Tasting Notes: A completely original beer which, contrary to the other products of the brewery, is not brewed with 35% wheat. The Iris, which is only made with pale ale malt, conserves the typical flavour of spontaneous fermentation, the complex aromas and vinous taste. The hopping is differnet too. Lambic is made from 100% dry hops, but for the Iris we use 50% dried hops and 50% fresh hops. Although it is a spontaneous fermentation beer, the Iris is very different from the Lambic. The amber colour and the bitter and slightly caramalized taste make it a very interesting and complex beer.

Food Match: It's hop flavours make this a lovely accompaniment to spicy Asian dishes.
