Deus Brut des Flandres
First brewed at Bosteels, transfered to the Champagne region of France were it is treated much like a champagne with the bottles inverted and the yeast expunged and bottle recorked.

Bottle from Wine Reserve, Cobham. Only bought this because I confused Flanders with Leige and thought it would be my final Belgian region tick. Aroma is vinous and sweetly fruity with a dry edge. Golden amber. Bubbly translucent white head soon disappears almost entirely. Medium bitter with underlying syrupy fruits. Vinous. Light-medium bodied. Thin if slick. Benefits from soft-fizzy carbonation. Long dry finish. It's fine. When I was at Uni I'd go to a gig and in order to make my money go further I'd buy some cheap wine to get pissed on beforehand. I have a fuzzy memory that this beer is reminiscent of those wines but cost 3 - 4 times as much.
Notas a albahaca, huevos, azufrados y perfume. Con una espuma generosa aunque fugaz. Persiste un dulzor al final.

Bottle, 2017. Almost 4 months after best before date, but no sign of decay. Color: Clear golden, lot of tiny carbonation bubble going up in the glass, like champagne. Thin white head. Aroma: Malty, some herbal and yeasty notes, fruity hints, bit white wine-like. Taste: Over moderate sweet, moderate bitterness, malty, yeasty, notes of banana, herbal cinnamon / clove / ginger, some fruity stone fruit / yellow fruit, apple and hints of orange. White wine like flavours and mouthfeel. Dry mouthfeel. Quite unusual, most champagne-like beer I've tasted. Nice complexity, I can see the potention and understand why a lot of people give a fairly high rating but somehow this just isn't my kind of beer.
Bottle 2015 . Pale golden pour with lots of carbonation very champagne like but a quickly receding head .... aroma of spicy ginger, light clove, banana and belgian yeast .... taste is of ginger, clove, belgian fruit yeast, banana and dry ... nice spicy and soft, not as carbonated as I thought it would be .... Crisp and clean finish ... abrupt finish but of ginger and clove .... great and very sessionable brew
Favorite. Great champagne type beer. Expensive but worth it.
Champagne bier
Brilliant yellow, white head.
Citrus, dried apricots, metallic
Full bodied, dried yellow fruits, some banana, very fine perlage, clearly Belgian yeast, medium sweet. Complex.
Drinking it from a Champagne glass.
Pale yellow with a foam and bubbles like Champagne.
More the smell of a white wine than a beer.
Strong alcohol taste with notes of sparkling apple cider and an agreeable, not too heavy sweetness. Dry and bitter aftertaste.
Versé dans une flûte le rendu est superbe. De fines bulles remontent comme sur un mousseux. Le nez n'est pas forcément très expressif mais en bouche c'est sublime. La pétillance est fine, c'est fruité, la sensation est vraiment étrange, on peine à croire parfois que l'on est en présence d'une bière et les 11,5 % se feraient presque oubliés. Certains pourront trouver ça too much mais pour moi c'est une réussite.
750ml bottle at We Brought Beer Bottleshare. As good as I remembered. Very sessionable with just the right amount of champagne yeast.
Great look with very fine bubbles and fine white foam. Very dry with slightly sweet finish.
75 cl fles. Helder goudblond bier met wit schuim. Geur: licht zoet, mout, wat floraal, fruitig, appel. Smaak: zoet, suiker, wat gistkarakter, fruitig, rode zoete appel, alcoholisch. Sprankelende koolzuurprikkel. Waarom zo zoet?
Wow this is a great beer. Citrus that leans toward fake lemony, pepper, a little ginger, some nice yeasty notes all over a mild grassy sweet malt. Worth it.
Golden color, white head. Ginger nose, Belgian, spicy, cloves. Belgian yeast taste with fruity esters, spicy, malty, hay, sweet notes, complex. Full body, soft carbonation.

Gekocht bij drankencentrale Verhelst in Dendermonde eind 2013 en thuis geproefd op 14-12-2013. Zeer goed, lijkt wat op champagne, het ideale bier om niet-bierdrinkers te overtuigen. één van mijn lievelingsbieren. Info en foto's: http://www.beersfrombelgium.eu/nl/Deus_Brut_des_Flanders-b-175.html
Robe blond vif, presque un peu fluo, limpide mais quelques fins flocons de levure. Mousse correcte, moyennement durable, belle carbo. Nez agrumé, acidulé, avec une typicité surement due à la levure. En bouche, on a aussi un côté acidulé, fruité et sec, vraiment typé crémant. Agréable, on ne sent pas du tout la force de l'alcool, avec cette sécheresse. Après, ça n'est pas vraiment mon style préféré.
Blonde équilibrée, fine, fruitée
Bottle. A birthday gift off Hydes. Drunk at the local byo kebab place. Pale, green tinged gold. No head. Nose has cardboard. Some fusty lemon. Bit of a leathery thing. Weird shit this. Taste has some bready sweetness. Pretty dry. Medium body. Fine, massaging carbonation. Drinks easy at the ABV. Light bitter finish. Weirdly underwhelming.
From a corked bottle. Pours light gold with small head. Aroma of light grain, ginger, pear, apple. Significant carbonation and mouthfeel. Flavors of sparkling apple juice, honey, pear, ginger, love. I've had this brew many times over the last 20 years and this time it really stands out as more than just a champagne type beer, but at the Seattle International Beerfest it was the best beer for me, refreshing, sophisticated, smooth and delicious.
From 0,75l bottle at Sanders place. Yellow golden color, small white head. Smells herbal, elder flowers, nice smell. Full body, soft carbonation. Tastes of elder flowers, flowery, light sweetness, Belgian yeast, grassy. Finishes lightly sweet with notes of elder flower, Belgian yeast and grassy notes. Nice one, good to drink
Helder geel bier met ruime witte schuimkraag. Citrus, bloemig, zoet, met niet te. Blijft lang hangen. Beter dan dame Jeanne
Was tending to some homebrew in my basement and stumbled upon a long-forgotten bottle of Deus I had squìrreled away, vintage 2005. Was a bit worried, to be honest, that it had gone off after all that time, but the 14 or so years didn't seem to adversely affect the golden elixir whatsoever. Chilled to the recommended 2°C and it poured a very fizzy, white head that quickly and completely disappeared in the champagne flute. Pronounced ginger note up front and a bit of mellow Belgian funkiness made for a very enjoyable evening sipper with the better half. Will definitely be looking for another bottle in the near future for comparison's sake (and not waiting 14 years to drink it this time, haha).
Champagne beer, yest and pretty dry
Copenhagen 30/3 2019. 75 cl bottle from Meny, Borups Allé, Frb F. Corked with metal keeping everything in place. Brown label made out to look hand drawn with a couple of Hippogriffs. Cuvée Prestige 2017.
Pours clear pale yellow with a medium-sized white head. Bubbly. Settles as flimsy thin layer of foam. Patchy and unable to cover the surface of the beer. Resembles a Champagne or Cremant. No Lacing.
Aroma is spicy, citric and quite yeasty. Cardamom, ginger, coriander. Acerbic citrus. Hints of banana, humid basement and yeast.
Strong carbonation. Wildly prickly, tingling, slightly thick texture.
Flavor is medium sweet followed by a slightly stronger citric sour bitterness. Aftertaste is bitter sweet and lingers for a short while.
Very Champagne-like and vineous in character. Kind of camouflages the fairly High ABV of 11,5. A bit too heavy on the herbal stuff but well made and an amusing concept.
Aroma: light lemon, touch of stone fruit & hop
Appearance: nicely yellow with a touch of haze, big head with patching lacing and lots of fine bubbles
Flavour: hit of citrus, floral and stone fruit blended with sweet malt and noticeable spiritous, reminiscent of lemon cello
Palate: nicely carbonated, good medium mouthfeel, finishes a touch herbal
24 February 2019. Wieze Bierfestival - cheers to Meeki, Ama Deke & the lovely Anke!
In a suitable champagne glass, pours clear pale golden with a lasting, thin, frothy, off-white head; pleasantly fizzing at the edge. Aroma of apple cider, dried banana, wheat, white grape, white pepper, breadcrust, melon, flowers, perfume. Taste is light fruity sweet, notes of banana, apple, pear, and weirdly, melon, almost cider-like, next to faint honey & bread & perfumey accents; medium spicy bitter middle has white grape, pepper, aniseed, vague grain & yeast. Just a tad wheaty sour before finishing dryish, bit floral hoppy, lingering banana, bread, spices, and warming champagne-like alcohol. Medium body, creamy texture, lively carbonation. Definitely a succesful brew, agreeable too, although I'm glad I got to taste one glass at the festival, not having to buy a whole bottle of it...
Ocena uzupełniana na podstawie wspomnień z degustacji. Wyglada jak szampan, smakuje bardziej jak wino jabłkowe. Intrygujące
Mooie kleur met fijne bubbeltjes, uitbundige geur van hop ( teveel voor mij ), overdreven bittere smaken
Bubbly, apples, citus nice beer thata strong but with out that huge alcohol taste
