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.

Bière bouteille bue à la vie est belge à Mons en Belgique. Robe ambrée, mousse sense, épaisse et assez persistante. Nez sucre sur le caramel, de spéculoos, le miel. Bouche sur le spéculoos, le fruit cuit, le malt torréfié. Bonne longueur en bouche. Pas mal même si ce bets pas ce que j'attendais au regard du nom de cette bière.

Bottle from Brokantie shop, Pamel. Pours hazy golden with a lasting, thin, frothy, white head. Aroma of banana peel, apricot, white bread, coriander, herbs, yeast, vague sprouts (DMS?). Taste has sweet banana & ripe apple over white bready maltiness, wheaty sour touch, ethereal herbal notes in the back (aniseed, coriander, perfumey orange peel). Yeasty, grassy hoppy finish, more spices, ripe yellow fruit & warming jenever-like alcohol. Medium body, slick texture, medium carbonation. Forgettable.

Bouteille 33cl de la Ferme La Cense des Hirondelles, Silly.
No BB.
Ambrée, sur un col épais blanc-rosé.
Arôme au nez fin fruité de framboise et cerise, rétro modéré de grains, malt cara pils - ressent un côté édulcoré des fruits maintes fois visités par les grands noms des bières fruitées industrielles. Dommage.
Palais est fin malté, fruité de cerise, voire petite fleur d'hibiscus et framboise en retrait sans pour cela avoir le caractère naturel et terreux du fruit; Fini est assez sec sur effervescence moyenne-haute.
Classique, rafraîchissante mais sans plus.

What a funny label! Medicinal strawberry and mintaroma and flavor It seems horrid, but it isn't. Sweet, rather artificial and a bit sticky. peppermint and strawberry marmelade aftertaste. Weird, but not unpleasant. Even my almost-non-beerdrinking wife Diane loved it.

Blonde with chunks of yeast. Mandarin, grapefruit and banana aroma, even some lychee with a hint of glue. Citrus flavor with mandarin, with just a bit of herbal bitterness. Thin, with a relatively short aftertaste. Not bad at all.

Malty aroma with peach and citrus. Flavor has some roasted malt, beach and coffee. Bitter aftertaste. The alcohol is partly hidden by the malty sweetness. Well made, but I prefer the Ultrablonde

Perfumed, somewhat citric aroma.Golden color, hazy, big creamy head. Full bodied, feels heavy. Some malt and hops, but the citrus dominates. Some sweetness that, together with the citrus, overshadows the alcohol. Just a touch of bitterness in the aftertaste. Well made and tasty beer.

Pinkish blonde color. Ginger and cake dough in the aroma. Sweet ginger cake flavor. Mangofruit. Too sweet and I don’t like ginger!
