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 Deep red body. Pinkish head with a nice lice. Aroma of sweet cherry syrup and red soft candy. I can’t agree more with Joris, this is way too sweet. This is pure cherry syrup. This is a soft drink, why am I rating this ... Another for the sink ...

[Bottled] Pale golden. Metallic and bland with traces of maize. Too light bodied with just a touch of late grassiness. Poor, also by low alcohol lager standards as far as I’m concerned.

An amber beer with a light brown head. The aroma has strong notes of cowberres, and some spicy roots which I can’t put names to, though some of it is licorice root. The flavor is sweet malty with notes of cowberries, spicy roots, as well as light notes of honey. The alcohol warms the tongue. I have no idea where this came from, but Sofie (Frk_Aabenhuus) was so nice as to share it with me.

A dark amber beer with a small head. The aroma is very lightly sweet and fruity. The flavor is of a good maltblend, with roasted, sweet, and fruity notes - a very complex flavor.

Deep red with small cyclamen-pink head. Nose of fruit/cherry drops for VERY young children. Concentrated, at that. Disgustingly sweet, artificial, sweetsflavour. This is NOT beer. Sweet, cloying & syrupy. Absolutely horrible. What adult would drink this willingly, for chrissakes?

Tasted under the Lager Premium (GB) moniker. Small yellow tinted head; strange, sparse big-bubbled carbonation in golden beer with a greenish shine. Very malty, sweet-grainy nose, confirming the "Export" tag; bit of vanilla and lots of grass/hay. Dry-bitter, rather hoppy onset, showing sweet malt underbuild, but allways with quite some rootspicey bitterness. Alas, it turns to pure metallic flavour in the aftertaste and an empty palate. Starts rather well, but goes on ruining itself professionaly.

Very pale metallic gold, with huge, fluffy, slightly irregular white head. Bit oppressive nose of vanilla beans and especially white asparagus shoots; coriander as well, alcohol - certain complexity. Alcohol steered, but dry rather than sweet taste; in fact, it’s way more Duvel-like than some obvious Duvel clones. Seaweed flavour, coriander, and a more spicey vegetable taste than the asparagus aroma, citrus zeste. Slight burning, very alcholic, bone dry, serious punch. Hmmm - this is not bad. I’d say that blindfold many people would hazard Duvel...

Deep gold with slow big bubbles, not able to prevent the whitish head to disappear fast. Sweet & grainy nose; some ’other’ sweetness - maybe cornsyrup? Watery taste with a background sweetness that is clearly artificial. Very fizzy - aiding th bit falsely refreshing qualities. Well - I think children should learn to drink tafelbier (table beer) - but this is coloured mineral water.
