There are many beers with different characters, whether due to their flavour, level of alcohol, region of production, colour, etc. One might think that the belong to no category. In reality, there are all placed in a category know as " Belgian Specials" , a bit of a catch-all, but distinguished by the fact that these beers are found only in Belgium.
Gageleer No Alcohol is a pale yellow beer with a white head. In the nose fruity and malty scents with hints of gale for the finest noses and taste buds. Malt in the mouth and softly sweet, little bitter. None of them predominant, but despite the absence of alcohol a broad and balanced taste palette. Gageleer No Alcohol is a refreshingly tasty beer.
“Barbe Black” , from Verhaeghe brewery, is one of the four “Barbe” beers. The name of the series of “Barbe” beers refers to the Liege brewery “Barbe d’Or”. Brewery Barbe d’Or was a medieval brewery in the old town of Liege (Belgium) and belonged to the family “de Romsée”, an ancient Liege family whose coat of arms adorns the logo of the “Barbe” beers.

Pink Killer , brewed by Silly brewery, and delivered worldwide, is a white Belgian beer flavoured with fruit, produced in the Wallonie region. This is White Beer made from barley malt and wheat, Hallertau hops, orange zest, coriander and grapefruit juice. This last ingredient gives the beer its inimitable pink grapefruit colour.
Hercule Stout 9°, from Brasserie des Légendes ( Ellezelloise) , is made in small batches, then lagered for ten days in German oak casks.
"The Hercule is considered by many to be a classic – very malty, but dry, with a hint of sweetness in the finish, and perfectly hopped. It has a very distinctive and intoxicating spicy aroma of fresh spruce that suddenly, irresistibly, fills the room when the swing-top is released. This unique house character probably derives from the strains of yeast used by the brewery – and possibly from the fermentation in oak – because the beers are made entirely of malt and hops, without any spices or sugar."
