Description
In 1933 Charles Caulier, a miner, left his job and decided to set up as a beer reseller in Bonsecours, a small village in the south of Belgium. In 1980, Roger and Linda Caulier took over the family business and continued progressing.
The warehouses soon became too cramped so they took over the buildings of a former tannery in Péruwelz. The products of the Brewery are still brewed in these buildings today.

In the early 1990s, Roger and Linda decided to market their own beer: a custom-made high fermentation blonde. The Bon Secours was born! These were promising beginnings but they still dreamt of creating their own brewery. A dream which became reality when they bought the machinery from the Deneve brewery in Schepdaal and inaugurated the first brew in 1996!

In 2007, the NV Brasserie Caulier was declared bankrupt. At the beginning of 2008, the activities were transferred to a private limited company of the sons of Roger Caulier, who subsequently adopted the name Brasserie et Distillerie Caulier. As of 2012, Laurent, Bertrand and Vincent joined their parents in the adventure. In order to respond to the growing demand for its products, in 2018 the Brewery began a large multi-annual programme of investments with the goal of tripling its production capacity. The historical Brewing House has been extended, new fermentation and storage tanks have been added, and the bottling line has been modernised.

Etant maintenant très loin de cette sainte terre, je dois avouer que je mets toujours beaucoup d'espoir quand j'ai la possibilité d'ouvrir une bouteille en provenance de Belgique. Cela est d'autant plus une déception quand on rencontre une bière telle cette Bon Secours, qui présente des déséquilibres patents et des arômes peu intéressants. En verre, c'est un blond pâle très légèrement voilé pas désagréable qui se présente à nous. La mousse, blanche et crémeuse est tout de même un peu trop généreuse. Le nez présente une acidité certaine, sur le citron, la pomme et une touche de miel. En bouche, c'est à la fois déséquilibré et avec un manque criant de ligne directrice. L'attaque est à la fois acide et astringente, peu agréable, avec des arômes de citron, de zest d'orange et de pomme avec une pointe d'herbes. La deuxième est un peu moins astringente mais ne s'équilibre pas pour autant avec un alcool à 8 % qui n'arrive pas à structure l'ensemble. Ce dernier ressort davantage en arrière bouche, mais sans être bien intégré. La corpulence est moyenne, alors que la longueur est bonne, mais sur un final peu appréciable. Cette bière ferait mieux de s'appeler Bon Courage ou Au Secours...

Bottle from Carrefour. Hazy golden, thin, frothy, off-white head; some floaties. Aroma of banana, bubblegum, canned peach, pineapple, apricot jam, yellow apple, coriander. Taste has sweet banana, pineapple & melon, all in all quite an estery profile, 'white' bready maltiness underneath with some soapy coriander, faint orange peel bitterness; yeasty, spicy, grassy hoppy finish, more ripe yellow fruit & warming gin-like alcohol. Medium body, slick texture, lively carbonation. Technically not flawless, but decent.

BB 07/11/2021, 330 ml swing top bottle

APPEARANCE: strong smoky bang at the opening, small amount of the foam appears on the top of the bottle but no gushing; murky goldento bright ice tea like color with light haze and quite a lot of floating chunks, a big snow white crackling head that dissipated quite quickly in to small ring of bubbly islands; with the sediment quite hazy pear and peach juice like color

AROMA: slightly restrained on the nose, light to moderate sweetness of toasted malts and candi sugar, soft alcohol mixed with fruity esters of banana, apricot, subtle pear and peach, no obvious typicall tripel phenols, hints of white grapes/raisins, subtle wood and old grass

TASTE: fluffy bubbles, slightly lively but not effervescent, sharp or numbing carbonation, medium light body, slightly slick and oily mouthfeel but also a bit wet on the edges; moderate sweet sugary onset but not overly sweet or cloying at all, light candi sugar/candy vibe in the middle, sweet toast, notes of corn bread and sweet grains on the edges, lack of fruity esters and spicy phenols, light noble hop bitterness with notes of grass, old flowers and subtle wood; a bit mineral, very soft citrusy note, very mild spicy alcohol whit no heat or glow therefore remarkably well hidden

OVERALL: very traditional and easy drinkable 10% abv triple, luckily not on the cloying side and no off-flavors; lacks in yeast profile; brewing at full moon didn't bring anything special to this beer
