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.

Not special at all. Aroma is rather good, but the flavor is quite disappointing.

Ruby colour; fruity-malty aroma (bosc pears, cherries, rambutan). Clean maltiness of palate, finishing sweet. Lack of overt yeastiness may put off some Belgian fans, but this is a nice late winter nightcap.

Assertively malty and yeasty with some raisiny notes and a surprisingly light body.
