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.

Love the label and name combo. Would have loved to see this in an US-brewery version since I think most belgian beerlabels seem to have been made with microsoftpaint.... Anyways, Pours clear blonde, no real white head. Smell is mildly dry and has some grains. Taste is mildly bitter, with a natural grainy tasteprofile. OK mouthfeel, overcarbonated. Very common kind of beer

Thanks to Kraddel! 330 ml. bottle sampled @ Rampkrot. Bottled on 27/07/2011. Label is in Russian, export product? Hazy citrus, little white. Nose is very sweet & artificial lemon, huge apple juice, artificial old wheat & yeast. Taste is boozy, phenolic, ester rich, artificial lemon & wheat, fizzy, sweet old yeast, very chemical tasting. Body is chemical & carries signs of age. Okay I suppose as an expired soft drink of sorts.

Pours very clear blonde, OK but instantly fading white head . Scent has some very unintense aspects of sweet malts . Taste is bitter , sweet, bit grainy maltyness . kinda blank taste, however . Like a very diluted tripel , but in a way that it tastes like its brewed like this, and not actually diluted . Tad too high carbo , as like most belgian beers . OK

750ml bottle. Minimally cloudy, mahogany colour with small to average, frothy, half-way lasting, barely lacing, off-white head. Fruity prune aroma comes along on a bready slab, sweet-ish augury. Taste is minimally tart fruity, prune notes all around; prickling carbonation lends airiness, dry finish with hints of fruit parings; maybe a touch of alcohol. Easily not as sweet as sus-/expected, well exposed prune flavours. Funny.

330ml bottle. Slightly hazy, copper-ish brown colour with average, frothy, half-way lasting, minimally lacing, off-white to beige head. Sweet-ish, fruity aroma, notes of raspberry, hints of cherry, all with an artificial jelly baby touch. Taste is very sweet fruity, red fruit, cherry, raspberry, citric acid as counterweight, maybe a floral touch of marzipan and rose blossoms. Way too sweet but yummy.
