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 33 cl) Pretty amber coloured with a haze. Rather light body-feel. Yeaty nose, some malty sweetness balanced by a small but fine hoppy finish. Decent but not really that interesting. This is 6% ABV. 261097

(Bottle 33 cl) My version was only 7% ABV. Dark brown with a reddish hue, decent head. Very malty and full-bodied, with some roasted, sweetish notes - although the sugar never gets cloying. Reminds me of an Abbey Dubbel. 280597

(Bottle 25 cl) Brewed with three different malts and added sugar this is a very dark but also very sweet beer - slightly brownish head. Lots of toffee- and caramel flavours. Almost a dessert beer - for chocolate mousse perhaps? Nice in smal quantities.... 030296

Bottled (BB 12/2005)
Golden colour, creamy white head. Rye-bread, berry-like flavor. Sweetish, medium-bodied, bready-malty flavor, grassy spicey notes. Strange blonde, I wonder if this bottle was really ok.

Bottle. Pale yellow colour. Big, white, unstable head. Aroma of fruit and mold, hint of white wine. Flavour starts bonbon-sweet, citrus fruity, grape. Tiny bitterness in the end. Medium body, soda-like carbonation. OK, but boring.

(Bottle 33 cl) Actually more amber than blond, what I usually refer to as fully golden. Filtered with a HUGE head that never flattens - quite impressive. Typical Belgian yeasty notes, otherwise fruity with some nutty notes. Fresh with some bitterness in the palate. "Celestus" is a brand for a Belgian supermarket-chain (have forgotten which) and I wonder if this is just a Tongerlo 6 Blond in disguise? 050305

A light yellow beer with a white head. The aroma is malty with notes of straw and a slightly sour background. The flavor is sweet malty with notes of straw and a dry hoppy end.

(Bottle 33 cl) Dark brownish with a touch of red. Off-white head. A Dubbel on the dry side with the caramel sweetness well balanced out. A good choice if in a pub with nothing more substantial. 040893
