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.

Bottle: Huge, rocky brownish head, slowly collapsing; mahagony coloured; delicate roast-malty/caramelly nose with a distinctive sweet fruity touch; mild sweet-bitter flavour, light to medium bodied; soft malty-bitter, a bit coffeeish, a bit fruity finish. Not bad at all..........

Bottle Clear blond body. White, creamy head, which lasts quite long. Faint aroma of hops. Lightly bitter, moderately sweet flavour. Very unbalanced flavour, alcoholly with some spices. Especially in the end it’s very nasty, so didn’t like it at all and it even seems quite amateuristic.

Bottle: Poured a hazy orange amber with a long lasting creamy head. Smell was of fruit and hops. Taste was sweet and fruit. Not overly impressive for a Christmas beer.

A golden beer with an off-white head. The aroma is sweet malty with light notes of the hops, while the flavor is plainly sweet malty, and the body is thin. Boring.
