 3
Jess – I can’t drink it without my face screwing up 2
Andy – This one smells like a farm, and lingers everywhere 2

3. Chimay Rouge (7%abv)
Chimay Trappist Brewery, Chimay.
330ml glass bottle

‘Bieres de Chimay’ are located inside the abbey Notre-Dame de Scourmont, in the Wallonian municipality of Chimay, Southern Belgium. Since 1862 the Cistercian trappist monks have developed beer, which is still brewed on site. According to their website – “The monks carry out their work with the same concern for perfection that they strive for in their life of prayer and study, so over the course of time brewing has become a true art.” Chimay produce four beers – Rouge, Bleue, Blanche, and Doree. The latter is only drunk at the abbey, and is the monk’s own tipple. It’s so secret, no mention of it appears on their official website. Very, very rarely a bottle is spirited out and finds it way for sale – but not for us, as we made do with the Rouge.

What They Say – “Topped with a creamy head, Chimay Rouge gives off a light fruity apricot aroma. It’s taste, which imparts a silky sensation to the toungue, is made refreshing by a light touch of bitterness. To the palate, the taster perceives a pleasant astringency which complements the flavour qualities of this beer very harmoniously.” [Chimay Brewery]

What We Say…
Richard – This is such a nice beer, I like it a lot 8
Jess – Sour without sweet works, I would drink this 7
Shovels – Good bouquet, caramelly at the top of the mouth 6
Andy – Too bitter, quite strong, not my thing 3

4. Verboden Vrucht (8.5%abv)
Hoegaarden Brewery, Hoegaarden.
330ml glass bottle

Verboden Vruct – Le Fruit Defendu – Forbidden Fruit – call it what you will (and all three names are on the bottle), it’s a strong dark ale brewed by the massive Brouwerij de Kluis, Hoegaarden – one of the most famous names in world brewing. Founded in 1965 by Belgian milkman Pierre Celis, who, frustrated at the last traditional brewery in Hoegaarden closing, decided to revive the style and set up production in his hay loft. Sadly a fire in 1985 meant the brewery could only continue with aid from the Belgian national giant Interbrew (now InBev). Their increasing input frustrated Mr Celis, and he eventually sold out to them and moved to Texas to start brewing traditional Belgian beer there. InBev are the worlds largest beer producer, with sales in 2006 in 130 countries, worth €13bn.

What They Say – “Forbidden Fruit is a complex beer with a mixture of malts and spiced with coriander. It is deep red in colour, rich, sweet, malty, and full bodied.” [InBev website]

What We Say…
Jess – I like it, but I have to find out why 8
Richard – If it was half the abv I’d drink it all the time 7
Andy – Smoother and less intrusive than the Chimay 6
Shovels – This one sneaks up on you and goes ‘there I am’ 5

BeerCast panel verdict

Hoegaarden’s Verboden Vrucht – 26/40
Chimay Rouge – 24/40
Timmerman’s Peche Lambic – 21/40
Liefman’s Kriekbier – 12/40
