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.

Bottled (BB 03/2007). Pale yellow, quite big white head. Nose has leather, fruits, cardboard. Medium-bodied. Quite bitter and alcoholic, peppery. Duvel-clone with long bitter aftertaste. Simple but drinkable.

Food white head, fast disappearing over clear gold, big bubbled beer. Very malty nose with greenmalt and a bit grassy. And very dull. Watered down pale malts, retronasal warm summer grain. And sparkling water. Very thinnish. Aftertaste has a very slight hoppy bitterness. This might sound all very bad. Put to put this into perspective, I’ve had some (quite some) foreign lagers that weren’t any better...

Bottled (as Charles Quint Keizer Karel). Dark brown colour, mediumsized brown head. Aroma of dark fruits, malts and spices. Flavour is much more boring, though it contains the same things. Mouthdrying. Some alcohol also noteable, especially after the beer warms up a bit.
