Lieve is a light gold, crisp and crushable beer of 4.5% ABV showcasing 100% pils malt. It's inspired by the top fermented but lagered hybrid beers produced around the German city of Cologne, but has a more pronounced ester profile and a firmer bitterness (Citra and Mandarina Bavaria). The Lieve was one of the oldest canals in Europe. From the star-shaped fortifications of Damme, it flowed to the historic city of Ghent. Its name translates as "dear" or "lovely".
