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.

Pours a handsome amber with a small head. Sweet aroma of bread, malts, red fruits, a slight caramel. Alcohol is hidden well. A decent beer.

Almost clear golden colour with a big white head. Aroma of malts, yeast, fruits and spices (there’s that coriander again). Flavour is moderate yeasty, fruity sweetness. Rather typical, enjoyable enough Belgian Blonde.

Bottiglia. Il gusto al naso è indirizzato verso sentori di sottobosco. L'olfatto viene stimolato in maniera normale e l'esistenza olfattiva è sufficiente. Il cappello di schiuma ha una buona tenuta. La grandezza delle bollicine è medio-fine. Il liquido è di aspetto cristallino. Il colore è ramato. Il corpo è rotondo. L'amaro è contenuto. La forza gustativa è normale e permane in maniera sufficiente. Il gusto è piacevole. Le sensazioni boccali finali risultano di birra beverina. Il retrogusto è di decente intensità. Al gusto vengono donati toni di miele, frutta secca, pane cotto di recente, agrumi, arancia amara e frutta passita.

Bottiglia. Il gusto al naso viene attratto dal frumento. La finezza olfattiva è normale e il modo in cui permane è sufficiente. Il manto birroso superiore è caratterizzato da una schiuma che resiste abbastanza. La grandezza delle bollicine è medio-fine. Il liquido si presenta velato. Il colore è giallo dorato brillante. Il corpo è rotondo. L'amaro è pronunciato e c'è anche una componente leggermente acidula. La forza gustativa è elevata e si prolunga in modo sufficiente. Il gusto è piacevole. Le sensazioni boccali finali risultano di pronta beva. Il retrogusto è di decente intensità. L'aroma in bocca porta i segni di miele, pane, frumento, erbaceo, agrumi e arancia.

Bottle at home. Aroma is sweet malt, caramel, spices, candy sugar, raisins, nutmeg. Flavour is medium sweet and light bitter. Body is almost medium but feels a bit thin for the style. I am not a fan, it’s so dull and mediocre.
