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.

Cloudy golden color; big head. Quite poor aroma: sweet, corn, light malt. Malty, dry mouthfeel. Powerful, not impressive.

Thanks to fattyre for bringing this to the Georgia 14% gathering! There’s a large, light Mocha colored head on this beer that sits on a dark amber colored base. Light malt aroma and the aroma and flavor of old apples. Tha palate is oily and alcoholic with a slightly sour finish. No chocolate anywhere.

2008-05-13, bottle at Ris Ras, Århus, 7-4-8-3-16=38
Dark brown color; thin opersistent head. Nice caramel aroma and flavor, round body, sweet, full mouthfeel, a footprint of belgian yeast at the end, maybe not too bitter. Very good.

2004-07-03, bottled 2000; 4 years old, 8-4-9-5-17=43
Dark amber color; poor head. Strong malty aroma, a bit fruity. Very good mouthfeel, full malty, sweet, very well balanced by the hopping; caramel, fruitness, nuts, spices (cinnamon, ginger, aniseed). Ends with a good hopping, some liquorice and spices…
Excellent!

Bottle: Poured a golden colored beer with a nice thick head. Aroma is quite hoppy and floral. Taste is also hoppy and floral with a hint of citrus (lemon, orange) with a bitter finish. Alcohol is well hidden which I’m starting to believe is a Belgian miracle. Good carbonation with standard body. Makes me want to investigate more beers from this brewery.

An orange beer with a beutiful beige head. The aroma is sweet malty with notes of oranges and nutmeg and hints of sourness. The flavor mystifies me a little - it is dry with notes of spices - but not a good combination of spices. The end is dry and spicy.

Blond color. Light hoppy aroma (not bad…) but too simple flavor, quite poor, on the dry side.
