À propos

De Verboden Vrucht is a distinctive strong ale from Brouwerij De Kluis, founded by Pierre Celis in 1966. First brewed in 1982, this heavyweight is crafted with barley malt, hop cones, spring water and candy sugar, then bottle-conditioned to develop its layered profile. The beer displays a dark red to amber hue with a soft, full mouthfeel. Aromatic yeast esters bring banana and ripe fruit notes, while caramel and toffee from the malt provide sweetness. Herbal hop character and gentle clove spice add complexity. The finish is dry and warming, with lingering fruit and a pleasant alcohol presence that complements its strength without harshness.
