Description
We have been brewing beer for beer lovers since 1994. The brewery was founded in the city of Bergen op Zoom (The Netherlands) which is situated at the banks of the Eastern Scheldt (Dutch: Oosterschelde). In 2008 the brewery moved to the city of Hoogstraten in Antwerp Province, just across the Belgian border with The Netherlands. There we continued to brew well balanced beers, classic Belgian with a modern touch. Many characteristics still refer to our birthplace. Our mascot the crab is also the mascot of Bergen op Zoom and the two so called ‘wild men’ are shown in the flag and coat of arms of the city since 1622. These wild men are still shown on all our labels, portraying the different beer names.
Every sip of Scheldebeer has been brewed in our own brewery, build with love and care. We are ambitious brewers who prefer craft beers with a sense of the past and a taste of the present. True to traditions but always looking for an exciting balance between nostalgic and new, modest and daring. Our beers are unfiltered, unpasteurized and have bottle refermentation. Besides from all the natural ingredients we hope you'll taste patience and devotion in all the flavours. Cheers!

Bottled, alc. 7% (BB 12/2006). Hazy nut brown, cloudy white head. Malty, a bit metallic nose. Grassy hoppy, fruity (apricot) - sweet. Tickling carbonation. Dutch version of Belgian ale, so it is typical very sweet.

[Bottled at Monk’s Café, Stockholm] Hazy golden. Aroma of nutmeg and cinnamon. Dryish and fairly light bodied with light, spritzy mouthfeel. Teh malt sweetenss grows as it warms, revealing yeasty almond and marmelade flavours. Saison-like in it’s liveliness. Very likable.

[Bottled at Monk’s Café, Stockholm] Completely black, near no head. Aroma of tobacco and fruit. Medium dry with near full body and clean mouthfeel. There are notes of chocolate, but with it’s hard mouthfeel the flavours does not really take off. Short finish.

[Bottled at Monk’s Café, Stockholm] Clear reddish orange. Non-surprising aroma of black currants. Sweetish and druity with light bodya nd clean mouthfeel. More elegant than most fruit ales, but the malt character is somewhat simplistic, and it is not very complex.

Bottle. A dark red-brown color with a thin brown head. Aroma is sweet and quite spicy combined with notes of yeast, wood, raisins, citrus, and prunes. The flavor is sweet with notes of prunes, wood, and cowberries as well as hints of yeast and alcohol. The mouthfeel is quite carbonated.

(Bottle 33 cl) Hazy, pilsener golden with a tiny head. Malty aroma with a wee touch of citrus. Body is medium and starts slightly sweet, but is quickly relieved by some absolutely ghastly notes that are both sour and metallic. hard to imagine much worse. A light bitterness in the finish. This calls for a rerate if I ever get to another bottle. This must be off. 080906

Bottle (Thank You, bierkoning !) Dark amber coloured, small, stable off-white creamy head; big sweet-fruity nose (exotic ripe fruit, e.g. ananas) with a tinge of liquorice; heavy sweet flavour, but not cloying, full-bodied; citrousy notes in the sweet-caramelly finish. Well rounded with well hidden alcohol, a good one..........

Draught. Hazy beer, orange-gold with pink shine; good white head, leaving textbook lace. Citrussy nose, orangezest. Fruit, but restrained. Some pine/resin but not hoppy. Wry fruity taste, as kumquat, and lo-ots of coriander, the last more and more outspoken warming up, getting soupy. Medium bodied; cold serving initially taking it down. I do not understand. What is meant by this populistic style from this brewery? Anybody can make perfumed coriandersoup.

Golden amber with a white head. Smell is of sour apple/approcotes, but also a soapy side present. Sour splashes into your mouth but finishes with a zingy malt flavor.
