Kasteel Tropical Exotic Fruit Ale (4-can pack)

Kasteel Tropical Exotic Fruit Ale 16.9 oz can Brewed by: Browerij Van Honsebrouck NV Country: Belgium Style: Fruit Beer ABV: 7% BeerAdvocate.com rating: not rated Kasteel Tropical Exotic Fruit Ale from the Van Honsebrouck Brewery is a fresh specialty beer with a vibrant yellow color. The nose is a tropical scent, mostly of passion fruit. The taste is an intense flavor of fresh tropical fruit with a slightly sweet pineapple note and the full flavor of mango and peach, perfectly balanced with the fresh acidity of passion fruit.  The tropical flavors linger subtly in the dry, slightly bitter aftertaste. A taste of paradise! Pairings: White fish and poultry Brewery Information: The Van Honsebrouck Brewery (makers of Kasteel beers) began as a small farm and brewery on the outskirts of Ingelmunster in the West Flanders region of Belgium. Purchased in 1900 by husband and wife Emile and Ludovica Van Honsebrouck and expanded in the 1930s by their two sons, major success would elude the brew farm until the 1950s when grandson Luc Van Honsebrouck took over the business. Educated at the brewing schools of Ghent and then gaining practical experience at a large German brewery, Luc would change the direction of the family business by breaking with tradition and concentrating on the production of high quality specialty beers. His vision proved fortunate, and made him a legend in the craft brew industry. Today the Van Honsebrouck Brewery – still family owned and operated – distributes its specialty ales to at least two dozen countries including the United States, Canada, China, Italy, Brazil and Japan.
