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.

Bottle, Best before January 24th, 2011 Clear, reddish brown body. Enormously frothy, lightly brown head (air everywhere), which collapses quite swiftly. Somewhat alcoholic aroma of butter, yeast, caramel malts, banana, ... There are some hints of a sweet, sticky cherry liquor. Lightly bitter, moderately sweet initial flavour. Heavily bitter finish, which shows up quite lately. Turns out a little bit weak and also a little bit alcoholic. Strange combination as weakness and alcoholic seem to be 2 opposites, but this one really tastes like that. Can’t call it bad.

Huge, just yellow tinted head, over clear golden beer. Rather sweet nose with vanilla and banana- and appleesters, maybe some glue. White candi sugar. Very light taste and MF, a bit citrussy, lemony. Some restsweetness, but not enough to speak about sweet beer. Indeniably refreshing, quite light in body and texture; near fizzy. Big thanks to Mrs. Van Poucke, who offered me this beer, actually only meant for the Australian (!) market, which explains a lot about its characteristics.

Draught Light amber-red, dissipating yellowish head. Sweet, slightly fruitish and estery nose, cherries/plums on alcohol. Quite spicey, alcoholic taste, higher alcohols. There’s a fruity flavour but it could be indiscriminately plums, cherries, figs or Sharon fruit - as long as they’re dried and preserved with lots of sugar. Well bodied, slick, syrupy, alcoholburn. Well, it’s OK if you got the sweet tooth, but I’d love some more character.

Hazy-amber beer with greenish shine; yellowish head, fast reduced to leaving rims of lace. Perfumed nose, kafir leaf, citrus zeste, bit of grain. Strange, perfumed taste, citrus but not expressly so, sweet, fruity, exotic... Quite refreshing, not too many sugars, yet a certain syrupy feeling. A relief compared to some other "fruit" beers. Yet... I think the Thai would wash their hair with this - as they do with their excellent kafir lime fruitjuice...
