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.

A hazy red-brown beer with a brown head. The aroma is sweet with notes of alcohol and spices - especially coriander, and so is the flavor. On my tastebuds this is a clone of a brune and a blonde - it has the looks of a brune, but the flavor of a blonde.

An orange beer with an off-white head. The aroma contains notes of alcohol, spices, and peach and is a little vinous. The flavor is spicy with notes of citrus as well as hints of coriander, leading to a dry end, while the body is thin.

Very pale lemon yellow; big yellowish head leaving lace. Sourish nose as wet dripping grass or hay, even a tad metallic - not very inviting. One second a nice hoppy impression, then taken over by a nearly nauseating rotting malt sweetness. Turns metallic-bitterish in the finish. Slickness, light bodied. Disgusting supermarkt lager ( bought under the name of Carrefour -supermarkt - Premium Lager )

Pale gold, totally clear; fluffy, snow-white head. Grassy & metallic nose, some obnoxious garden weed. Some very faint, quite herbal malts, with a harsh metallic finish. Mouthfeel as totally empty as an election promess. Way below average supermarket lager.
