Collaboration with Kemker Kultuur
Heimwee is an homage to pre-industrial times when beers were herbal and wild, brewed with ingredients that were foraged near the breweries. It is also an homage to our friend Jan Kemker of Brauerei Kemker Kultuur from Germany. Our shared passion for traditional beer styles and brewing techniques has forged a close friendship that sparked this beer.
Heimwee is an intriguing amalgam of a barrel-aged wild dark ale and a barrel-aged wild blonde ale with foraged herbs and myrica gale from foodforest Kerelbroek. To this colourful kaleidoscope of flavours we added heaps of aromatic Opal plums from the Sterregaard. Heimwee has a complex nose with sweet, candy-like notes of caramel and plums, balanced with myrica gale's minty freshness. The initial taste is sour, which evolves into a subtle malty sweetness. The high level of carbonation provides a fresh mouthfeel while the finish offers mild bitters. The result is a rich, herbal and fruity beer that is quite unlike anything you've tasted before. The first plunge into Heimwee will inevitably leave you longing for more.

Pours a cloudy, pale purple coloration with a small, fizzy head. Smells of doughy, slightly grainy malt and a vibrant plum aroma, as well as hints of estery fruit/spice, tannic oak and funk. Taste is an excellent balance of doughy, slightly grainy malt, a rich, vibrant plum presence, some fruity/spicy esters of apricot, gooseberry and clove, as well as additional spices, bringing to mind thyme, anise and elderberry, a mildly tannic oak note and just a hint of musty funk with a good, underlying lactic, citric acidity. Finishes with a light/medium acidity and some plum, spice and oak lingering in the aftertaste. Smooth mouthfeel with a medium body and carbonation.
An excellent Wild Ale that boasts a great balance of fruity, spicy, woody, acidic and funky notes, with the sweet, juicy plums standing out particularly here, backed up by some fruity esters and a distinct, mildly tannic oak presence and subtle herbal/spicy elements, as well as a medium acidity and light funk, making for a quite complex, yet subtely balanced brew that is as rich in flavour as it is refreshing. A truly enjoyable beer from two of Europe's perhaps lesser known, but outstanding makers of oak-aged, mixed-fermentation Wild Ales with herbs and botanicals.
