About
Het verhaal achter de brouwerij begint bij stamvader Balthazar De Landtsheer, die in 1773 in Baasrode werd geboren en er brouwerij “ De Halve Maan “ oprichtte. Zijn zoon, Eduard De Landtsheer, geboren in 1808, nam de roerstok over. In 1839 nam zijn kleinzoon, Emmanuel De Landtsheer, zijn intrek in de bestaande afspanning-boerderij-brouwerij “'t Meuleke“ in Baasrode-Zuid. Hij veranderde de naam in “Brouwerij De Zon“ (vandaar de oranje huiskleur). Het bedrijf was zo succesvol dat de boerderij mettertijd werd afgestoten en dat bier brouwen de hoofdactiviteit werd. Na zijn overlijden in 1879 werd Emmanuel eerst opgevolgd door zijn zoon Charles en later door zijn kleinzoon die ook Emmanuel heette. Emmanuel De Landtsheer schakelde tijdens de Tweede Wereldoorlog over van brouwen op bottelen en bierhandel. Na de oorlog kreeg zijn zoon Adolf de leiding in handen.

In augustus 1997 werd in de oude brouwerij van de familie De Landtsheer terug opgestart door Manu De Landtsheer, zoon van Adolf, onder de naam “Brouwerij Malheur“. Zo werd de familiale brouwtraditie in ere hersteld.

ZBF 2007 Fast neutraler Geruch, etwas hopfig, minimal malzig. Leicht herb und überraschend mild ist das Bier. Später wird es herber, leider auch alkoholisch. Das leicht hhopfige Aroma bildet den Abschluss eines etwas langweiligen Bieres. Test vom 4.3.2007, Gebinde: Glasflasche Noten: 8,8,8,8,-,8 - 8,00

ZBF 2007. Süßer, von Malz geprägter Geruch. Süß, wie aber auch im Geruch erkennbar eher malzig ist der Antrunk, dabei ist der hohe CO2-Gehalt zu beachten. Der sehr malzige Teil verschwindet nach und nach, anschließend stellt sich eine leichte Schokoladennote ein. Der Abgang ist röstmalzig.

2006 bottle, 8%. Slightly sweet, yeasty aroma. Hazy golden colour, stable white head. Good, sweetish aroma hop flavour. Fruity and sweet, a bit like a low alcohol tripel.

25 cL bottle. Pours deep brown/black with light brown head. Aroma is fruity (plum and raisins), hops, coffee and malt. Taste has the same in a wineous blend - and what a perfect blend! Fruit, coffee and wineous are the keynotes that I would put to this beer. I have a new favourite!

(Bottle 33 cl) Pours a slightly hazy, pale amber with a tall, dense and lasting white head leaving laces. Aroma of pale malts with a whiff of yeast. Medium body with a light fruitiness and some yeast. Dry, light bitter finish with a touch of diacetyl. A very pleasant "Blonde" with no flaws. 040207

Small white head. Faintly hazy yellow body. Firm, harmonic sweetish aroma of tropical fruit with soft marzipan notes and a touch of alcohol. Taste is deep, sweet marzipan (and possibly chocolate) with notes of hops and something reminiscent of tobacco. Very smooth and harmonic, and quite bitter. Bitter, chalky aftertaste with strong hop notes. Very nice! (0.33l bottle.)
