Description
The Brasserie d'Ecaussinnes was founded in 1999 by the Bruges couple Isabel & Hugues van Poucke. In 2012 the Chinese importer Xiaoning Yu bought the Brasserie d'Ecaussinnes from the Van Poucke's. Together with his friend and beer aficionado Michel Simon, he decided to invest in the former Brasserie d’Ecaussinnes. Substantive work was done to update the production and refresh the image of the brewery. In 2014, the introduction of a new team gave a young and modern dynamic to the brewery and the name was changed into Brasserie Scåssenes. In 2015, the brewery launched its own revolution….the 1830.
In 2020 after years of setbacks (the existing installations of the brewery turned out to be too old or too large; while co-investor Michel Simon left the firm) a new manager was appointed to put things in order. Brewmaster Jerôme, a medical biologist, keeps an eye on the fully automated brewing process.

Une chose est certaine, la brasserie Scassenes (ancienement Ecaussines) joue à fond la carte du Marketing. Mais quand le "claim" (je m’excuse pour l’anglicisme, mais c’est le terme maketing d’usage) affiché est "3 bières, une révolution", encore faut il que la bière soit à la hauteur (je passe sur l’incongruité du lien entre révolution belge de 1830 et création brassicole...). La loi est donc la version triple des 3 bières de la gamme 1830 lancée en 2015. En verre, celle-ci est d’une couleur jaune paille,limpide et parée d’une mousse blanche d’un cm d’épasseur. Le nez est très classique pour une triple. avec des notes de citron et de céréales. En atttaque, les arômes sont ceux du malt, du citron quelques peu épicés avec des notes de coriandre. Nous sommes encore sur un strict classicisme. A partir de ce moment la dégustation devient cependant déroutante. L’amertume, qui gagne alors en puissance est épicée avec des notes très métaliques. L’ensemble est très déséquilibré et pas réellement agréable. Le final renforce encore cette impression avec des arômes fortement poivrés et une présence trop marquée de l’alcool. Le plaisir n’est en conclusion pas au rendez vous, la révolution reste uniquement au niveau du marketing malheureusement....

Bouteille:Light rosé coloured,almost clear, some floaties visible, small and quickly collapsing loose head; distinctive sweetish aroma of raspberries, presumably not artificial, a faint acidity and a faint bitterness in the background; moderate sweet flavour with - see above - a slight acidity and a delicate bitterness; light to medium bodied and nevertheless a bit sticky; sweet finish, full of raspberries. Pretty sweet, but not unpleasant...

Unbelievable, it really has a cookie taste. The combination is a bit strange, but not bad at all.
