Kerel India Pale Ale from VBDCK is a refreshingly straightforward IPA brewed in Belgium with genuine character. The Temse brewery, established in 1909 by Jules Verbeeck and Laura Back, makes beer without pretense—just honest craft and plenty of flavour.

This IPA leads with citrus fruit and piney hops, grounded by subtle caramel malt sweetness. At 4.5% ABV, it drinks remarkably easy despite its robust hop presence. The body sits comfortably at medium weight with fine carbonation and a clean finish that lets the hop bitterness shine without overwhelming.
