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.

Misty deep brown with a large beige head. Aroma: special malts, dried fruit, light nail polish. Full body. Taste: medium sweet. Rich malts, dried fruit, a hint of nail polish, warming alcohol. Fairly good. But pretty basic.

Pours cloudy golden with a large white frothy head. Aroma: fine Belgian yeast, fruit, malt, candy. Full body. Average to lively carbonation. Taste: light to medium sweet, malty, fruity, leathery, spicy, a bit boozy. Light bitterness. Very classical.

17 August 2019. At Gents Bierfestival X. Cheers to Anke, Kevin & the crew! Hazy dark brown-amber with a lasting, small, foamy, tan head. Aroma of brioche, raisin, caramel, plum, milk chocolate, peanuts, green tea. Taste is medium malty sweet, quite some chocolate filled with dark fruits, plum, dried orange, vaguely estery, edge of peanuts, brioche & caramel. Bittersweet backbone of mocha, toffee & green tea, leading to a dryish, herbal hoppy finish, nicely lingering caramel & raisin & warming liqueur alcohol. Medium body, creamy texture, fizzy carbonation. Pleasant encounter.

Tap at Craft Hands. Surprised to see this in Japan. Dark brown colour, small golden head. Aroma is quite weird, perfumey, dark fruit, booze. Taste is interesting, quite sweet and cakey, raisins, yeasty, something floral there, bit of tripel booziness, little touch of creamy chocolate too. Really tastes like a cake. Malty.

Bottle from 2010. Tastes lovely, lots of toffee, light sparkle, body is full but at the same time light and airy. Fruity, rich, plums, marzipan. Pretty damn nice. Doughy.

Pours clear dark amber ( light brown) medium white, stable head. Smell is caramel, toast, malty, belgian style esters ( medium mild banana). Taste is starting out rather sharp, bit thin. Toasty, caramelly, bit earthy. Thinner body than expected. Medium high carbo. OK.

My 700th. Beautiful creamy head. Cloudy. Aroma of fresh hops, citrus and honey. Very hoppy flavor. Herbal, pepper, citrus. Alcoholic. Strong champagne-like mousse. A big and complex beer well worth the high price ($ 8,- a bottle)

Pours a huge head that disappears slowly. Slightly hoppy, slowly aroma. Hoppy and flowery flavor, just a bit citric. Long very hoppy finish. I like the complex flavor much better as the aroma.
