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 orange color; nice head, persistent, and lace. First impression in the aroma is the yeast; then the hop, and a delicate fruitness (oranges, apricots…). Excellent Strong Ale, with a good malt, and the bitterness is hitting immediately (a real Brut ;o), turning at the end to an almond kernels bitterness; some bitter orange peel. The bitterness is maybe too strong, but this original beer is really interesting.

A clear brown beer with a small light brown head. The aroma is sweet caramel with notes of raisins and plums. The flavor is sweet with notes of raisins, plums, and wood. It is very sparkling before a dry hoppy end sets in. The flavor and dryness in the end is a bit more than I'd prefer, but it is still a really good beer.

A clear yellow beer with a beutiful head. The aroma is lovely; sweet, citrus, nuts, and peach. The flavor is very dry, fresh, and very carbonated. It has some notes of caramel and a dry hoppy yet sweet aftertaste, that lingers for a long time.

Dark brown colour. Cloudy. Aroma is peachy, with semi-strong alcohol. Fruity-spicy-yeasty character. The fruitiness is lighter stuff, the spices vague and undefinable, the yeast moderate. Texture is slightly syrupy, but this is cut by a decent fizziness for an ale of this strength. Alcohol stays relatively away from the palate. Finishes sweet, malty. Decent beer, but it didn't really give me anything to hold on to - no reason in particular to have it again.

Slight gushing for, after all, very little head; very dark brown with red shine. Woody, vinous, fruity (plums, figs, brambles) and a bit of walnuts. Taste is of a very tannine-rich bitterness, covering truckloads of malt. Little chocolate (beer will be called Dark Chocolate on the American market). Full-bodied at the edge of syrupy. Long & sweet aftertaste where chocolate and mocca finally emerge. I liked the Malheur Brut already. This is a new treat for putting next to it for your Holidays wishlist.

Bottled, 2000 vintage. Cloudy orange. Toffee aroma. Yeasty and lightly vinous. Soft and mild with intense, flowery bitter finish.

I just gotta say: i love those belgians! Clear golden color, with a lot of small particles floating around. Aroma is triple-like spicy, cheesy. Sweet and spicy taste, champagne yeasty and apple notes. Only slightly alcoholic palate, but hardly noticeable, and who cares after finally being back to the real beers!

Virtually no head; hazy foxy-amber beer. Alcoholic nose, brandy ( a good one! ). Definitely some oxidation in the nose, beer however well below BBd. Sweet taste - and immediately alcoholic. Again brandy-ish finish, sweet, but absolutely not cloying. Caramel flavour. Thick, oily mouthfeel, viscous, alcohol-burn but not overwhelming. There's really not much to rave about the finish. A very strong ale, a good ale. But Dogfish Head, Victory or Pizza Port do better eyes closed. Not to mention De Dolle Brouwers or the Reverend Fathers Trappistes.

Gushing to overflowing broken-white head, champenoise-like, but much more stable than any natural sparkling wine. Orange beer with champenoise pearling. Nose of alcohol, brandy-ish. Very outspoken nose of light-brown sugar 'cassonade', some liquorice. Also a hint of old pine-wood. Bitter taste - not hoppy, but spicey, as orange peel or kumquat. Retronasal more beery taste, even a hint of hops - and lots of liquorice. Very dry - mission accomplished. But the pale-brown sugar taste ruins quite a bit. Alcohol-burn and peppery. I've ambiguous feelings about this one. It is a really new beer. I think it is a very good example of typical Belgian brewing. But they might have stopped before the liquorice and cassonade...
