Description
Abdij Maria Toevlucht (Our Lady of Refuge Abbey) belongs to the Order of Cistercians of the Strict Observance, better known as the Trappists. The abbey was founded on 14 September 1938 when the priory of Zundert was elevated to the status of an abbey.

In 2009, careful consideration led to the decision to start a small brewery. A small brewery, because: ‘monks brew to live and do not live to brew’. Building work began in 2012. Following extensive preparations, the plans were implemented between October 2012 and October 2013. The brewery was built within the existing contours of the former buildings of the De Kievit farm. These buildings also house the workplaces. ‘Zundert Trappist’ beer was introduced on the market in December 2013.

Good white head, bit fluffy, over hazy orange beer. Yeast, bit of solvent. Smells like a beer in full fermentation, yet on the brink of the BBd...? Banana, even clove, wheataromas. Bitter-grainy flavour, very good albeit again some solvent. Cypress, conifers. Feels well-bodied for only 4%, and really slick. Good carbonation. The solvent is a crying shame, otherwise this would get even higher notes. Txs to Stef!

Gedronken bij Herberg 't Pannehûske in Achtmaal. Helder lichtbruin bier met schuim. Smaak is hoppig en best intens voor een laag alcohol bier en heel goed met iets van gras en kruiden.

Nagy, örökké tartó, bézs hab, sötétbarna, majdnem fekete szín. Gabonás, karamelles illat. Gabonás, pörkölt malátás, karamelles íz. Testes, közepesen szénsavas, enyhén kesernyés. Egyszerű, nem túl ízgazdag quad.

Last bottle in Casper. 02-2026 on the label.

Pours a slightly hazy deep amber with a huge head of foam, excellent retention and lacing.

Smell spicy, fruity, candi sugar, some caramel malt, earthy.

Taste is malty, some spice and fruit, earthy, more malt with some sweetness, bitter almost all in the finish for me. Unusual.

Great mouthfeel.

Sad that the brewery is closing.
