Day 103: April 13, 2015
Diary entry:
The start to one of the busiest work weeks I have ever encountered.
Kicking off all of the deliverables for the second quarter for my current project, finishing up all the final deliverables from the previous quarter at the same time. And to top it all off, time for the half-year budgeting process. Definitely been kept on my toes this week!
The Beer:
Name: Klets
Style: Belgian Blonde
Producer: Brouwerij Bier & Karakter
Alcohol content: 8.0%
Bottle size: 0.33l
Purchased from: De Hopduvel in Ghent, Belgium
Klets by Brouwerij Bier & Karakter. A decent Belgian Blond beer. Fruity aroma, with a rich flavor. More bitterness than I expected. Not bad at all!
Commercial Description:
Our first beer was named ‘Klets’ (Flemish for Talk). For us a homonym with a multitude of meanings that you can happily discover.
We chose to brew an amber-colored, complex high fermentation beer. It gets its unique taste by the use of four types of hops from Poperinge. It has a pleasant bitterness and flavor is usually described as spicy, spicy, slightly peppery and resounding until creamy. With its eight degrees alcohol arose as a character beer. Klets on 12/26/2013 was recognized as 100% West Flemish farm and regional product.
