A revived local beer
The label refers to the original brewery "De Hoop" and maltings of Th. Labens in Lichtervelde (West Flanders), which once brewed this beer as "Blonde des Flandres". De Dolle Brouwers brews and bottles it again today in Esen, in the spirit of the original: pure malt and hops, unfiltered, refermented in the bottle.
