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.

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.

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.

Canned 500ml. -from Geant Albertville, shared with Marko & Hrabren. Golden coloured, medium sized white head, light banana and whiff of alcohol in the nose. Sweet malty, light caramel, bit sugary and fruity with some alcohol in the finish. Not bad for what it is.

0.5l can courtesy of Ogi. Clear golden body, off-white, thick head, pretty lasting. Sweet aroma, banana, maltiness, lower alcohol than expected, almost none. Caramelly taste, banana, lean, lightly sweet, clean... I mean, this is a terrible tripel, sugary in a way, and yet, it's drinkable, and remarkably clean. I mean, I'd rink this and I'm feeling like I'm underrating it.
