PIKAFLOR
Hazy blonde wheat beer
6,3% VOL. – IBU 30
Refreshing with a mild bitterness and a slightly acidic touch.
By adding fresh ginger root and coriander seed a subtle spicy taste is obtained.
Pikaflor means hummingbird in Spanish-speaking South America.
PIKAHOP
Hoppy amber ale
5,5% VOL. – IBU 32
Characterized by an expressive hoppy aroma and a balanced bitterness.
Most of the hops are added after the main fermentation, this ensures that extra aromatic oils from the hops dissolve in the beer.
The spices (originating from the rye malt and yeast) are a nice complement to the well-considered hopiness.
PIKAFLOR Fresh Hop Harvest
Blond tarwebier – Limited Edition
6,3% VOL. – IBU 13
Each year in September, PIKAFLOR is brewed with fresh hand-picked hop cones from our own hopyard.
This limited edition beer therefore has a surprisingly smoother taste which will vary every harvest year.
PIKAMIEL
Dark honey beer
6,9% VOL. – IBU 25
The local honey from Massemen provides a very soft taste and good drinkability.
Everything is nicely balanced thanks to a pleasant sweetness, obtained by adding lactose just before bottling.
PIKASOUR
Red Sour Beer
4,2% VOL. – IBU 19
Zuur bier met een prachtig rode kleur verkregen door het toevoegen van hibiscusbloemen.
PIKWADRUPEL
Complex dark beer
10,6% VOL. – IBU 19
Aromas of chocolate and the warming feeling of alcohol provide a deliciously long aftertaste.
Adding candi sugar at the end of the cooking process provides even more flavor and alcohol.
PIKATRIPEL
Fruity Tripel
8,3% VOL. – IBU 36
Blonde Tripel with fruity aromas.
Full and creamy taste with a nice balance between slightly sweet and pleasantly bitter.
