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.

re-released in 2023 as Malheur 5 summerbeer.

Pours hazed yellow, medium white head. Scent is fresh, citrus, easy but assertive. Taste is sharp, bitter, refreshing. Citrus. Very refreshing indeed. Might have enjoyed a bit more aroma here, but otherwise very decent.

Based on Malheur 10, this beers offers different hops and extra spices. Pours unclear, darker blonde. Small white head. Scent is very spicy, cardamon, bit too high on spices, lacks some balance. Taste is full, fairly bitter, malty, spices are better in balance in the taste than it was in the aroma. Mildly sweet finish.

Tap at Cafe Belge. Med-thin body, rather low carbonation. Pretty serious oxidation, lots of cardboard, dried fruits, not in a very good way unfortunately. Moderate caramelly toasted maltiness, subtle spicy phenolic yeast character. Okay.

11,5 ABV version. Pours orange brown with a finger of rather quickly dissipating light tan head. Aroma of caramel, sweet malty, spicy, quite fruity, a hint of alcohol, earthy. Taste is medium sweet and bitter. Body is full, carbonation average. Finish is long, fruity, caramel and pleasant bitterness. Alcohol is well hidden, but it becomes more and more boozy with rise of temperature.
