Description
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.

(Bottle 75 cl) The colour of acacia honey Tina claims, adding that she’s got a bracelet the same colour. Well, so be it: this is acacia honey coloured. Tall bubbly and very full head. Loads of floating impurities. Sweetish with pronounced notes of yeast and a solid hoppiness to level things out. Produced by the "méthode champenoise". 190305

(Bottle 25 cl) Dark brown, dirty looking beer with large amounts of sediment. Limited, light brown head. An extremely heavy beer, in the same style as the best (and strongest) trappist beers from Rochefort and Westfleteren. Resembles portwine with hints of chocolate, dates -basically anything dark, powerful and sweet. The alcohol warms me up. To be enjoyed in small quantities. 210204

Hazy golden colour. Big white head, long lasting. Has alot of citrus in the aroma, also hints of hops and yeast. Has a slighty sweet taste and also a spicey taste, hints of yeast too- The aftertaste is a little dry and slightly bitter. Not a bad beer, but not my favourite.

Fully hazy yellow, wheat colour; good white head, reasonably stable. Milky wheat nose, grains, lightly oppressive; very faint spices, but under the identification treshold. Strange - again wheaty, but quite unlike usual wheatbeer. Quite malty, with a citrus surrounding. Quite carbonated. Aftertaste yiels some low-profile bitterness. It’s got a certain sharpness to it, that reveals itself only after some time. Quite good blonde. I wonder whence the wheat associations, as they aren’t supposed to be there?

Too old.

Dark brown color; medium sized head. Nice, mild aroma of chocolate, Belgian yeast, cork, spices. Good body strength; spicy chocolate flavor, pleasant residual sweetness. The bitterness is not very high. Warming alcohol. Very enjoyable.

Dark color; nice head. Very complex aroma, with a base of banana and much more (spices? Chocolate? Herbs? Mint? …). High carbonation, but still good malt and strong bitterness.

Slightly cloudy golden color, medium white head. Aroma of hops, some caramel malt, bit spicy, some orange and mandarine. Slightly sweet and bitter taste with fruity notes, like a blonde ale. Quite tasteful, especially for such a low-alcohol beer.

Bottle. Pleasant malty aroma. Dark brown colour, red hue. Malty, spicy, very peppery flavour with a little bonbon to it. Warming alcohol aftertaste. Mouthfeel is a little thick, reminding me that this is strong stuff.
