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!

Bottle. Amber in colour, with white head. Some raisins and prunes in the aroma. For a 9% ABV it’s quite easy-drinkable, even though there are some warming alcohol-taste. Fruity, but not much malt. Complex beer with lots of tastes from the first sip to the end. Thx to KØLF. (050923)

Bottle. Hazy, golden colour. Nice, white long-lasting hea. Fruity aromas, with an unpleasant hint of dish-washing soap. Lots of grapefruit-taste. Some alcohol in aftertaste, along with a little banana. Rating: 6-4-7-4-16-3.7. 050923

Bottle. It’s a slightly unclear golden beer, gushing out of the bottle, producing a dense, off-white head. Some small floaties too. The aroma is slightly, only slightly, spiced and sourish, with sugar and tropical fruits. A bit weak. The flavor is very fruity. Citrus and tropical fruits, quite a lot of white sugar and with a decent bitterness. Effervescent and full-bodied. The finish is bitter with white sugar. A quite nice one, but not entirely clean. Drinks well though. 100813

Bottle. Pours a clear golden colour with a dense white head. Fruity aroma with some basement aromas. Fruits and malts in the taste, with some hops. Quite long aftertaste even though it’s not too much hops in it. Thx to KØLF. Rating: 6-3-6-3-14-3.2.(050923

Bottle, at Cardinal. A slightly hazy, golden beer with a two-finger off-white head. Peaches, some tea, white sugar and spiced hints in the aroma. The flavor is sweet and peachy, with some alcohol, wheat and a decent bitterness. Medium to full body, a bit on the sticky sweet side. Sweet finish with some bitternes and spices. Sure, a fine beer, but I would like it dried. 090728

Bottle, Arendsnest. I thought the bottle said that it was brewn by the Halve Maan, but at a lot of websites it is said to be from the Scheldebrouwerij. Clear golden color, short white head, looks like a blonde beer. Aroma of cherry, some spicy notes. Bit crisp and dry taste, yeasty, some cherry. Gets annoying.

Bottled at RBESG. Nut brown, nera no head. Sweet, somewhat syprupy and raisiny. Near full bodied with loads of caramelly malt and butterscotch. Light salty finish. Rich and intriguing.

(Bottle 33 cl) Suppose chestnut coloured is the closest you come to describing this. Chestnut with an orange glow and a small, beige head. Hazy with a bottle sediment. Vinous aroma with notes of almonds and raisins. Very complex taste with notes of dried fruits - raisins in particular. It also has touches of delicate desert wine and marzipan. Incredibly lovely - this really is my kinda beer. 230805

(Bottle 33 cl) Beautiful, dark amber with lots of floating impurities. Small, creamy, off-white head which never collapses completely. Fruity nose with pronounced notes of coriander and yeast. Lightly perfumy flavour (coriander again) with lots of soft malt. Distinct bitter hops in the finish. Quite typical Tripel. 110805

(Bottle 33 cl) Dark and almost muddily unclear, brownish head with lots of impurities. Very complex from lots of good quality ingredients. Heavy and aromatic, almost vinous in it’s approach. Vinous in the direction of sweet desert wines like port, madeira etc. And has some Trappist touches also. Great beer. 260804

(Bottle 33 cl) Slightly hazy, pale golden ale with a dense, tall head. Malty but not very sweet in spite of the added candy sugar. A touch of sourness. Almost Tripelish.

(Bottle 33 cl) Amber golden and very unclear, lots of floaties, with a thick, creamy and quite retentive head. Sweetish, fruity nose. Lots of sweet caramel malt pretty much balanced by a dry, bitter hopping. 280705
