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, pours the lightest yellow I have ever seen in a beer, with a tall white head. Smells citrusy sweet with a light hop scent. The flavor is sweet and sour malt with a light bitterness in the finish, very sweet though. Not my thing, I would prefer a more bitter blond.

330ml swing-top bottle, bb. Oct.09, thanks to Skinnyviking. Hazy golden body under a low, white head. Aroma of dry white wine with a spicy touch. Spiced taste containing late, sweet banana and acid fruits, with underlying candy sweetness. Foamy-alcoholic on the swallow. Short tail, though. Alright, but much of the flavours are pushed into the background by a prominent element of alcohol. [Tromsø, New Years Day 2009].

Bottled. An unclear light golden beer with a thin white head. The aroma is sweet citrusy combined with light notes of malt. The flavor is sweet malty with notes of citrus, leading to a dry wheaty and citrusy finish.

Lively out of the bottle but quickly loses fizz. Oaky, musty aroma comes through in the flavour too. Some raspberry sweetness comes through too. A tad too sour though.

Slightly sour and oaky aroma. Lasting sweetness and hints of raspberry. Not worth repeating.

Bottle, 75cl. An amber, almost clear beer with a coarse beige head. Lovely spiced nose with caramel, tea, citrus, some alcohol and a little bit of cellar and dried fruits. Warming in the mouth, maybe a tad much for a beer at 8%, but in a pleasant way. Full-bodied and effervescent, with flavors of sweetness, tea, caramel, roasted malt and a slightly herbal bitterness. Lasting finish with bitterness, herbs, sweetness and alcohol. The beer is maybe a bit edgey, but still lovely. (080829)
