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.

10 Tripel Magistral from Brouwerij Malheur

6.8/10 — Appearance 8 Aroma 7 Flavor 6 Texture 6 Overall 7
Hazy, honeyish colour. Very thick white head, rather regular. Going down lacey. Liqueurish nose, herbal, grassy hops, candi sugar, whiff of ureum. Taste is exaggerated liquorice. Some caramel malt and even burnt malt, despite the colour. Agressive, unhoppy bitterness, at odds with the nose. Yeasty too. Retronasal I seem to detect some coriandre, but faint - no other spices. Dry, very much so. Alcohol at last. Slick mouthfeel. Quite bland, less impressive than most of their beers. But not really undeserving. Could do with a nice hoppy boot in the backside.

The beer made me think about the "Kastelein 8°" beer immediately. It isn't the same. Kastelein is actually weaker, and the taste is completely different (we were able to taste them next to each other). Very deep-dark; thick head, immediately down. Very hoppy! Good! Noble hops, some chocolate in the nose. Taste: Belgian? this is pure USA West-coast. Toffee, good dark malt underbuild, with a superb dose of noble hops. There is some oxidation, showing the age of the beer. Full-bodied, creamy mouthfeel. The palate is actually somewhat lacking, as if the beer gets tired. Americans! This is your Belgian ale - the most West-coast tasting beer I've ever had here. And I like it.

Draught. This beer is brewed by De Landtsheer to be a draught housebeer for various pubs in Belgium. pale brown coulour with orange hue. Slight white head, lacy. Nutty nose, candi sugar. Bitter-refreshing taste, it's hoppy. Candi-sugar is there, in the background. Reasonably full-bodied. Bitter aftertaste, but not hoppy, more burnt malt. A rather OK brown. It's better than I seem to recall.

Bottled. Dark ruby. Concentrated aroma of sweet malt and cherries. Thick and syrupy, very sweet and very malty. Very dense and flavourful. Grassy finish with some bitterness.

Slightly hazy golden color. Creamy, rocky lasting head. Tiny particles floating around. Aroma of sour yeast, doughy, spices, coriander, orange. Bit blond taste, not triple-like. Hoppy. Acidic palate.

Cloudy brown color, short but lasting head. Aroma of spices, roasted malts, bit alcohol. Flavor of roasted malts, somewhat bitter. Palate is bitter at first, alcoholic down the throat.

Bottled. Pale orange and hazy. Rich complex orangey hops and apricot in the nose. Sweet, but strikingly hopy. Peppery with lovely depth and a lingering bitter finish. Real classy!

Glowing pale, slight haze, abundant foam; toasty, peppery, champagne-like aroma (and no I''m not being fanciful); dry, white peppery body, slight acid, reasonable potency is belied by unique complexity. The Malheur yeast likes the methode champagnoise. Truth is, so do I.

Opaque light orange colour; thick, creamy head considering how much alcohol this has; aroma shows orange, melon, alcohol, spice (thyme, mint, anise); firm body; yeasty, malty palate, dry from alcohol, more fruit (apricot, pear). I love the yeast-fruit interplay.
