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.

(Bottle, Akkurat, Stockholm) Golden yellow colour with frothy, white head. Goes hazy with the sediment. Fruity, spicy nose with notes of canned peaches, tropical fruit and fresh grass. Fruity taste with peaches, pineapple and a spicy finish. Not very bitter, but way too sweet. Gets drier, spicier and more balanced with the sediment poured in. Decent Belgian blonce.

Bottled (33 cl) from a Belgian supermarket. Initial strong raspberry flavour, which quickly fades away and pretty much vanishes. Quite sour. Lingering bitterness. Not very pleasant overall.

Bottle, 8%. Ok citric fruit aroma. Cloudy amber colour, many small yeast bits floating about. Small white head. The flavour is vinous with some light malt notes and a distinct alcohol finish. It gets a little citric, but is otherwise OK balanced.

From the other kp in GA. The pop on this bottle is ferocious. It pours with a vigorous head but it fades fast into just a decent head, just bubbly (not foamy). The color is a thick golden with some clarity. Aroma is weird, it’s a mix of beautiful floral yeasitness with a honey and spoiled milk/vomit... yeah like I said, weird. On the bright side it is a sweet, faintly chocolate, nice type of spoiled milk/vomit. Taste is lower on that weird aspect, just an ester and sweet brew. It seems there is a honey gone awry aspect here. Makes it a bit too sweet and a bit too, well, honey, espesically with all the esters. Its fine, yet over-the-top. A lightly thicker feel but enough carbonation to offset it. A long sweet, honey-ish, and cocoa aftertaste. Its rough around the edges, but for a light colored beer I feel this could age a little bit. There is a bit of alcohol heft to it. Later pours give it a much larger head and a thicker, dirtier color.
33cl, flip top bottle, dated BB D/2009, Bell’s tulip glass.

33cl bottle @ VinensVerden, Odense. Pours a hazy red with a small pink head and lacings. Nose is sweet of sugar and synthetic berries. Blueberry and sugar. Some gum. Light sourness. Medium and sticky palate. Ahh... too sweet and synthetic - no balance.
