Caeymaex (ABV 8 %) from Brasserie Fantôme commemorates the "Boerenkrijg" (the Flemish peasant war against the French occupier) in 1798. On the occasion of the 200th anniversary, Dany Prignon (Fantôme Brewery) brewed the beer Caeymaex. Mr. Caeymaex was, at time of this war, mayor of Berlaar and leader of a small peasant army that fought with the French.
“Well-balanced with a slightly earthy, fruity base, an exquisite, well-carbonated and lively mouthfeel, and some spicy undertones. . . Light fruit builds for me and the balance is central to the enjoyment. It’s a highly, highly drinkable beer with some light spice poking through now and then. . . Excellent offering, supremely enjoyable and simply (in all senses of the word) delightful.” – as reviewed on Ding’s Beer Blog. 25.4 oz corked and capped bottle.
