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.

On tap at Villa Gerard, 7 't Zand, Brugge on 12th June 2023. Clean and clear golden body, snow white head; looked good in the afternoon sunshine. Malty, fruity, boozy and herbal; good for a headache I reckon.

Keg. Hazy golden body with a thin white head that holds well. Faint lacing. Aroma of coriander and wheat. Flavour of musky lemon and straw. Medium body with a powdery mouthfeel. Soft fizz. Simple and swiggable.

Bottled. A pale golden pour with an off-white head. Aroma is bread, grass, slight funk, some lemon. Dry, medium carbonation; not to crisp. Medium bitterness in the likely medium-lived aftertaste. Meh.

On tap at the brewery. A clean pale golden pour with a greenish cast and a short-lived snow-white head. Aroma is vanilla, spearmint, bergamot, lemon, grass, leather... and there's also a funky tinge of saddle, most probably some Brett. Mouthfeel is dry, robust, medium-bodied. Bitterish, long-lingering finish.

33 cl bottle in the terrace of Cooking Dao, by the Oude Hansbrug, Keerbergen. A slightly hazy golden pour with some greenish highlights and a nice, thick, creamy, off-white head. In the nose the first notes are those typical of Belgian malts, in this case leaning towards a grassy hint, more than mint or eucalyptus. There's also lemon and cookies. Dry, full-bodied and crisp. There's more bitterness than usual in this style, it reminds me more of a tripel than a Belgian pale ale.
