About
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.

0.75l bottle. Red colour, hazy, with a white head. Good yeasty-beery-fruity nose, quite promising. Not too sweet, pleasantly tart with a nice beery character comparable to a Berliner Weiße, with a pleasant fruity character. Much nicer than expected, actually, really nice to drink!

An average witbier. If I had known it was exclusively brewed for the Russian market I probably wouldn't have bought it.

Bottle Gusher Pours unclear blonde . Thnx to the gushing, you cannot pour this beer ( even withoud disturbing the yeast yourself ) for 5 cl , before you got yeastflakes . They settle slowly, but look awefull . Good white fluffy head Smell is yeasty , some dust ( no best by date on the bottle ) sweet , sweatfeet . . Good carbo Taste is pretty simple , sweet, some yeast, some malty tones . Soft , buttery mouthfeel . Mouthfeel also is ruined by those pieces , that are very easely loosened . Kinda dissapointed by this . Tastewise, its OK , but the scent is bad , and the appearance is just awefull.

BOTTLE 33CL.

Look: clear ruby red with big east flakes, beige medium head.
Aroma: rich dried fruit, cranberries, raisins, a bit of alcohol make it feel like a fruity liquor or a desert wine, brown sugar.
Taste: very sweet, dried fruit, caramel malt, light spicy bitterness, no alcohol, medium body. By the time you finish the bottle, it starts to feel a bit cloying.

Plum beer - plums having been used in beer since medieval times but having become more and more obsolete since then - with pale beige, moussy head and deep reddish bronze colour, hazy. Sweet but fresh fruit in the nose, plums of course, but complex, quince jam, brambleberries, apple sauce, caramel, liqueur, dough, dried leaves, lemon peel, grassy hops. Soft fruit sweetness again in the mouth, as well as fruit sourishness, plum juice dominating at first, caramel malts and a delicate alcohol finish not unlike Kirsch or eau de vie, not astringent, though the sweetness lingers and hop bitterness remains as good as absent. The plum juice taste will remain with you for a while. Very original beer and very interesting.

Darke bronze ale with maple syrup and off-white, thin head; strong sweet fruits in the nose, candied dates, bananas, chocolate and clear presence of resinous maply syrup. Taste likewise: sweet with exotic fruits, resinous mouthfeel with spicy notes, maple syrup unmistakable, sugary and even cloying finish with some floral hops. Not unlike their Ultradélice. Too sweet for me and I don’t like maple syrup very much, at least not in such an obtrusive way.

Geel bier met schuim. Smaak is zoet met speculaas aroma die chemisch overkomt. Combinatie is apart en naar mijn mening minder geslaagd.

Hazy yellow with tall head. Aroma: cereal, yeast, spice, citric. Thin watery palate. Sweet-sour taste. Some hops in the ending. Not impressive at all.

Bottle courtesy of Amy, thank you ma’am! Smells and tastes like oatmeal raisin cookies. An interesting concept, but not for a beer, sorry. Couldn’t finish it.
