Brouwerij De Leyerth, or Urthel for friends

Another entry I don't think will be very long, for this brewers without owned brewery, that started making beer in Van Steenberge in 2000, and later at Koningshoeven - La Trappe. Strongly alcoholic beers is the perfect word to describe the three varieties I have tasted, but not boring, classical or bad at all. Personal, worked and special that can give good surprises, and according to the beers we like most, can have a good place in our beer memories. Let's go with them!

-Urthel Hop-it: Belgian Strong Ale, 9,5%. Green label, Urthel written in yellow, and red coloured Hop-it on a white back. A funny cartoon holding a beer jar, and in the back part a description, even in Spanish. Light golden beer, very clean, with a finger of white cream. Quite strong hoppy aroma, with some rests of the 9,5%, but not too much and leaving also some very smooth malts. In the mouth, thick as we could wait, with some right hoppy taste, but sharing the important place with alcohol and some sweet caramel. ore hop at the short ending.

QUICK RESUME: Dangerous, too nice that hides perfectly nearly 10%. I will repeat knowing this information

-Urthel Saisonniere: Saison 6%. Yellow label with the same old cartoon, Urthel letters are dark green now. Saisonniere is red, and on the back part the description, but not in Spanish this time. 20% of wheat in the recipe and some sugar, that made this beer winner of the World Beer Award 2010, being "Europe's best seasonal Ale". Looks like a blonde one, quite more dirty than the previous one, and with some more white cream, but quicker to fall. Citric, hoppy and light toasted aroma. Light in the mouth, quite fine for a Saison, citric taste, sweet points and with a very fresh ending.

QUICK RESUME: Very nice, to drink one and another without thinking.

-Urthel Samaranth: Quadrupel, 11,5%. Dark grey label, repeating the cartoon, with yellow and grey letters on a white back. This time, also in Spanish, we can read that the beer has some sugar. In the glass in dark, clean, with some golden foam very quick to fall. Toasted aroma with some alcoholic strong notes. In the mouth, thick one as can be expected, and with the first alcoholic impression, allows to taste some toasted notes, as coffee and tobacco, with some citric points after the hop. Rough ending with more alcoholic taste.

QUICK RESUME: Although the flavour it is not so strong as another quadrupel, it is a beer for some occasions.

And another entry finished with all the beers from this Belgian brand that I have tasted. See you soon beer lovers, keep beering!
