The nature of Limburg...
In 2018, Cindy and Luc moved to a farmhouse in the greenest sweet spot in Flanders: Zutendaal. As 'city people' they were quickly impressed by the beauty of the Limburg nature. It was hard to put into words.
The great writer Jeroen Brouwers used to live nearby. Brouwers... brewing...
What if the nature of Limburg could be captured in taste? The idea started to ripen, Cindy put her imagination into it, Luc rolled up his sleeves and a few months later the Limburgse Schone was born.
...in a bottle
De Limburgse Schone is a unique beer: dry, bitter and sweet.
Dry as the Lommel Sahara, with a bitter touch of bronze-green oak chips from the Hoge Kempen and a subtle sweet hint of Haspengouw apples. A sensation for the senses.
This seductive blonde drink of the gods consists largely of local ingredients and has an alcohol content of 7.2% and IBU 24.
Brewery
Cindy and Luc now run the Bezoens microbrewery, named after the Bezoensbeek, which rises on the Kempen Plateau near the hamlet of Stalken, their home town.
That's local!

Let yourself be seduced by this blonde Beauty!
Appearance: The white head is nicely firm, stable and forms lace along the glass. The beer is golden and slightly cloudy.
Aroma: You immediately experience soft apple in the nose. In addition, a hint of caramel and spicy hops. Freshness.
Taste: The taste is full and smooth, malty with a sweet attack. You also taste grains and wood notes. Slightly bitter.
Mouthfeel: A full creamy beer with a spicy sensation. Softly carbonated. Fresh with a little acidity.
Finish: The finish is fruity and somewhat dry towards the end. The fruity apple remains subtly present throughout the beer.
General impression: Stable and full bodied. A drinker.
Ideal for refreshment on a summer terrace!
” Whether you're a purebred Limburger or a passing tourist: everyone craves the taste sensation of a Limburger Schone "
Did you know...
... Zutendaal has 7,200 inhabitants? This appears to be a magic number, because the alcohol percentage of the Limburg Schone is ... 7.2%.
... we do not use any animal ingredients to filter the beer? Vegetarians and vegans can also enjoy this delicious blonde to their heart's content!
... we use artisanal apple juice from environmentally friendly and organically grown fruit from Haspengouw for the subtle sweet impression? Always very freshly pressed and no added preservatives, water, sugar, sweeteners, colourings or flavourings. Top quality apple juice!
... heavy, blond beers are best served in a somewhat larger, tulip-shaped glass? The volume of the glass gives the aromas of the beer enough space to reach their full potential. The tulip shape ensures that these aromas are retained. You shouldn't pre-rinse tulip-shaped glasses, but always use a nice, clean, dry glass.
A very fresh beer with a nice taste. Drinks well, sometimes a bit too fast.

By the Schone even a Limburger becomes fast, when he walks to the frigo to take another one! - Cedric
Nice fresh beer with a soft aftertaste, ideal for both of us but we don't share!
