Pieter

Tap to rate

A fruity beer with a citrus note, brewed by Mommeriete in Gramsbergen. The copper kettles of this family brewery, founded in 2004 by Gert and Carina Kelder, are in use every week, and each beer gets a yeast picked to give it its own character. The hops come straight from the hop farmer.

◐ Taste

Pieter enters smooth and approachable, with the citrus and fruit flavors immediately evident on the palate. The malt provides a soft, slightly sweet foundation that balances the moderate bitterness of 30 IBUs, which arrives mid-palate without harshness. The yeast character contributes a gentle complexity throughout.

Serve at 6–8°C

Cold enough to sharpen the hop aroma without numbing the palate. Around 7–9°C keeps the citrus and pine vivid without losing bitterness definition.

Pint glass

The classic — versatile, comfortable to hold and keeps the beer cool. No frills, no distractions: just the beer.

Drink fresh — hop aroma fades fast. Best within 3 months of canning or bottling.
