Scåssenes (previously Ecaussinnes)
Commercial Brewery in Ecaussinnes, Hainaut, Belgium 🇧🇪
Established in 1999
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.

Bottle. nicely tart raspberry nose. Sweet candy raspberry flavor, too syrupy and cloying. Not very nice.

Bouteille(750ml): Reddish-amber coloured, hazy, some floaties visible, small off-white foamy layer; sweetish caramelly nose with distinctive plummy-fruity traces and almost solid nutty aromas; solid sweet flavour, very mild bitterness, medium bodied, fortunately not sticky; sweet fruity finish, balancing bitterness hardly detectable. Not too bad, but too sweet for me…

33 cl. shared bottle, poured in to a Flute. Hazy, red-brown colour with a dense, pink-ish head. Sweet aroma with raspberries, strawberries, caramel malts, only a subtle, acidic note. Taste is sweet. Medium body with a lively carbonation and a creamy texture. Finishes sweet and fruity with raspberries. Rather sweet Fruit Beer, albeit not unpleasant.
