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.

The new name of Duivelsputbier, made for the Wisemaele pub in Wezemaal and sold only there and at the Wezemaal wine museum (the irony). Thick, coarse, snow white head, deep orange blonde colour, clear but quite large proteins hovering around. Aroma of orange juice, lemon zest, melon, mead, caramel, cognac, grass; soft fruity taste, very orangey, lemony touch, thinnish caramel malt base, aromatic spiciness, some grassy hops and warming alcohol in the finish. Quite tasty but insufficient body for me, at least for an 8% ABV beer.

Spiced Christmas tripel since 2007. Off-white head over a yellow blonde beer, sweet and fruity aroma of cinnamon, honey, candi syrup, pineapple, vanilla, flowers. Soft sweet taste, sugary, strong peachy and banana-like fruitiness, gradually evolving into a floral and spicy, lightly warming finish. Nice.

With ’soif’ meaning thirst, it is obvious from the start that this one is intended as a simple blonde thirst quencher of low ABV, as there are many around. It bears a rocky, off-white, irregular head and orangey yellow robe, hazy, completely clouded with deposit. Fruity aroma of orange, mango, banana, flowers, soap, coriander, cheese, straw and some unpleasant solvents, even a bit ammonia-like, luckily fading away after a while. Fruity and citrussy, fresh onset, light sourish wheat, sweet pale maltiness, dryer in the finish with a medium long grassy hop bitterishness in the finish. Ordinary - but quenching indeed.
