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 from Beers of Europe. Pours a cloudy purple with big off white frothy head, nice lacing. Berry, herbs and laundry powder aroma. Taste has a moderate berry fruitiness, light tartness, grains, sweetness and floral bitter hops. Medium bodied, light stickiness, semi-drying. Good balance to it and the beer element is not lost here although the fruit addition lacks a certain freshness or juiciness to round it off.

27/XII/24 - 44cl can from Geers (Oostakker), shared @ Strasbourg holiday apartment, BB: 5/IX/25, SE24-0806 09:48 (2024-1312)

Clear gold orange beer, creamy off-white head, a little stable, non adhesive. Aroma: malty,g rains, slightly fruity, bread, ok, but overall a very faint aroma, and by no means an IPA. On warming up, I’m getting some caramel malts, and a very faint hint of tropical fruits. MF: ok carbon, medium to light body. Taste: a bit malty, grassy, bitter, herbal touch, pretty dry, a little fruity, some citrus from afar. Aftertaste: pretty bitter, zesty, grapefruit, a hint of tropical fruit, slightly sweet, malty finish. Where’s my aloha? Where’s my IPA? Very disappointing. Tame.

9,0% ABV. Õlle on selline jook, et iga uus kord kui klaasi või pudeli suule tõstad, siis leiad midagi uut, sõltuvalt tuhandest-miljonist pisiasjast, mis hetke olukorda mõjutavad. Seega piirdun iga õlle juures selle tekstiga.
