Description
An independent, family-run brewery for over 110 years. True Belgian craftsmanship. That's Haacht Brewery.
On June 14, 1898 Eugène De Ro brewed his first top fermentation beer. Four years later he also started brewing bottom fermentation beer. His beers were such a hit that ‘Haecht’s Dairy Company and Brewery’ became one of the best Belgian breweries in 1913. In the fifties and sities there were numerous small takeovers and the Haacht Brewery beers were being distributed across the entire country. Thanks to the take-overs of breweries in the south of the Netherlands and northern France, Haacht Brewery set foot ashore in neighboring countries. In 1990, Haacht Brewery started the complete replacement of its production apparatus; the whole process was completed around 2015. Today, Haacht Brewery is a state-of-the-art brewery, inspired by its history and at the same time more than ready for the future.

Creamy off white head on a ruby coloured body.
Toffee, berries, malt & spiced tastes with a lightly hopped tangy finish.
That's a rich tasting Belgian - Good

Mid triple, some spices and the aftertaste is quite citrusy. A lot of carbonation/yeast though, too much if you ask me.

Tap, gehuurd van ‘t Hekeltje Alkmaar, ze noemen het zelf Robbenbier, cap op fust zegt JWG. Meerdere glazen. Helder goudgele kleur, witte kraag. Licht grassig, licht moutig, fris, hint van rode appels en maïs, niet te zoet, degelijk bitter. Lichte body. Prima pilsje, boven verwachting goed. Smaakte ongetwijfeld nog beter door de hitte van afgelopen weekend.

On tap. Pours a bright amber with moderate foamy head. Aromas of Belgian yeast, fruit, coriander and doughy malts. Bitter flavors follow same. Very nice. I’m liking this more than previous reviewers!
